Megan + Ryan : Engaged!

I am so glad that the weather man was wrong for the day I got together with Megan and Ryan for their engagement shoot. We had already rescheduled once for rain and the forecast was 70% chance of thunderstorms. But luck was on our side and the weather changed bringing the most beautiful summer evening for our shoot. Just proves that the weather is one thing you just can’t control.

Megan & Ryan are such a sweet couple. They were engaged by the Buckingham Fountain in Chicago, so we visited the fountain in Rice Park in St. Paul to echo their engagement setting. We visited a variety of spots in St. Paul and had such a nice time getting to know each other better. Great locations, great light, great couple.

I am so excited to document Megan & Ryan’s wedding in September!

Sarah + Zach : Madly in Modern Love

I have been so excited to document Sarah & Zach’s wedding since their awesome engagement shoot last summer. They are such a sweet and relaxed couple.  Their wedding was a perfect reflection of their laid back yet modern and sophisticated style

Sarah and Zach were married in the amazing courtyard of the Mill City Museum in a ceremony that combined Jewish and Christian traditions. The Mill City Museum location was very fitting since Sarah works in marketing at General Mills, and previously worked on the Gold Medal Flour brand!

I was so honored to shoot alongside the very talented cinema team from Capture Studios. I just love their work and shooting with them was such a treat!

Congrats Sarah and Zach! Such an honor to document your perfect summer wedding.

Megan + Mike : Sweet Summer Soiree

I met Megan in my high school sophomore home room. I thought she was so cool because she had just moved back to the States from living in Saudi Arabia. We became fast friends, went off to college together at Loyola University, and were roommates in Chicago senior year. She has been a constant for more than half of my life. She is one of those people that is so good at staying in touch, keeping people connected.

And she was such a gorgeous bride. I was so honored to document her beautiful wedding to Mike in Des Moines, Iowa.

Megan and Mike were married at St. Theresa’s Catholic Church followed by a lovely summer evening reception at The Fort Des Moines Museum. Their vibrant color pallate of summer green and bright orange were carried through all of their elements with a modern motif of circles and M+M monogram.

It was such a fun weekend, a great reunion of high school and college friends. Two past Red Ribbon Studio brides (and wonderful friends of mine, Valerie and Francesca, check out my past blog posts on their weddings by clicking on their names) were bridesmaids.

Congrats Megan and Mike. I wish you a lifetime of joy together.

Megan - No one could have captured the day like you did! I’m in love with these – a perfect reminder of our perfect day! Thank you my dear friend!

Debra + Alex : Stop Motion Save The Date

While brainstorming ideas with Debra and Alex for their engagement shoot, they said they wanted to incorporate a wintery elements into their shoot as they are getting married in December.

I have recently been very inspired by some stop motion films, namely the Amazon Kindle commercials and Her Morning Elegance. So I proposed we do a stop motion film with a winter theme.

We had a blast shooting it at my studio. Thanks to my very talented photographer friend Erica Loeks for the production help for the shoot (she tossed and tossed and tossed all of that snow/white confetti, gave the scarf a mind of it’s own and placed each heart with care so they would flutter up the scene just right).

Debra and Alex, I am so excited to photograph your wedding in December. Thank you for indulging me in this creative stop motion adventure. I learned so much from the project, and had so much fun along the way.

Debra + Alex : Engaged!

I am so excited to photograph Debra and Alex’s winter wedding this December. They are an amazing couple, so sweet to and supportive of each other.

For their engagement shoot, the weather gods were smiling on us, as the forecast was for a 70% chance of rain. Instead we had the perfect evening to shoot at some great locations around Minneapolis. Debra & Alex love the theater, so we shot in front of the Orpheum, I just love graphic element of the marquee lights behind them. We also visited a vibrant graffiti wall in the warehouse district, Lake Calhoun (they walked around it on their first date!), and finished with a drink at Cafe Lurcat.

Stay tuned for another blog post soon with part two of their engagement shoot, in stop-motion!
