minneapolis wedding photographer: ashley + josh

July 31, 2010

It was great fun to be able to capture the joy of my cousin Ashley & Josh’s wedding day in Eau Claire, WI.  Family weddings are the best! Ashley is a drop-dead gorgeous girl and our cameras loved her just about as much as she loves Josh.  Plus she was a super laid back bride and was totally up for hauling the whole wedding party out to the Owen Park band shell for some killer photos before the ceremony.  It was pretty hot day so we were relieved that no one melted in the making.  Ashley & Josh are an incredible couple and we wish them only the best!

twin cities wedding photographer: now booking 2011!

July 9, 2010

Planning a wedding in Minnesota/Western Wisconsin?  We would be absolutely delighted to come–and  bring our cameras, of course!  We are now booking weddings for the 2011 season.  Please don’t hesitate to contact us for details/availability.

So far 2010 has been a wonderful year of learning & growing for us.   We’ve learned that we really, truly enjoy working together as a husband-wife photography team. While we love photographing people of all ages and stages, we’ve found that we especially have a heart for weddings.  We’ve been blessed by opportunities to shoot several weddings together this year and our experience has only fueled our passion.  We’ve discovered that there are remarkable opportunities to capture timeless moments in a day filled with sweet emotions, beautiful attire, and your elegant, personal details.  As a married couple who have been there before, together, we realize that wedding days can be so fleeting.  Allow us to help put you at ease and help you remember your day with gorgeous images!

What you can expect working with us on your wedding day:

Jeff: will arrive armed with equipment, ready to rock and roll and optimize lighting in any venue.  As the more seasoned photographer, he will direct both formal and informal shots of your family and wedding party.  He will capture all of the classic shots, like you walking down the aisle, exchanging rings, and cutting your cake.  He will chit chat with your mom and shake hands with your dad.  If it weren’t for the big black camera around his neck, he’d probably fit right in with your guests, because when it comes to mingling, he’s downright sparkling.

Jessica: will show up and gush about how amazing your flowers are and who designed your dress.  (She is obsessed with details.) Then she will get to work, snap detail shots of your shiny things and shoes, and stick close as you transform into a beautiful bride.  At times she may help direct you, but mostly she’ll blend into the background and capture candid shots–like that look you give your dad right before you’re about to walk down the aisle, or the elated grins of you and your (husband!) on the flip side.

Both: will help you enjoy the day as perfectly as you planned it.  We will laugh and cry with you.  We will work hard to get to know you and capture your personality and spark as a couple.  We will work together effortlessly and comfortably, because that’s how the happily married operate.

We may even have such a great time that you’ll catch us snitching samples of your cake.  Just be warned.

minneapolis wedding photographer: brittany + jordan

July 8, 2010

We were really blessed with the chance to photograph Brittany & Jordan’s wedding in Southern Minnesota. Maybe we are biased, but there are few things as charming as a sweet+simple country wedding.  Seeing Brittany walk down the aisle was like a stroll down memory lane for us, because the ceremony was at the same church where we got married 4 summers ago! One of the most fun parts of the day for us was the chance to split away with just the newlyweds for an hour between the ceremony and reception and get some great photos at a nearby family farm. We wish there could be an aqua shed handy for every photo shoot!

eau claire wedding photographer: katie + ryan

July 2, 2010

It was a huge treat to be able to photograph Katie + Ryan’s beautiful outdoor wedding at the Florian Gardens in Eau Claire, WI.  Extra special because I (Jeff) have known the bride and her family since she was a little girl!  These two are great young couple and I wish them a lifetime of happiness.

eau claire wedding photographer: amanda + chad

June 22, 2010

We had a blast photographing Amanda and Chad’s pretty church ceremony and picture-perfect outdoor reception.   They are a really fun, bubbly couple and infused so much personality into the elements of the day.   Amanda’s DIY details and vibrant pink & orange really packed a punch.  Get ready for some serious eye candy.

minneapolis wedding photographer: maria + dave

June 17, 2010

Last month we had the opportunity to shoot this sweet couple’s wedding in Lakeville, MN.  Maria & Dave have a pretty epic love story, and believe it or not, it all began in the checkout lane at Target, when Dave bought a pink toothbrush.  Their happiness just radiates through the pictures, don’t you think?

minneapolis st. paul wedding photographer: enjoy workshop

April 17, 2010

We had a lot of fun a few Saturdays ago at the Enjoy photo workshop, hosted by amazing Minneapolis wedding photographer Erin Johnson.  We got to meet several other up-and-comers, and we soaked in tons of great info–from photo techniques to marketing ideas to branding strategies and everything else in between.  Best of all, we got to try our hand at a trash-the-dress style group photo shoot.  Tons of really fun images.  For all you aspiring photographers in the area, we can’t recommend Erin’s workshops highly enough!

eau claire wedding photographer: gretchen + mark

April 4, 2010

This month, we had the honor of photographing our beautiful friend Gretchen’s wedding in Eau Claire.  She and Mark were blessed to have an unseasonably warm, sunny day filled with an abundance of family and friends as they began their new life together.   As I write this, I just got off the phone with Gretchen and she was still glowing and giddy about how the whole day went.  And how could you not be happy, when you get to wear an elegant white dress and carry the most beautiful blue bouquet of hydrangeas and orchids around all day?  Congrats Gretchen & Mark.  We are so glad for you!

Flowers: Brent Douglas.  Gown: Foreign 5.  Jewelry: Brides of France.  Pew decorations: livingtheswelllife.  Rings : Kay.
