I'm here for the raw, messy kinda love stories. If your hiking boots have put on several miles, you don't mind getting your dress a little bit dirty, and you feel best up in the mountains or deep in the pines, I'm your gal.
From Minnesota's North Shore to the Pacific Northwest, and everywhere in between... I can't wait to document your love story.
My work is inspired by the moments that deserve to be savored. I want my photos to evoke emotion and help my couples relive life's most cherished moments... sipping coffee cuddled up in a canoe as the sun rises above the horizon, off-roading through the forest with the windows rolled down, the wind in your hair, the scent of pine trees when hiking, exchanging vows on the cliffside of Lake Superior, exploring a hidden waterfall, dancing under the moon and stars. (I could go on and on...)
This day is yours to fill with what you love most. Throw the wedding "rule" book out the window, friend. It's up to you on how you spend it.
