The most amazing engagement session on Lake Minnetonka for Clay and Andrea 🛥️ 🦢 🌊 🤍

Absolutely obsessed 😍! We started the session on Big Island (an island on Lake Minnetonka with some very cool history) and then ended off the session on their boat and back at the beautiful house with their doggos!

Save this for inspo for your engagement session 💍

As a wedding photographer- I often like taking little videos throughout the day for my couples! 💅🏻

I may not be able to take some of the very important moments (like the first kiss etc), because that’s when I need to be locked in to get the shot! 👰‍♀️ 🤵🏻

But a laid back schedule with lots of time really allows me to capture these fun candid iPhone videos that I’m happy to share with you or make into a little reel like this! 🥰🥹

So if you don’t have the budget for videography or full on content creation, I’ve got you 🙌

Love me some flash 🥂

I photographed Abby and Duy’s wedding inside the O’Shaughnessy distillery in St Paul on a rainy day. The venue is very moody and has a warm atmosphere. I absolutely loved capturing their photos here 🥂🍹.

I used my flash for some classic, timeless shots and then combined the natural light coming in from the windows for some softer light as well. The raindrops made it extra beautiful 🤩.

I love adding variety into my galleries and playing around with lots of different light! If your wedding venue doesn’t have lots of natural light- it’s okay! Your photos will still turn out beautiful if you find someone who can capture the vision 💅🏻.

Tag a future bride! 👰‍♀️

The most beautiful Catholic Church Bride & Groom Portraits in St Paul 🤍💒!

I often hear couples say “we don’t know what to do in front of the camera”, “we’re awkward!”, “Please help us”- and that’s exactly why I’m here! I help guide you to take your dream wedding photos that will look perfectly natural✨.

A big part of getting beautiful photos is having a photographer that knows how to work with light!

If you like these photos- follow along for more! Or better yet, if you’re still looking for a wedding photographer for your 2026 or 2027 wedding, you can reach out through the link in my bio 🫶

•Play your fav jams 🎶
•Have a lil mimosa or drink of choice to elevate your mood 🍹
