We have jumped into 2023 with both excitement for all that is ahead as well as humble gratitude as we look back on the past year.  We have had the privilege of photographing hundreds of incredible couples and families as well as working alongside some of the most amazing wedding vendors in the industry!  It is with deep gratitude that we accept the Knot Best of Weddings Award for 2023, and we are honored to have our work featured in printed publications including Minnesota Bride!

Over the past year, we have served some of the most incredibly gracious and genuine people, and we can’t even begin to express our gratitude for their kindness in their online reviews and emails.  A few of our year’s highlights are shared below, and we look forward to serving many more amazing couples and families in the season ahead!

6/15/22 – Shane (and Anna), A quick note to say thank you for taking care of us the day before and day of our wedding a few weeks back.  We’ve taken a quick (but not a full deep dive) of all of the pictures you’ve shared so far and they look amazing.  Shane – you were so great both days.  We really appreciated how well you fit into our day and our vibe…and how well you took care of our asks and helped adjust to the schedule the day of.  We’ve received so many compliments on your demeanor and work from our family and friends.  Thanks for being a part of our special day and we’ll be sure to recommend you to anyone and everyone who asks!  Again we love your work so much – Hope you’re well, Sam & Lindsey

6/22/22 – Shane and Anna, Nick and I just wanted to say thank you truly so much for everything – you’re both incredibly talented and such wonderful people! All of our guests and wedding party made a point to say to us how wonderful you were, Shane, including my father who is not one to hand out compliments lightly!  The gift was so thoughtful and a testament to how you both go above and beyond by not only mastering all the big things but by paying attention to the details and the small touches that transform a moment into something really special. I’ve managed to make it through both days of weddings without crying but the sneak peeks and the latest instagram post have certainly found where the tears were hiding!  Working with you both has been such a joy and privilege and easily the best decision we made for our wedding – please let us know how best we can help to ensure your continued success! – Thank you again for everything, Bhargavi and Nick

10/22/22 – Anna! Shane!!! Holy smokes! I see almost two photo galleries every week and THESE are some of the best photos I’ve ever seen. I’ve been struggling over the past few years to have a good representation of why fall is the best time to get married at our venue and the colors in your photos are exactly what I’ve been talking about! Also, the way you shot the building so perfectly, this being your first time here, is jaw dropping. I can’t wait to share these. They are such a gift! We don’t have preferred vendors but I will certainly not shy away from letting clients know that we love your work. – Thank you, truly! (Wedding Venue)
