Brainerd Lakes Wedding Photographer | Authentic Love Stories
Creating Natural, Timeless Wedding Photography at Grand View Lodge, Cragun's Resort & Beyond
You know that feeling of awkwardness when someone pulls out a camera? The stiff poses, the forced smiles, the "what do I do with my hands" moment?
Yeah, that's not us.
Instead, imagine your wedding photos feeling as natural as your love story. Where real laughter replaces posed smiles, and genuine moments trump perfect positioning.
Because twenty years from now, you deserve to look back at photos that feel exactly like you.
Your Love Story Deserves to Be Told Authentically
I hear these worries from almost every couple:
Can We Get Real for a Minute?
→ This is exactly why I work the way I do. You'll be too busy enjoying your day to notice I'm capturing it all.
"We hate the idea of our wedding feeling like a photoshoot"
→ Trust me, everyone says this. But my couples always end up having fun and looking natural. Why? Because I give you something to do besides just stand there and smile.
"We're awkward in front of the camera"
→ We'll get both. I'm a ninja at capturing those spontaneous moments while also efficiently handling the must-have formal shots.
"We want candid photos, but also need the family formals"
→ As your resident Type-A photographer (with backup plans for my backup plans), I'll help craft a timeline that actually works. And when things inevitably shift? We'll roll with it together.
"What if our timeline runs behind?"

Let's be real - wedding photos shouldn't feel like another task on your to-do list. You deserve someone who's not just clicking a camera, but someone who's living those moments right alongside you. Someone who's ready with a tissue for happy tears, knows how to bustle a dress in an emergency, and might just hit the dance floor (camera in hand) when your favorite song comes on.
I'm that photographer who shows up with backup plans, an emergency kit that could survive the apocalypse, and enough energy to keep everyone laughing through family photos. While you're soaking in every amazing moment of your day, I'm there catching all those real, unscripted moments - from your best friend's emotional toast to your grandparents' secret dance moves.
Because your wedding photos should feel as authentic as your love story - full of real laughter, genuine joy, and maybe a few happy tears along the way.
The secret? Having a hype girl with a camera.
