Beautiful Fall Wedding | October in Minnesota Russian Orthodox Wedding Photographer
We met up in the freezing rain at Itasca State Park to take the wedding photos for this beautiful bride & groom.
The weather was pretty predictable for a fall wedding in MN, and didn’t pose a threat at all to these brave Minnesotans!
I hope you enjoy the photographs that capture just a sliver of the love these two sweethearts have for each other.
Her dimple radiates joy, and the way he gazes at her proves he is absolutely smitten…
I hope you enjoyed looking through these as much as I enjoyed taking them!

Family Fall Photography | Fabulous Finding Fun and Full Foliage For Fotos. (or something like that)
The colors of Autumn are in full swing here in Northern MN. So, we had this family over to Grace Lake, near Cass Lake, MN to take some family photos near the lake. We got some pops of red, orange, yellow, green, and brown. They meandered from the hill with pines down to the narrow sandy beach on Grace Lake. It was the perfect setting for an afternoon photo session.
Here’s one quick one from this good day!

J + C Outdoor Vintage Chic October Wedding, Milaca | Cass Lake MN Wedding Photographer
Cara + Joel’s Wedding SNEAK PEEK.
After a blustery morning, this October 4th wedding was beautiful! The Bride had done so many of the “little things” in the past several months, and each touch was spectacular. This outdoor wedding would have been much colder, but couldn’t have been more perfect. Cara and Joel had a wonderful group of family and friends to celebrate with them at Joel’s family’s home near the Rum River in Milaca.
The lights! The sweet bride herself made sure the tent was strung beautifully, the trees lit magically, and sparklers to send them off were just splendid!
The food! Yuuuuuuummmmm. Boy, I am starting to consider just going to weddings for the food. Summer harvest vegetables, creamy mashed potatoes & gravy, pulled pork and His and Hers BBQ Sauce. That’s not to mention the spectacular and delicious desserts! Cupcakes, lemon bars, candy, cookies. Coffee and Tea, Hot Chocolate. This all was after the wedding. Beforehand, as guests arrived, they were set to make their own tin buckets (table markers on the bottom) of Trail Mix! How fun!
The Music!!! Joel Hansen played all the music on the BEAUTIFUL hand-made-by-the-groom-guitar, and sang.
The Love! What a fun day celebrating a marriage of long-time friends.
I am so thankful I was able to be a part of their special day!
M Family Mini Session | MN Family Photographer Christmas Portraits
Back in November, I had the opportunity to photograph this sharp looking family for their Christmas Card picture in a Christmas Mini Session. What fun! We were playing around with ornaments and Christmas decorations in front of my mom’s log cabin fireplace. It was SOOOOOOOOOOO cold out though, so we rushed around and snapped some keepers in front of a stand of pines. 🙂
Kaya Wedding Part 3: Big Picture {a glimpse of it all} | Bemidji, MN Wedding Photographer
Kaya Wedding Part Two: White | Itasca State Park, Mississippi River Photographer, Bemidji MN
Remember these lovely newlyweds? They were married in September and had their formal portraits taken at Itasca State Park. The leaves were perfectly golden, the grass still green, the roads cluttered with fallen leaves, while the trees stood firm. It was a cold and misty day, but it was beautiful, nonetheless.
Mr. & Mrs. Kaya were fun to work with, and got more and more comfortable in front of the lens as the hours passed. I am so grateful to have shot this wedding. It was just stunning to see the lovely hand-made bridal head piece that Christina wore. She was the most stunning bride with the long ribbons, pearls, and lace cascading down her back. They trailed over buttons from her dress and stood out in their soft peachy highlights against her delicate dress.
