Lisa and Steven’s Engagement Session

Growing up just 15 miles from each other, Lisa and Steven met each other in high school, fell in love in college and next year will start a whole new life together. Their June 2012 wedding will take place in the heart of Minnesota lake country but I was lucky to photograph them where their hearts really belong, northeast North Dakota. We had a splendid time bopping around Lisa’s family’s farm near Forest River and I can’t wait for their wedding. Lisa and Steven, you are the sweetest couple ever!

Deb Kolling - Your pics are so beautiful! Love every one of them! You two are such a wonderful couple, and we are so excited for you!

The Spriggs Family!

There are just two things you need to know about the Spriggs family: The are the nicest people on the planet and they KNOW how to work a camera. It’s true.  I should also mention they have a super nice lake home on Lake Lizzie and I was a super lucky to photograph the whole family there in August. So, yes… photos…

The Devney Family

We had a wedding in the central part of North Dakota recently so I left a little early so I could stop in Bismarck and photograph the Devney family. Their home just outside of town was a perfectly simple backdrop for a great looking family with two super cute kiddos.

Trista + Brandon

What happens when you combine a little Minnesota nice with a whole lot of Texas charm? Well, y’all, pretty much the sweetest and most joyous wedding ever… don’t you know.

The romance of the Texan and the Minnesotan all started a few years ago when Brandon, a charming football player from the big state of Texas, and Trista, a spunky broadcasting major from the small town of Hawley, fell in love while students at MSUM. A few years (and a few of trips to Texas) later, the darling couple tied the knot on a gorgeous day in August.

I was fortunate to start off with the girls who were getting ready at Trista and Brandon’s home in south Moorhead. It was especially a treat to watch Trista apply her makeup while getting her hair done. She’s one talented lady!

Never a dull moment around this crew.

Oh, and how awesome is Trista?

Yep, awesome enough to remember to water her plants on her wedding day. No wonder her plants looked so good!

Meanwhile, in Fargo…

…Dave was documenting the Texas shenanigans.

We all met up at the Lutheran Church of the Good Shepherd in Moorhead where Trista anxiously waited to see her groom.

So sweet.

The celebration continued at the Ramada in Fargo.

Such a great day! Congratulations to you both!

Wedding Wednesday: Autumn Color Picks

I know it’s autumn when, all of a sudden, I have this undeniable urge to dig out all of my leggings and color tights from the deep dark corners of my “cold weather” storage. Today was that day for this autumn-loving photographer. Today’s choice? A pair of cute plum tights. So cozy. So purple. So autumn.

My awesome plum tights got me thinking about my favorite wedding colors for fall. Sure, burgundy, brown and orange are sensible choices for an autumn wedding, but (in my humble opinion) the following selections will add a little more color to a fall wedding while still staying true to this fabulous time of the year.

Plum (of course!):

Okay, guilty as charged: purple is my favorite color. I especially love deep dark purples with all their moody, feminine and classic characteristics. Check out this great wedding on 100 Layer Cake blog for more vintage plum inspiration.

Red Orange:

Not quite red. Not quite orange. It’s red orange! A modern combination with a vintage twist. I think we’ll see a lot more of this color in the coming years. I love this adorable handmade invitation by Paper Dolls.

Mustard:

Fall 2010 was the season of mustard, but I’m not ready to let it go. I say, we keep it around a few more seasons, what do you think?  I adore the grey-brown suit coat with the mustard tie (far left) and these cute shoes from Anthropologie (middle). Oh, and leave it to Martha for some yellow bouquet inspiration (far right). Bright and adorable!

So, yes, those are my color picks for Autumn 2011. What colors do you think are perfect for a fall wedding?
