The day couldn’t have been more perfect. After months of planning, Lori’s winter wonderland wedding had come. A slight dusting of snow covered the ground in white in the morning and as the day progressed, it let up to be a spectacular afternoon to shoot in. Doug and Lori are a couple full of laughs, love and a shared passion for Twins baseball. They hold season tickets to all the games and early last spring Doug took Lori to a quiet undisturbed area of the stadium and got down on one knee to pop the question. The baseball theme was carried on through the planning stages with a save the date baseball card and a cake topper and Twins themed garter. I had a fabulous time working with this group, thank you Lori and Doug for allowing me to be a part of your day!
Karen, you are amazing! These pictures are incredible, thank you so much for capturing it for us.
The winter wonderland wedding that she had wanted had arrived and it was absolutely beautiful. The morning was filled with light snow which tapered off until the afternoon to bring a warm glowing sunny day. Doug and Lori planned it perfectly and had some great vendors to help that day.
Lori’s dress was fabulous on her and from a great little dress shop in Rodgers called The Little Bridal Shop.
Flowers for the day were done by Maureen Debruyn of Debruyn Designs.
Lori and Doug love the Twins and when she showed me her garter I knew Doug would get a kick out of them!
The Shane Copmany created three beautiful rings for the couple.
Loris hair and make up were done by Smart and Chic Bride
Necklaces and earrings were from The Icing by Claire’s
The beautiful ceremony was held at Advent Lutheran Church in Maple Grove.
And the snowflake pins were from a great little boutique called DaisyDays.com
Lori and her mom created their own invites, place cards, favors, and programs with paper from the Paper Depot.
Sparklers from SparklersUSA.com lined the outside of the church and the couple got away to the Crown Plaza in Plymouth in one of Renee’s Limo’s.
I just loved this one of the kids at the reception with their glow sticks. They were having a blast with them!
Love the Minnesota Twins garter!
I had a great weekend seeing old friends. Here is a sneak from Lori and Doug’s winter wedding.
“Amazing” was the word that he almost whispered as he saw her for the first time, she giggled and grinned with her amazing dimples. “Do you think so?”
I felt like I should slither into a hole just so they could take the moment in together without the snaps going on in the background. Carrie and Michael’s entire wedding day was a day of respect and joy. The richness of their love emanated toward friends and family. The two were introduced by mutual high school friends and a friendship formed and over the course of time developed into a love for one another. I was blessed to be a part of their very intimate ceremony and capture some unforgettable moments at their reception. Thank you Carrie and Michael for allowing me to be a part of your day, I wish you a life time of happiness together.
Karen – I can’t believe how beautifully you captured the day. Thank you so much!!
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.
Welcome to the world, sweet girl
Spring soirée perfection.
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.
Congratulations, Rob and Sarah!
