Katie & Nate | Minneapolis Wedding Photographer

August 23, 2012 By Karin

Katie and Nate are getting married this fall and I can’t wait!! These two have amazing senses of humor, which contributed to an extra fun session (not to mention their beautiful smiles and love for each other!). They also made it a priority to include their two beloved rescue pups, Biscuit and Franklin. :)

Oh my gosh, Biscuit. You are too cute for words! He is thought to be a Yorkie x Chinese Crest Powder Puff. Katie adopted him when she worked in Michigan – he was sick and underweight when she adopted him, but now he is happy and slightly overweight at around 5-6 pounds. :)

And handsome Franklin the Italian Greyhound (you can call him Frank the Tank). Katie and Nate adopted him from Ruff Start Rescue.

What a perfect family!

Okay, so this last photo was supposed to be a joke and nobody was supposed to see it but the three of us. Well, the expressions on Franklin and Biscuit’s faces are just priceless to not share with the world. Please enjoy the cute puppies!

Thanks for the fun session you four – I can’t wait for the big day!!

Erin & Max | St. Cloud Wedding Photographer

August 20, 2012 By Karin

Erin and Max were recently married on one of the most beautiful days of this summer! They had their lovely ceremony at Munsinger Gardens in St. Cloud, Minnesota. I have been friends with Erin since junior high school, playing in band and orchestra with her, along with some rousing piano duets. I met Max for the first time on their wedding day, but could instantly tell they were perfect for each other! It was so fun to see them get married and see how happy they make each other! Their ceremony was incredibly sweet and very emotional (hardly a dry eye in the audience!). Congratulations again to my friend Erin and new friend Max!

That one curl in the breeze is simply perfect.

Ah, married! The tears of happiness kept on flowing for both of them.

When Erin’s parents got married, they had their wedding photos taken in this same exact spot:

Congratulations Erin and Max – your wedding made my heart happy! Thank you for inviting me to photograph such a wonderful day!

DJ & Katie | Engagement Session

January 4, 2012 By Karin

DJ and Katie are two Californians living in Minnesota. DJ moved here first for graduate school and later convinced Katie to join him, but on one condition… she never has to pick up a snow shovel. :)

There was hefty debate whether they wanted their session during the fall season or have a snowy winter session. They opted for the latter and we scheduled their engagement session to take place right before Christmas. Minnesota had different plans for us, but I think we were all appreciative of the warm, sunny day we had!

We began the session in their Northeast Minneapolis neighborhood. I loved both their adorable outfits and even more adorable smiles. :)

I used to live right by this apartment building and I always wanted to photograph it… I finally got my chance!

We then headed to the ever-popular Mill City area. Whenever I shoot at frequently-photographed locations I always try extra hard to see things in a different way. Unfortunately for DJ and Katie, this meant hiking up a big hill; despite the sun, it was a little chilly up there! Totally worth it though – I love the blue sky and wisps of clouds.
