Laurel and Casey's Wedding

Wow I really love military weddings!  Laurel and Casey were married at The Outing Lodge at Pine Point in Stillwater, MN.  A beautiful turn of the century European style venue surrounded by gorgeous greenery and gardens.  

 I love this tender moment of the bride and her little sister.

 I love the elegance of this gown!  The lace texture the ruffles and beading... beautiful!

 I love that the wedding party wore converse, something Laurel is very passionate about.

 Amazing bouquet!  I love the flowers used and the drama of the dark vine.

 I love this... Maybe mostly because I hold the back of my husband's head the same way.  It is because of the military hair cut?  My husband is soldier, I wonder if this is common.

Formal Marine dress blue uniform, stunning!

 This one just melts my heart.

 The dance floor is in the lowest level which has the feel of an old European pub.

Beautiful wedding, beautiful venue, and a beautiful start to the marriage of Laurel and Casey. 

Kaylyn & Taylor Senior Portrait Sessions

Senior sessions and all sessions can be shared!  An hour and a half session is more than enough time for me to combine 2 or more sessions and you will have more than enough portraits to choose from.  Seniors work out great because while an outfit change is happening I can photograph the other.  I often get asked if I do mini sessions and I have in the past but it works out much easier for a few families, seniors, couples to coordinate with my schedule instead of me trying to pick a date that works for many people.  Agree on a setting and some dates and give me a call and we can get a shared session scheduled.  

I especially love seniors sharing a session.  These girls encouraged each other to have fun!  It's also great to get some group shots of good friends.

Kaylyn and Taylor were so easy to photography, pretty and sweet too!

For this shot Taylor was literally just sitting watching Kaylyn having her turn.  All I had to say was don't move.

Stunning...

Jessica's Senior Portrait Session

I had a great time photographing Jessica senior portraits.  She is gorgeous! I love the clothes she brought along for the session, and the prom dress on the beach was so fun!  

Sometimes an alley can be the best place for portraits!  We found a cool broken chair and pretty flowers.

Love this vintage effect with Jessica's dress and heels.

These beach shots just before sunset.  Pretty lighting but we sure had to work quickly.

These have to be some of my favorite trash the prom formal shots I have ever taken.  Stunning girl and location!

I love it when a girl in a prom dress is willing to get in the water.
