Weddings

I’ve done a LOT of proposal photos. Like—a lot a lot. And every single proposal means something. But does every single one of them have me sobbing my heart out on TikTok? 

Can we talk about why the ‘getting ready’ part of your wedding day is secretly the most underrated? (Good, because I’m going to. Glad we agree on things already.)
(Scratch that, it is, without a doubt, my Roman Empire.)

And that’s exactly why cinematic photography works: when instinct takes the lead, movie magic happens. 

Advance apologies for how much I’m about to rave about this themed Yellowstone wedding in Glacier National Park, but I think it might be my Roman Empire.

From my vantage point, as the traveling wedding photographer who was lucky enough to document their Minnesota wedding, a lot of this “masterpiece-ness” can be chalked up to the Minneapolis wedding vendors who contributed their own creative ingenuity to the day.

I photograph weddings with this mantra in mind:
Recognize there would be no extraordinary without the ordinary, and we deserve to remember both.

Through a cinematic lens and always down to party energy, the photos I capture blend documentary and luxury, authenticity and romance. The ordinary becomes the extraordinary during a wedding day, how could I not dedicate my life to capturing that?

Weddings are mind boggling to me because everyday moments somehow turn into pure magic. Your favorite people coming together and sharing a meal, laughing at your moms embarrassing dance moves from the 80’s, ditching the high heels and slapping on the Crocs.
