East meets West wedding with elegance – Nasreen & Philip’s wedding

I don’t really know how Nasreen planned her fabulous day of wedding festivities with Philip – she works, she goes to school, they just bought a house – and yet they had a series of gorgeous events at the downtown Minneapolis Hilton. After a short Muslim ceremony, Nasreen’s brother oversaw a more traditional wedding and then on the the reception, which featured a few Afghan traditions, a lot of dancing, and a afghan pop singer!

It is kind of still a whirlwind for me of red shoes, gorgeous golden rooms and awesome details. Congratulations, Nasreen and Philip, and thanks for letting me be a part of your wedding!

Minnesota Wedding Photographer – Paula & Nick’s northern Minnesota cabin and lake weding

Paula & Nick met at a fish conference (they are both fish scientists), so it was very fitting that they chose Nick’s family cabin on a lake as their wedding location. Paula and Nick are wonderful, fun, and non-fussy people, so I totally clicked with them, even though we hadn’t met before, and even though I am not a fish scientist.

A water theme ran throughout, culminating in the boat they used to exit their ceremony – a vintage wooden boat that Nick had painstakingly restored for the occassion.

Minneapolis Wedding Photographer – Melanie & Casey’s cannon river winery wedding

Melanie & Casey chose the Cannon River Winery for their wedding, and it is a gorgeous venue set in the rolling hills of farm country. The vineyard was a fabulous setting for photos, and it contained a slightly deteriorated antique barn, which was the perfect site for their ceremony. Then on to the winery building in downtown Cannon Falls for a lovely reception featuring a stunning cake (so pretty!), lots of antique winery details, and a lot of dancing!

Minneapolis Engagement Photographer – Portraits at the Minnesota State Fair

Sara & Eric are about to celebrate their one year anniversary. When I photographed their wedding last year, they mentioned how much they loved the state fair – their wedding food included french fries, funnel cakes, and cookies, and they had a photo booth to complete a state fair theme for their guests. So this year, they went to the state fair and we had a food and love themed photoshoot.
