FAMILY: The Gonella’s // Minneapolis Family Photographer

February 10, 2015

I’m finally catching up on some of my sessions from this past Fall! A lot of posts coming up are of family’s who wanted me to wait to post anything until after Holiday cards went out — I would want the same!! Anyways, to start it off, here is incredibly energetic Gonella family of 7!!! Believe it or not, they have two, yes 2 sets of twins!! These kids were all full of energy and were so much fun to hang out with! I was amazed at how incredible the older three siblings were at looking after and helping the two year twins! We luckily had one of the last nice days of Fall for this shoot and took full advantage of it 🙂 Enjoy the Gonella’s!

Just too cute 🙂

KNOT-TIED: Tanis + Matt // Fargo Wedding Photographer

January 27, 2015

Wow, what a year it has been. I can’t believe I’m blogging my FINAL 2014 wedding for you all to see! I literally can’t fathom how quickly this past year has gone – but nonetheless, it was a fantastic year full of so many AMAZING people! Tanis + Matt were the perfect ending to a successful year – these two are HYSTERICAL, relatable, so in love, and so genuine. I thoroughly enjoyed spending time with these two – they are so lucky to have found each other and I am so happy they are Mr. and Mrs.! Their small, Fargo wedding was on an abnormally nice day in December – we prepared for the worst and utilizing the Plains Art Museum for the gorgeous natural light it boasts! Since it wasn’t 40 below outside, we even got to get outside for a few portraits! Tanis, Matt + Co. were all troopers – something I really appreciate in a bridal party 🙂 The HoDo was one heck of a gorgeous reception!! It’s a super intimate space which created a feel unlike most receptions I’ve attended. The love and laughter filled the room all night. I could go on and on about the decor, the gourmet food, the subtle touches and the looks between Tanis + Matt – but I’ll just let you see for yourself the excellent night we all had 🙂 Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Walch!!

Such a great way to end 2014 🙂 Cheers to 2015!

KNOT-TIED: Jess + Kyle // Destination Wedding Photographer

January 19, 2015

How exciting to finally share this blog post with you all! My FIRST destination wedding 🙂 And it was BEAUTIFUL! We had the nicest 75 degree day in beautiful Fort Myers, FL. I was not only lucky enough to document this wedding, but be able to call Jess + Kyle such good friends 🙂 Jess + Kyle are some super fun and caring people – they care so much about others and the whole time we were down in Florida, they were always making sure everyone was having a good time. We were so lucky to have a nice day for their wedding!! The little details of this wedding were gorgeous – take a look at the flowers – just gorgeous! Tropical flowers for a tropical wedding 🙂 I can’t even begin to express how much I love destination wedding – the simplicity of it all is so attractive – the wedding is completely focused on the couple instead of all the details that go into a large wedding. Jess + Kyle had a ton of friends and family come down for their big day – you could definitely feel the love! I’ll quit gabbing for now, and let you see just how gorgeous the couple and Florida really is 🙂 Enjoy!! Congrats Jess + Kyle – I’m so happy for you both 🙂

YAY! I love Florida 🙂 Happy Monday!!
