Kay + Slade

If you spend any time around Kay and Slade you instantly understand why they are such a perfect match. They are two of the kindest, warm, and welcoming people, both bursting with joy and love for their family and friends. It makes sense that once their paths finally crossed it was an instant connection. Their wedding day reflected who they are through beauty, sentiment, emotion, celebration and laugher. As is often the case, it’s the little things that can tell you a lot. Even though we were surrounded by the beauty of the family vineyard in New Prague, St. Wenceslaus Church, and Brackett’s Crossing, it was the way Slade twirled both moms at the end of the isle, and the way Kay embraced everyone she saw and couldn’t stop smiling. It was moments like these and so many more that said it all. Get ready for some laughs and joyful tears! Congrats Kay and Slade!  To purchase the music used in this film please click here

Cameron + Kathryn

Cameron and Kathryn had such a beautiful summer wedding! There were vibrant colors, amazing flowers, a stunning bride, an out of this world reception, and so much more, but for me the most memorable moment in their wedding day was Cameron’s toast to his new bride. With just a few heartfelt words all the laughter, smiles, tears, subtle glances, and kisses that I had seen throughout the day suddenly came into crisp focus - I was capturing two best friends join their lives together! As Pastor Youngdahl of Mt Olivet perfectly put it, “This is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. This is the person I want to love, and to care for, and to create a future with.” There is so much more I want to say but you’ll just have to watch their film! Special thanks to Joan from Ambiente for coordinating a very special day, and to Todd of Bungalow 6 and Jackie from Just Bloomed for absolutely transforming International Market Square. Here's to yes yes, forever forever! To purchase the music used in this film please click here  

Radha + Surya

Radha and Surya had the most amazing Indian wedding at the Minneapolis Hilton. The mandap was one of the most beautiful I’ve seen. The incense, coconuts, flowers and all the colorful details that were a part of this celebration were stunning. Of course all of this beauty paled in comparison to Radha who was absolutely a vision and glowing all day. Surya (an Apple fanatic!) looked incredibly dapper between his two outfits as well. Two perfectionist coming together to make the perfect couple! Special thanks to Anna of Fete Perfection for coordinating such a magical day. As always I want to say more but their film tells the story much better than I could here. Congrats to a really special couple! Namaste. To purchase the music used in this film please click here  

Riley + Laura

Riley and Laura’s wedding had some of the most beautiful elements and details I’ve seen. From the glowing Vera Wang dress to the mouth-watering dessert room, everything couldn’t have been more perfect. However, as amazing as all of that was, the love of Riley and Laura stole the show. They couldn’t be a better match and every moment was filled with laughter and joy. Their family and friends were immersed in the celebration as well - even though for the father of the bride, “this is gonna take a while”. Thanks to Holin from Twirl Events everything from getting ready at the Brian Graham Salon, to the ceremony at St. Olaf Church, and the reception at The Depot was perfect. As always I have a million more moments I want to point out but I’d rather you see for yourself. Congratulations to an amazing couple! To purchase the music used in this film please click here

Michael + Emily

Wanna see two best friends get married?! Michael and Emily couldn’t be more perfect for each other and in LOVE. There are so many “little” and “in-between” moments where this shines through. It’s a hug that’s held a little longer, the way they look into each others eyes when talking, and so much more. Ok, I admit, sometimes I’m given to hyperbole, but there is just something about this couple, their friends and families, and their celebration of love overflowing with joy and beauty that gives me hope for the world. From the rehearsal dinner at Chambers, hair and makeup at the 526 Salon, brunch at Crave, the ceremony at  Church of the Nativity, and to the reception at Town and Country Club, everything couldn’t have been more perfect. I want to say so much more but considering this film has some of the best toasts I’ve ever captured, I’ll let it say for me. Enjoy! Oh, and “Michael loves Emily, Michael loves Emily, Michael loves Emily!!!” To purchase the music used in this film please click here  

Colleen + Andrew

It might be the beautiful natural light at the Calhoun Beach Club, the stunning bride, the music, the lavender, the overflowing joy of family and friends, etc, but there is just something ethereal and dream-like about this amazing couple and their wedding day. Although it was more impromptu than planned, after several years of already being in love and caring for each other, when asked if she “offered herself wholly and joyfully into this marriage, choosing Andrew as the person with whom will share your life, in laughter and in tears... will you stand by him in the triumphs and tragedies of life as a faithful and caring partner?” Colleen answered, “I will, and I do.” That couldn’t have been more perfect and fitting. There is so much more I love about this day and remarkable couple but their films says it better than I ever could. Congrats and Mazel Tov! Special thanks to Joan Nilsen of Ambiente for planning and coordinating such a special day! To purchase the music used in this film please click here   

Jess + Paul

To say Jess and Paul had an amazing wedding is to put it lightly. The ceremony and reception took place on the site of their future home on Lake Minnetonka. The location couldn’t have been more beautiful and fitting. Although their wedding day had it all, it was the love of this new family coming together that out-shined everything. Jess and Paul’s love radiated through every laugh, tear, dance, embrace, kiss, toasts, and explosion in the sky. Speaking to Paul the father of the bride said it best, “Your respect and caring comes through in living-color. Most simply stated, I love how you love her.” Thanks to Gretchen and her team at Rocket Science everything was perfect and went off without a hitch. I am so honored to have captured such a beautiful celebration! To purchase the music used in this film please click here   

Kevin + Lauren

Kevin and Lauren met in culinary school, and so of course had amazing food at their wedding. Footage of this, along with a beautiful sermon on the “ingredients” that make a good marriage, set the scene for a beautiful day and wedding film. Kevin and Lauren are individually both amazing people, but put them together and they light up even more. Lauren was either on the verge of joyful tears, or laughter all day. There is so much more I want to say but their film says it better than I ever could. Thanks to Mi Mi Design everything from Winston’s, Lake of the Isles Lutheran Church, and The Calhoun Beach Club was perfect and beautifully appointed. Congrats to a truly wonderful couple and although I’m not a chef myself I think you’re going to really enjoy what your about to watch. Bon appétit!

Alison + Greg

Alison and Greg’s film begins with one of my favorite opening lines as the Rabbi says “Each of you has said that you can’t wait to become a family, to experience everything that is yet to come, you do not have to wait any longer.” Family was a major element of the wedding weekend and was on display in the many hugs, laughs, tears, looks of love, and in some of the most touching toasts I’ve ever heard. Everything was simply perfect. From Vicks Dining, Hell’s Kitchen, The University Hotel, Bet Shalom, and the McNamara Alumni Center, every moment was filled with love and celebration for Alison and Greg and I was so honored to have captured it. Mazel Tov!

Stacie + Mike

As a dog/boxer lover and Apple fanatic myself, let’s just say working with Mike, Stacie, and Mali was beyond amazing. I knew their wedding was going to be special, and a blast to capture from the start, but I didn’t realize how moving and love-filled it was going to be. So often a theme naturally emerges during the filming of the wedding day and then really becomes apparent during the editing and production process. Without a doubt, the theme and take away from this film is joy! Everyone and everything at the Depot Minneapolis couldn’t have been more beautiful! There are so many amazing moments in this film from boxer kisses, a flower girl rap, a birds and the bees recap, and so much more. Congrats to a truly wonderful couple!
