Jessie and Brett's Wedding

Jessie Ostlund and Brett Sorensen were married July 18 in Minneapolis. They had probably one of the most elegant weddings we've photographed this year. Starting at the venerable Minneapolis Club downtown where Jessie dressed, we photographed the couple in the halls and stairways of this grand old lady, which has hosted presidents and heads of state since the turn of the last century. Jessie was a stunner in her Amsale gown. Brett and his groomsmen all wore tuxes and bow ties, quite the gentlemen. The ceremony was held at St. Olaf Church across the street and the reception at the Golden Valley Country Club. In between we took the wedding party to their old neighborhood downtown on First Street and then to Nicolette Island. A beautiful wedding with a warm, loving family....

Jill and Cole's Engagement Session

Jill Henderson and Cole Peterson met in a movie theater where they both worked, and they have a wedding coming up this Sunday here in Stillwater.  So in the spirit of Hollywood, we put together a movie of their engagement session. The place was the Boomsite here in Stillwater. The little guy is their newborn son. Here is the movie of our photography.

Liz and Nate

Catching up here to let you know about a recent wedding. Elizabeth Davis and Nathan Kro tied the knot on June 20 at the Maple Grove Lutheran Church.  The ceremony was followed by a reception at the spacious Plymouth Creek Center, a modern civic center surrounded by beautiful gardens and a bandshell. They are a fun and easy-going couple, and we took the time to do some lovely portraits around the Plymouth Center surrounds even as the sky threatened to open up any second. Elizabeth's parents are involved in education and live in Marquette, Michigan, home of Nick (my husband and photography partner) and even know Nick's mother, who also used to teach in the Marquette school system. Nick graduated from Northern Michigan University and his dad Richard Gorski was the head of the art department. Tiny world!! We had a wonderful time at their preview party here in my studio, where they saw the wedding portraits for the first time last week.
