Laura and Colin :: Fall engagement

I walked in and KNEW, just *knew* that it would not only be a rad time at the engagement session, but also their amazing winter-filled February wedding that they are planning in St. Paul! :) Their easy-going spirit and super sweet smiles are what make their photos just perfect and full of life! :)

I can’t wait to see you guys again in February! :) Praying for a fresh blanket of snow to make the photos just magical and very St. Paul wintery! :)

November 30, 2011 : Engagements

A day in the life of Jessica and Nick!

All three of us sat on the couch in my living room drumming up ideas and getting louder and louder with excitement as each idea came to mind! Nick and Jessica are fun-loving people that grab life by the horns and LIVE! They wanted an engagement session that wasn’t “posed” or stale…they wanted something fun and “THEM”….so, why not? Why not do a mini-day-in-the-life-of Jessica and Nick (well, afternoon-in-the-life-of actually! :) They loved to cook, they loved to laugh, they loved to read, they loved their dog, they loved Jess’s Vegan home-made dishes, they loved to go for walks, and they loved coffee. All things they would normally do on a Sunday afternoon…so why, not shoot that! :) YAY!

I met Jess and Nick at their ADORABLE apartment in Minneapolis and we hit the ground running, along with their newly adopted pup! It was one of those engagement sessions that I walked away with a HUGE SMILE when we were done…..I really, REALLY couldn’t wait to chat more about their wedding, get to know their details and spend an entire day next November with them as they become husband and wife! You don’t meet people like Nick and Jessica too often! They are honest, down-to-earth, truth-living people that you just want to be around….gosh, November 3rd can’t come fast enough! :)

Enjoy friends! :)

Hello!

My name is Emily and I am an artist; WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER by day and FABRIC ARTIST by night. Here, you can follow my creative journey and perpetually see what I'm up to! I try to infuse joy in everything I do; from sewing to knitting and photography! You’ll generally see a giant smile on my face because I am overjoyed about living the life where the dreams that I once doodled about are coming true! I'm a midwestern girl that loves people, my sewing machine, our two pugs Edward and Gweneth and every flavor of ice cream (you can even bribe me with it at times! :)

I'd love to hear from you, so feel free to contact me at any time! :)
