  • KNOT-TIED: Katie + Chris // Rustic Oaks Wedding Photographer

    Katie and Chris’ gorgeous Rustic Oaks wedding was an absolute pleasure to be apart of! I loved all of the little details that went into their day, the rustic decorations, and the love I saw throughout the day between Katie, Chris, their son Jack, and both families. We had a tornado scare, chance of rain all day, and a host of flies that followed us, but none of those reasons could shake the smile from Katie and Chris! We had a gorgeous backdrop and got to use the beautiful Rustic Oaks grounds to capture important parts of the day! Katie is one of the nicest and most caring people I’ve worked with and I love how she is always thinking of others – she is truly selfless. I couldn’t get enough of their hysterical and clearly adorable son, Jack! He was such a great helper and as you’ll see below, was my second shooter helping me capture the day through his own lens 🙂 So much can be said about this fantastic wedding, but I’ll let you see for yourself how Katie + Chris’ June wedding unfolded. Enjoy!

  • KNOT-TIED: Dani + Jared // Vintage Garden Wedding Photographer

    What an incredible wedding day that Dani + Jared were blessed with. From the PERFECT weather, to the adoring families and friends, to the gorgeous flowers, to the catering, the decorations, and the rustic, yet sophisticated Vintage Gardens venue – I’m not sure their day could have gone any better! I was absolutely in love with EVERY single detail of their huge day. These two are just adorable together and truly are so in love. The way Jared was looking at Dani all day made everyone see how perfect of a match they are. The day went off without a hitch and it was full of love, laughter, and so much fun. I’m so thankful to have gotten to the opportunity to work with the Daly family again for their second daughter’s wedding! I hope you all enjoy the beautiful details, the newlywed smiles, and the crazy fun barn dance below! Enjoy 🙂

  • GLAM: Al + Jordan // Fargo Fashion Photographer

    When the lilacs bloom in Spring, you HAVE to take advantage of them! They’re only in bloom for a few days typically, so when I spotted this AMAZING field of lilac trees on a piece of land (I hope it was public!!) north of Fargo, I just had to have a session there. Luckily, I wrangled Alex and Jordan into having a mini glamour session with me! I love glamour sessions – they’re pretty new to the ACP line-up, but I’m always game if someone is interested 🙂 Words won’t do these images justice, so i’ll just let you all gawk at how beautiful these two are amongst the stunning lilac trees. Enjoy!

    ImageImageImageImage The big floppy hats are such a statement! I love including them in sessions 🙂ImageImageImageImageImageImageImageImage Alex was my very FIRST bride ever…she definitely knows how to work the camera 🙂 ImageImageImageImageImageImage Absolutely stunning – I totally wish their other sister, Dani would have been able to join us! BUT, lucky for all of you – she was my bride this past weekend, SO, you’ll see tons of her and her husband on the blog this week! ImageImage

    I hope you all enjoy the week ahead! Summer is here!
