“This is a long shot, but my fiancee (American) and I (Australian) are getting married down under in March…” You don’t know how much I love getting messages like this and replying, “WE’RE SO IN. Not a long shot at all!” After months of Skyping + e-mailing, we met Syd + Alex when we landed in Australia a few days …
STYLED SHOOT | DARIANNE
Finding edgy wedding inspiration can be tough in the current wedding world of softness and preciousness, so it’s time to get creating, people! We lean hard toward creating something non-duplicative. We need to log out of Pinterest sometimes. ;) I love bold looks, while remaining feminine + stunning. Darianne’s look struck me + I was inspired to build a shoot around her. When I proposed the idea, …
ONE-ON-ONE MENTORING SESSIONS

A Day in the Life of Kita
You all know I’m THAT crazy dog mom. My girl is getting older, her face whiter, and imagining our little life without her = actual tears falling. Kita’s still totally kickin’ butt, adventuring, and being crazy – she’s not even close to done. We asked our gifted friend Sam to follow Keets around for a day. Yes, she lives quite …
JENN LOVES TANNER | SAN DIEGO WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
Next level awesomeness was achieved if we leave a wedding cracking inside jokes with the bride + groom. Ours with Jenn + Tanner has something to do with cupcakes. I’ll leave it at that. ;) When we met up with them to talk all things wedding, we clicked right away, sharing photos of our fur children and telling embarrassing stories. …
ALICIA LOVES CODY | BISMARCK WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
A DREAM OF A CERTAIN PHOTOGRAPHER CAME TRUE. Me. It’s me. My dream came true. An airplane hangar wedding. The bride + groom? Pilots. Could it be more perfect? The slogan from Jake Pavelka’s season of the Bachelor rings in my head: “On the Wings of Love.” ;) We legit love these two because they are crazy, madly in love …
NICOLE LOVES NICK | MINNESOTA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
Sometimes it’s hard to write about our couples. Listing off adjectives doesn’t embody their personalities enough – I want you to meet them! From witnessing Nicole + Nick’s interactions with their friends and family on their wedding day, we concluded they are the type of people you want in your inner circle. They are wholly awesome, warm, fun people. Photographing …
RHAYA LOVES MASON | ST. PAUL WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
This post is entirely too long because we are entirely obsessed with Rhaya + Mason! From my very first correspondence with Rhaya, I knew we were going to fall in love with these two. They gushed about each other and how they couldn’t wait to call each other husband and wife. The combination of their true love + the urban …
ALICIA LOVES JEFF | BISMARCK WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
Urban weddings are our jam, so we were s t o k e d to host one at our studio in downtown Bismarck! When I met Alicia I fell in BrideLove because the vision for her wedding was far from the norm. Gorgeous aesthetics and an intimate setting enhanced the real heartbeat of the day: Alicia + Jeff’s tangible love. …

We live in downtown Bismarck in the historical Anderson building, which was built in 1912. The space boasts large windows (natural light galore!), original hardwood floors, original brick, and original wood plank ceilings. After years of …
