• KNOT-TIED: Lindsay + Adam // North Dakota Wedding Photographer

    Oh boy, do I have a gorgeous wedding to share with you all today!! I had the great privilege of shooting Lindsay + Adam’s wedding this fall at the gorgeous Black Leg Ranch! This venue is unlike any other I have worked at – the amazing copper jewel barn and the unique ceremony area completely set this venue apart from the rest! I loved the rustic feel of everything Lindsay + Adam picked out for their big day. From the cowboy hats and jeans the men wore, to the adorable jean jackets the ladies donned, it was a wedding to remember! Lindsay was a beautiful bride and I loved the way Adam looked at her all day with admiration. We had gorgeous weather and took advantage of the beautiful day they chose. We spent almost the whole day outdoors and loved every second of it. Lindsay wanted to take portraits at a separate location a few miles away and I’m SO glad we did! We worked with some abandoned buildings and tall grass – which always makes for a beautiful portrait 🙂 The ceremony was one of the prettiest all year – the light was perfect and the love was everywhere you looked. The night continued with hysterical speeches, an amazing supper, and some very impressive dancing! I loved every minute of the Boone’s big day and am so happy they chose me to document their love 🙂 Congratulations, you two! Hope to see you both soon 🙂

  • Happy Thursday!!! I’m SO excited for the weekend, but first, I had to share a gorgeous wedding with you all today. Nessa + Andy’s early September wedding was one of my favorite weddings all year. Their simple way they undeniably love each other made my job completely easy from start to finish. Andy truly adores Nessa and it was so apparent throughout the day how much he loves her. I never had to “coach” them into posing or interactions – they are as natural as it gets! Their wedding took place at the Valley Golf Course in East Grand Forks – we had a gorgeous sunny day and a beautiful venue to work with. I loved Nessa’s tea length wedding gown coupled with Andy’s bowtie 🙂 Nessa’s bridesmaids were absolutely hysterical and had me laughing all day. I love when weddings take place all at one location – the whole day is relaxed and easy going – just the way weddings should be! I am so lucky to have gotten the opportunity to work with these two. Cheers to the new Mr. and Mrs. Halvorson! 🙂

  • Happy Sunday, everyone! I’ve been a workaholic lately with trying to keep up with all of my fall sessions and weddings! I’m thrilled to be sharing Kelsey + Jordan’s September wedding with you all today. These two are so very special to so many people and that rang true throughout their big day. Their little guy, Jerick definitely stole the show though with his custom made tuxedo – I mean c’mon, a baby in a tux — YES, PLEASE! Kelsey’s decorations and flowers were so beautiful – she definitely hit a homerun on the color scheme:)  The day began with hair/makeup before we headed over to portraits at UND and University Park – I never tire shooting at these locations (especially with all the green leaves!). The ceremony was beautiful and meaningful – I absolutely love when the words spoken are so true of the couple. We headed to the Bun (FOR ONE!) before starting the party at the reception! The whole day was filled with so much laughter and love and I’m so happy I was a part of their celebration. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Hart – I wish you so much joy and happiness!
