Eclectic Wedding Photography for People In Love
Modern documentary wedding photography for Minneapolis and cities beyond. Travel welcomed.
Love, family, emotion.
Those are the three things that are present at every wedding I photograph.
Modern documentary wedding photography is for souls looking for the eclectic, wildly unpredictable beauty of their love, family, and emotions captured on their wedding day.
Transport
Wedding photographs should transport you to another time, space, place, or feeling. I want to create photographs that make you remember what the breeze felt like as you said your vows.
I want to make photos that transport you back to the moment you put your arms around each other for your first dance. Photos that take you there….even when it’s been years.
“ We continue to find gem after gem in your work. It’s been so wonderful to relive the day through your lens. I can’t imagine how the photos could have come out better; you caught such beautiful moments with such incredible composition “
– Tony & Annie
Catapult
Photos that make you feel can catapult you right into the scene. You almost look at yourself with fresh eyes. Is that me in that dress?
Is that my partner looking at me with such incredible tenderness?
Feeling a sense of wonder when you see your photos drives me as an artist. Each photo from your wedding day should take you back to a moment in time…whether it’s an epic portrait of the two of you or a moment on the dance floor with your besties.
Photos are tangible memories that will catapult you back to the day, time after time.

My Style
Gone are the days when we have to pick a lane to describe our wedding photography style, and I am here for that.
I’ve never much liked staying in the lines. I’m a wedding photographer, and with that comes a responsibility for documenting on one of the most historical days of your life. The dress, the shoes, the flowers that you chose… the photo that your Aunt Edna must have of the family. These are all parts of the story!
Sometimes the story is told when I steal you away, put you in that great light I’ve been watching out of the corner of my eye.
I’ve been calculating exactly what it will look like when I put you there to create an epic, cinematic portrait that will make your heart stop when you see it.
Much of the time, you won’t see me at all…until you do because that song I love is on, and I’m out on the dance floor singing along and shooting the scene. I wait for the moment, the shape of the light, the reveal of emotions, and I document them for you. It’s not just about creating images of what happened; it’s creating photos of how the day made you feel.
In It To Win It:
Full-Day Coverage
I’m in for the long haul on your day, from getting ready through the big dances. I love being a part of the whole day because it offers the best chances of getting those storytelling images I want to capture for you.
Let it be said: I hate leaving a party early.
Wedding photography
collections begin at $2400.
“ Wow. Wow. Wow! We just
watched the slideshow, and tears were flowing. What an incredible display of our day, love, and family “
– Gretchen & Griffin
How this works
01
WE MEET
Over coffee, over drinks, over Zoom (with coffee and drinks?!) The first step is meeting each other and seeing how we get on. Here’s a good tip when shopping for ANY vendor: If you like my work, and I seem like someone you would want around on your wedding day, that’s a really good start.
02
WE MAKE IT LEGAL
A signed contract, and a retainer, are all we need to get you on the calendar.
03
WE DO THIS
We’ll meet again before the wedding to talk about the details of the day, and get to know each other a little better. On your day, I show up ready to tell the story of your love, your family, and the emotions of the day.
“ From our first meeting to the big day itself to getting our photos – she was fun, professional, and kind every step of the way. I can’t say enough good things about Emmerlee “
– Sarah & Kearn
