Brianna & Aiden are so dang sweet, fun & thoughtful! I am so glad they found each other! They have two adorable kiddos together. Brianna is a fellow photographer and friend (check out her amazing work here). As such, she dreamed up this amazing anniversary session centralized on exploring Wisconsins largest waterfall, aka Willow Falls at Willow River State Park in Hudson, WI!

Courtney & Eric opted for a hiking engagement adventure in the Baraboo Range. We hiked up the talus slopes, taking in the vast 500 foot views of the lake at the top. It felt a lot like we had just reached the first summit of a mountain, which is not a feeling you often get hiking in Wisconsin! It was so great, hiking around with these two lovers, cannot wait for their 2020 wedding!!

These two got married in Duluth, MN with their closest people a few weeks prior. They decided to do more photos of just the two of them along Lake Superior at sunset. Love these two, I’m so dang happy for them!

Jeff + Kelsey thought it would be fun to get all adventury down at Willow Falls in Hudson, WI for their engagement session. They even packed some cold beers to celebrate! Dodging a few swimmers & climbers along the way, they managed to crack open a couple brews, cuddle up & celebrate their love together! So relaxed, fun & completely them!

Katie & Ryan radiate love & laughter. Having just met them in the parking lot that afternoon, I could already tell we would be instant friends!

Little back story, I met this amazing lady when I switched to her Salon in Woodbury, MN a few years back. Our mutual love for hiking, kayaking, traveling and other fun outdoorsy stuff, made us quick friends!!

What a year. It was a filled with growth, self improvement, traveling and incredible clients!! I got to travel to some truly amazing places this year, and help some of you create the best elopement & engagement adventures ever. This year I photographed 26 Weddings and Elopements & 39 Adventure Sessions & Engagements! We traveled to 10 different states & visited 7 National Parks.

Quick intro here, I had never really explored the East Coast before, so when I booked a destination elopement on Folley Beach in South Carolina (view blog post here) I immediately started planning a little road trip around the area! So the plan started with us flying into Atlanta, GA, renting a car and heading to The Great Smoky Mountains National Park!

Amanda & Emily were headed to celebrate their newlywed status with their family this summer. They decided on a quick pre elopement photo session in their dresses along the bluffs in St. Croix Falls, WI beforehand.

Okay so, this was literally the perfect fall day in Baraboo, Wisconsin…

Being big fans of the rugged and woodsy Lake Superior shoreline, hiking around Silver Bay, MN was the obvious choice for their engagement photos!

Glacier National Park in freaking Montana... what?!? I'm actually here?!!!" After the countless hours on the road to this wild west mountain town, I remember waking up in the tent in awe.. feeling as tho I had to be dreaming or something.

Feeling a tad bit defeated upon arrival to Glacier National Park in Montana hearing the iconic "Going to the Sun Road" was closed for the season still due to snow at higher elevations (we had no idea it was still very early in the year for them... think spring conditions in the middle of June!!)

Glacier National Park in Montana is the perfect place for your engagement photo adventure. It is literally breathtaking, whether you are taking in the 360 views from the "going to the sun road," or hitting the trails to one of the many glacial lakes, it is a mountain lovers' must see!
