Melissa and Derrik's Engagment Session

Melissa and Derrik will be celebrating their marriage vows next July at the Chart House in Lakeville. We met on a perfect fall day for some photos near Riverplace. There is so much variety and beauty in that area, especially on a gorgeous day in Autumn! Melissa and Derrik are easy people to photograph and are very sweet. I know their wedding will be beautiful! :)

Tess and Dustin's Wedding

Tess and Dustin's wedding was beautiful and so much fun! The weather couldn't have been much nicer and everyone was happy to see these two say their vows and celebrate. I love how weddings bring families together to celebrate life and love. Congratulations Tess and Dustin! :)

The first time they saw each other:

Family Time: Marie and Justin

I met Marie and Justin at Kordiak park in Columbia Heights to enjoy the beautiful weather and to take some photos.

Senior Pics: Stevie

Stevie and I had a great time running around and inside the Guthrie. I love shooting in this area and we even discovered some new, amazing spots (including the yellow room!). Stevie is a sweet heart and was a joy to take photos of.
