A Perfect Day — Minneapolis/St Paul Wedding Photographer

Last Saturday morning I was woken up abruptly around 5am by thunder and the pouring rain. Not good when there is a wedding to photograph that day!! As luck would have it the skies cleared just as the bride was dressed and we were ready to take “first look” photos. Here are some of my favorites from last Saturday. Congratulations Molly and Dean!

Special thanks to KEA Photography for allowing me to be part of the day!

Every once in awhile I am able to witness a wedding with so many special and unique touches that the love of the day? I can literally feel it as I photograph. Last night was one of those nights.

It all began with a chance meeting at a bookclub and culminated last night with an intimate ceremony and reception at The Happy Gnome in Saint Paul. No detail was overlooked–from the books at every place setting, to the guest serenade of The Beatles tune “I Want To Hold Your Hand” as the bride and groom walked down the aisle. It was an evening full of warmth, charm, and character. And love. Lots and lots of love. Cristina and Jason, thank you for choosing me to be a part of your special day. Congratulations and best wishes for a long and happy future together!

Nate and Linsey : Saint Paul College Club Wedding

She was leaving a party and was supposed to turn right, but instead she turned left. His truck was parked in that direction and she had a question she wanted to ask him. Was he single? (Yes.) Would he like to go out some—Yes! He answered before she could even finish her sentence. And so it began for Nate and Linsey….

The next night was their first date, with her family. HER FAMILY. And it couldn’t have gone better. They knew, that first night, that they had something really good. They stayed up all night talking. Sharing the stories of past relationships, of who they are, who they hoped to be. Turned out they both were caretakers, “fixers,” the first person who calls when a friend is in need. Both of them never thought they would find someone that would treat them like they treated others, in fact both of them were pretty sure they would end up on their own. But that was not to be. Turns out life is a lot easier with a partner. In Linsey’s first email to me she ended it with a simple phrase, “We are so lucky we found each other.”

Nate and Linsey—you two make me smile. Big. I was incredibly honored to document your wedding in St Paul, and be part of an event that was so full of laughter and fun it was easy to forget I wasn’t part of the family. Thank you for giving me the opportunity, and thank you bringing your hearts to the whole process. It was beautiful, you all were beautiful. Much Love — Heather

I had the opportunity to assist a local photographer with a wedding this past weekend, and I have to say I had so much fun I hardly felt like I was working at all! The day whizzed by, everyone was happy and beautiful, and I swear I was smiling as much as the wedding party!

Here are some of my favorite shots from their day.

This whole experience was amazing. I can hardly wait to do it again!
