Love always comes when you least expect it and for Josh and Olivia that was exactly the case. The nurse who was enjoying life did not expect to meet the 911 dispatcher, but it was just the way these two met one another when Josh asked Olivia to Cat Coffee. They ended up talking until the shop closed and both knew that this would be something more than just a coffee date.
After dating for four years, July 31st came around and Josh knew that it was the day to propose. Because the two love taking photos of their adventures together, Josh put together a grouping of Polariad’s taken from the dates the two had gone on together through the years and used them as clues to get Olivia on the scavenger hunt of her life. He started with the first clue at the couples parents homes. The second clue was at Cat Cafe. The third at United Hospital where they both work, and the last and final clue brought Olivia to an airport in Crystal. The couple jumped on a plane, and flew to Duluth where Olivia’s aunt (who was working closely with Josh on the proposal) set up a beautiful picnic inside Enger Park in Duluth. When the couple arrived, Josh got down on one knee and asked Olivia to marry him!
Olivia and Josh really wanted a winter wedding and because of that knew that their wedding day would look a little different because of Covid restrictions. They decided to do a small and intimate wedding with only family and a few friends present. They rented a beautiful VRBO in Red Wing and were wed in a small white church in the country on one of the coldest day’s of the year.
It was beautiful day for a wedding and both Josh and Olivia were so easy going and went back in forth inside and out, even though the temps were below freezing. We were able to capture so much of this historic Red Wing site with its beauty and grace. Olivia’s bridesmaids, all family, wore dusty blue dresses and carried sprigs of green, white and blue in their bouquets while Olivia wore a simple white dress with capped sleeves and a lace back.
Josh and Olivia, thank you for including me in your day. It was beautiful, congratulations!
Katie Nick’s June wedding at Seven Vines Vineyard was the perfect blend of timeless elegance and joyful celebration. From the classic black-and-white wedding party attire to the dreamy golden hour portraits among the vines, every detail felt effortlessly sophisticated.
Surrounded by their favorite people and endless love, these two kicked off married life in the most beautiful way.
Baby Mary has arrived and is already so deeply loved by Nicole and Aaron.
I’ve had the true honor of photographing this family since their oldest was born over 16 years ago, and watching their story grow through each new season has been something really special. From newborn snuggles to busy, full family life being invited back again and again is something I never take for granted.
This family is deeply rooted in the world of forage, county fairs, and raising and showing lambs and sheep, so it only felt fitting to include a little lamb hat for baby Mary’s first photos. A small nod to a big part of their life and traditions.
Rob and Sarah’s wedding day was a beautiful blend of faith, family, and thoughtful design. Inspired by Monet’s garden paintings, their celebration was filled with soft spring colors, meaningful heirlooms, and intentional details at every turn.
After a joyful ceremony at Eagle Brook Church, surrounded by family and friends, they celebrated the night away at Silverwood Park with beautiful florals, heartfelt speeches, lakeside portraits, and dancing.
One of my favorite details? Sarah changed into her mother’s wedding dress for the reception, while flowers made from that same gown were sewn into her veil.
Welcome, to the world sweet Julia! It was such a blessing to see Travis, Marisa, and Jalen again! What joy Julia has brought to this family! Congratulations!!
