{Anxious} 2nd Sneak Peek

No point in giving Peyton a hard time about his lack of patience. I already did that on my personal blog. I totally get why he is. I too would want to see what I have coming to me. He and Alicia have been anxiously waiting to see more shots of their adorable London so before I pop the disc. of their session in the mail I wanted to tease them with a 2nd sneak peek. I hope you guys enjoy them. All your shots were great!

Mrs. and Mr.

Prepare yourselves! This is by far the most images I have ever posted to one blog post! How could I not though?

Meet Bennette and Jocelyn Whitsell, formally Jocelyn Brown. Jocelyn is a close friend of Jeremy and mine and a fellow photographer so that would explain the massive amounts of photography you see below. It was an honor to be Jocelyn and Bennette's photographer for their big day. It is a complement that she accepted my request (I really threw myself at her) to let me shoot her wedding. I wanted to give her a gift that would last forever because Ryan, Jocelyn's twin brother has given Jeremy the gift of a best friend for almost a lifetime.

So the wedding... It was like a wonderland! Simple, natural, nothing forced about it. The theme, well sweet summer is how I would describe it. Wood fired pizza, mason jars, jam, bold patterns and colors, string lights, pompoms, beverages, lemons, more beverages, dancing all night and on and on. Jocelyn is by far one of the most creative people I know so no wonder her wedding was perfectly thought through and executed just the way she envisioned it!

Congrats to the two of you. The wedding was wonderful, the wedding party was a blast, the celebration was even better! Enjoy your sneak peek. It may take a year to get through all the editing but you will get your images. I promise!!!

Whitsell Wedding Day Details

Martha doesn't have anything on Jocelyn. This bride pulled out all the stops and did most all the work herself and definetly saw and created her vision successfully! From homemade jam as a take home thank you to her guests, to the linens with pattern and color so bold and so perfect. Oh, and the strings of lights, pompoms, drinks served in mason jars, to the most perfectly me (and I guess her because she too is a photog) Polaroid phootboth with funny hats, glasses and noses. Those Polaroids now have become her guest book. Adorable cupcakes instead of wedding cake... I could go on! The entire wedding was simply simple, tied together and so summertime sweet!

I Do... Again!

Meet Justin and Cassie Stolmeier and their adorable little one! Justin is a long time childhood friend of Jeremy's who I have not seen in at least 8 years. So when Justin sent me an email asking if I would be interested in helping him out by photographing a little event he and his wife had planned I reworked my schedule to make it happen.

Last week they celebrated their 4th wedding anniversary by renewing their vows. It was a cute little ceremony that was totally relaxed followed by a fun reception and pictures at Dry Soda down in Pioneer Square. Thanks you too for asking me to be a part of your day. It was fun!

Enjoy your sneak peek. More to follow in a few weeks. I am drowning in sessions to edit!

The Strovas Family

This sneak peek has taken entirely too long for me to post. The momma of these four has been waiting patiently for a glimpse of what these trouble makers helped me to create. To be honest I thought I had maybe a few good shots but nothing special as I left the shoot. I mean really, how can I capture a great image with four kids, one of which a 1 year old... goes without explanation, 2 of which are boys that just want to play (go figure), and then their was the oldest girl, who was able to take direction and to know surprise she knew she needed to smile and look when we would say cheese? Really these four were fun, full of energy, needed to be bribed like all kids, and each had a unique personality which shows in each image!

Well to my surprise there were a ton of great shots which is why I am not done editing yet. However the sneak peek has to happen so here it is. Enjoy these four, they will wear you out in a good way! Thanks Karissa for your patience, hope they are worth the wait!

{Married} Mr. and Mrs. Sherel's

Meet the newlyweds... Mr. and Mrs. Michael and Emily Sherels! This is just a sneak peek of only a few of the great shots from their beautiful wedding that was held last night in Prior Lake, MN. The ceremony was wonderful and the reception was a blast. It was a night of non stop entertainment. These former Gopher's know how to throw a party... go figure! Congrats to you both. Enjoy the sneak peek of what is to come.
