Are you ALIVE? I love SHOOTING PEOPLE with a camera, click.  I love wine, good music (I stay far away from the "Top 40"), great art and LIFE.  In fact, I love life so much that it compels me capture it professionally with a camera, but if you stick around you might catch me catching life with video and audio as well.

This brings me to the most important question that I have for you:  Are you ALIVE, not just breathing and eating, but LIVING?  

If you answered YES, we should talk, I want to capture it (your life that is).  If you're just an eater and breather, give LIVING a shot, we'll all be dead soon enough.

Preston and Aimee decided that we needed to completely rock out Aimee's Grandpa's farm the day after their wedding and I think we were successful!   

Aimee and Preston just trusted me with complete creative freedom on their After-Shoot and we captured some seriously awesome images.

I hope you enjoy them...

Aimee is an up and coming photographer herself so shooting her wedding and after-shoot (coming soon) were great!  Every time I go to a wedding I am always amazed by the family and friends that all of my couples are graced with, they are indeed a blessing.

You may call Aimee and Preston's engagement session earlier this summer.

J Amelias Salon - Pequot Lakes
Timberwood Chuch - Nisswa
Mayson's Grille - Pequot Lakes
Lime Greenery - Pequot Lakes
Social Butterfly - Baxter

My day started with the ladies getting ready at J Amelia's Salon in Pequot Lakes.  If you are getting married in the area I would strongly recommend stopping in to visit with Joanie.

Just found your blog and especially enjoy the way that you captured "moments" during the day - from goofy to sweet to fun to happy. Thanks for sharing.

I was introduced to Jeri and Mike through one of Jeri's good friend's who just happens to be the awesome wedding coordinator at my two favorite wedding and reception locations in the Crosslake Area: Manhattan Beach Lodge and Whitefish Lodge.

Then I show up to photography their engagement session to find my favorite florist, Sarah from Lime Greenery, there because she's good friend with Jeri as well!  Great way to start a session.

Our session started at Moonlite Bay where Mike and Jeri both work and where their reception will be held.

Show us the freekin' pictures already!

Keane and Andrea are getting married in MEXICO...    that's pretty much awesome if you ask me.   I first met Andrea and Keane when they drove down from Walker, MN on beautiful Leach Lake to shoot their engagement session in Brainerd.

We started by wondering downtown Brainerd, then heading to Cragun's Legacy Golf Course to finish.

Enjoy....
