Ilse + Eugene held their wedding day at the Aster Cafe in Minneapolis. They started their preparation in the Redford Room upstairs above the Aster.

Como Park Sunken Garden Wedding Photography
Tara + Matt’s wedding day started out a bit drizzly. Luckily, it didn’t last long. Once they held their first look in the Sunken Garden, the rain was over so we could make it outside for pre-ceremony photos of them and their families and wedding party. Everything was so beautiful!
Their wedding ceremony was held in St Paul’s Como Conservatory Sunken Garden. (I love the Conservatory so much, I got married there myself!) By the time their ceremony was over, we were able to capture some photos of the two of them in the Sunken Garden alone during sunset ..read more

I was so excited to work with Rachel + Jimbo for their big day. Their plans included both the Bell Museum as well as Can Can Wonderland – two of my favorites! They both loved and were involved in the earth sciences, which made the Bell Museum significant to them. They also loved games, so Can Can Wonderland was another natural fit. So much fun!
They prepared for their big day at a nearby hotel. Once ready, we headed back to the Bell Museum for their first look and couple/group portraits. It was fun running around the Bell Museum for fun photos with the wooly mam ..read more
