SARAH & RYAN | MINNEAPOLIS ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHY

July 5, 2012

What’s not to love about Sarah & Ryan? They are the sweetest duo and I couldn’t stop laughing during their engagement session. Sarah is so full of life and her smile is truly contagious. She and Ryan complement each other perfectly.  We incorporated one of their favorite activities, biking, into their session. I was in love with their duo red, Scwhinn cruisers. Makes me want to add a cruiser to my bike collection (which only currently contains a road bike, albeit, a fantastic road bike!). Thank you for the amazing time!  Can’t wait for your big day, you two!

SARAH & ALLEN | GRAND VELAS & PLAYA DEL CARMEN

June 27, 2012

I just wanted to share a few more images from Sarah & Allen’s destination wedding in the Riviera Maya, Mexico! These images were captured around the resort and during short trip we made to Playa Del Carmen for Sarah & Allen’s Just Married session. It rained the evening of the session, but we managed to capture a few images between the torrential downpours! I also grabbed random shots of the gorgeous resort throughout the trip. I have to give a big, big thank you to my mother, who has been my destination-wedding-partner-in-crime for my last couple Mexico weddings. My hubby is saving his PTO for a trip we’ll be making to Bulgaria and France this fall (hooray!!), so my mom accompanied me to Mexico and we had a few fun girl’s days after the wedding, spa visits included.

All images captured on Fuji 400H, Contax 645 or Canon 1v.

Laura - Thank you ladies!! :) Trisha, this was at Grand Velas Riviera Maya, just a few resorts down from El Dorado Royale! :) It was beautiful! Much different than El Dorado, but just as awesome.

Joe - Knowing what you used to make these images makes them all that much more impressive. Great work….

Sarah Wu - I agree with Joe, knowing these are film shots just make it more impressive. I love the one with us in front of the green backdrop.

SARAH & ALLEN | MEXICO DESTINATION WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

June 26, 2012

There is something so special about a destination wedding. It’s different than a typical wedding because the setting is usually more intimate and I really get to know the closest family and friends of the bride and groom. I got to spend several days with Sarah & Allen and their guests and I had so much fun. I especially love Sarah. Allen is great too (!!) but Sarah and are two of a kind. I think if I were to redo my own wedding, it would pretty much look like Sarah & Allen’s. I happen to think Sarah has exquisite taste! :) Sarah is a really talented graphic designer and designed all the stationery and planned all the gorgeous details for this celebration. She even bought a letterpress and handmade the invitations and menus along with her dedicated friends. Not to be overshadowed by the details, this wedding was even more so a celebration of Sarah & Allen finally making it to the altar. She and Allen have been together for nearly 10 years, so the wedding just further confirmed the commitment they’ve made to each other years ago. Allen surprised everyone by getting very emotional while reciting his personally written vows to Sarah. It was a beautiful moment!

Sarah & Allen, thank you for inviting me to celebrate with you.
