THE PROPOSAL
Gentlemen, you put a lot of work into planning the big pop of the question. In a few years when you're in the doghouse for something and it's definitely deserved, you can pull up this work of art showing what a romantic and spontaneous spouse you are :) I can capture the location scouting all the way to getting down on that knee.
Here's some examples of how this can go down.

Matt saw that Savannah (@savvyphotage) was doing a couples shoot giveaway on Insta and knew what he had to do, so he reached out and got scheming. Tessa didn't win the giveaway, but she didn't know that when Sav posted she was the winner :) So in ZERO DEGREE weather, we all traipsed into Minneapolis to capture this crazy surprise. And well, you can see how it went.
Kyle is my marketing guru and has become a great friend beyond our work relationship. I knew he and Ali were going steady, but I was rocked when he asked me to capture their proposal. In Ireland. On the Cliffs of Moher. I was the ringbearer and everything, scouting spots in the days prior and nearly blowing away in 80mph winds the day before. But by God's unpredictable grace, the wind settled for the day of reckoning and it all went off without a hitch. And then they got hitched. And I got to capture that too :)

So this one's cheating a bit, Jered had already proposed at this point (which he did at a fashion show on the runway-- so classy!) but we wanted to give them a little extra coverage. Look at them, I mean? So we headed up to Black Beach on this very dreary day and made the best of the moodiness. It was a success.
Brady and Caiti's sister were the masterminds behind this one. They set up a "sister shoot" with a hidden agenda in Theodore Wirth Park and the results were... unexpected- to say the least. Caiti's reaction sums it up pretty well. Then we walked around laughing for about an hour, Caiti still in disbelief and Brady knowing he did a goood job.

Bree & Will flew me to Vail for their day.
It was one of the first weddings I got to use my new Leica, and I was so stoked to get that crispy 10bit color in the mountains just when the aspens were turning gold. I was pleased with the results. Mackenzie (Mackro Photography) was ultra chill and so fun to shoot with on their day too.
When Megan & Andrew told me they were getting married on an island in Wisconsin I was blown away. What right do I have shooting a wedding on a mystical wondrous island in the middle of a lake? Needless to say, I had way more footage than I knew what to do with from this magical, albeit rainy, day.

Brittany & Chris had THE BEST valley for their first look. Becca & Nick (Travelfor2Photography) know all the best spot in the parks and nailed this one. I hadn't been to Estes Park before and it did not disappoint. and the freedom in our schedule to get b-roll and run around all the crazy beautiful spots.
Carly & Hayden are incredibly kind, gentle, and patient people. I was so at peace shooting their day, getting to know them, and weaving their film together. When you have a ceremony nestled in those dense Norway Pines, it really gets the people going. The smell of the resin in the air alone is an instant "this was worth it" reminder.

Karlie and Matt told me they were both awkward and uncomfy in front of a camera-- that couldn't be farther from the truth. We had an absolute blast running around Minneapolis and by the end of the night I think they both were comfortable enough to start their careers in film :) It helps that they're just bright, extremely fun people too.
Authentic. That's this couple. Both with such classy old souls, Ema & Michael put together a beautiful day at the Semple Mansion. Their families were a hoot, little kids running around were a joy, and the light on this crisp fall day-- well you can see that for yourself.

Madi & Nick were giggling all day. Grandma was cracking inappropriate jokes, playing flip cup, and looking on with pride as her granddaughter tied the knot. The leaves had turned, the smiles were contagious, and I was again reminded why this is important work.
Two ceremonies. Two hearts. Too epic. Sarah & Michael pulled out all the stops for their dream day, despite the 'Rona, and made the best of the situation. And I mean the best, like, it was incredible. I felt so spoiled being able to have fun with them all day and record such a special heirloom for their families. And the priest's voice?
Come on.
