ASHLEY + BRENT (A MODERN, INDUSTRIAL WEDDING AT THE MACHINE SHOP IN MINNEAPOLIS)

What a pop of color this wedding was in the middle of my wedding season! Ashley and Brent’s wedding took place in July at the historic The Machine Shop in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. I love how modern yet full of character this venue is and how well suited it was for their day. Artemisia Studios brought the floral magic per usual with bouquets and table arrangements in hues of pink, orange, and white. Jennifer Brisson of Champagne & Lace coordinated the day beautifully and lead an epic room flip while guests drank cocktails and played yard games on the second floor. Some other personal favorites touches: the brass and gold details, blue accents, and Ashley’s show stopper open back Madison James dress.

MOLLY AND TOM (A ROSARIO BEACH ENGAGEMENT SESSION, WASHINGTON)

Photographing Molly and Tom at Rosario Beach in Anacortes, Washington was complete magic. Tom is deploying soon so we were limited in the timeframe for the session. Nonetheless, we found the golden light in early February and I’m still amazed how warm these photos look despite the windchill being in the 30s! Molly was a complete champ hiking the cliffs in her dress and I’m so glad she was because I’m obsessed with how the wind looks in the photos! It was my first time photographing at Rosario Beach and was happy to find so many easy to hike spots. We photographed for about two hours and were able to hit up so many locations within walking distance. I highly recommend this area if you live in the Seattle or Bellingham and are looking for a location to do your engagement photos!
