Veda And Joe
Engagement and couples sessions are some of my favorite sessions to photograph. But they are extra special when couples decide to include their kids in these sessions as well. I had so much fun photography Veda and Joe at God’s Acres in Battle Lake. I had never been here before but it is the cutest little park connected to Zion Lutheran Church. It was the perfect location for this family because one I was finished photographing the family the kiddos got to go play on the playground so that I could photography their parents for a little bit. I loved getting to explore this new location and finding some beautiful spots for photos.
Luke and Serah
As a wedding photographer, I get to work with a range of couples and personalities. It is such a treat getting to work with couples that are so giggling, joyful and in love. Luke and Serah were so much fun to get to know and run around in a field at sunset with. Being around them was so inspiring and I left their session so excited to get to document their engagement pictures as well as their wedding coming up in February. Everyone deserves a love like these two, and during their session I could just feel the amount of love these two have for each other.

Book Your Engagement Session With your Wedding Photographer
Booking your engagement pictures session with your photographer is a must-do before your wedding day. It's a chance for you and your fiancé to get comfortable in front of the camera, and for your photographer to learn your personalities, style, and how to make you both look your best. It's also a great opportunity to get to know your photographer before your wedding day and you can find out if you even like your photographers shooting style and posing. Plus, engagement pictures make for great keepsakes and can be used for save-the-dates, reception displays, and as gifts for family and friends. Overall, booking your engagement session with your photographer paves the way for a stress-free and enjoyable wedding day and provides cherished memories for years to come.
Wedding Timelines
When it comes to planning a wedding, timeline building is a crucial aspect that requires careful consideration. A wedding timeline is a detailed schedule that outlines all the key events and activities that will occur on the big day. It is essential to create a comprehensive timeline in advance to ensure that everything runs smoothly and on time. A good wedding timeline takes into account everything from hair and makeup to photography and reception details. It is important to allow adequate time for each activity and build in some buffer time for unexpected delays or issues. Having a great wedding timeline can really help you keep your day running smoothly!
