Stephanie + Paul :: Duluth, MN Wedding Photographer

01.04.12

There are a few things in the photos below that would make you scratch your head if I told you this all happened on December 30th. There's hardly any snow on the ground.  There are only small chunks of ice on the shore. The bride is walking along the shore with her bare arms in the elements and icicles are not forming on her exposed skin. There are multiple people without gloves or hats. I could go on and on, but Stephanie and Paul really lucked out on their beach wedding in Duluth. There were no blizzards, there was no this and there was a clear view of Lake Superior when normally there'd be piles of ice as tall as the people attending the ceremony. And thankfully, the beach was awash in white thanks to snow showers the day before that left a couple of inches of snow behind. Congrats Stephanie and Paul!

Chrissy + Rodney :: Two Harbors, MN Engagement Photographer

12.20.11

When I first started talking to Rodney about shooting his engagement session, we both agreed that the lack of snow in northern Minnesota was not going to last. After all, the engagement session was scheduled for mid-December and we were talking in late-November. Plenty of time. Right? Well, usually at this time of the year, northern Minnesota and the north shore of Lake Superior are encased in ice and snow. This year? Not so much. So when December 14th rolled around and there was no snow, we decided to make the best of it and that wasn't hard. Between the beautiful north shore of Lake Superior, Chrissy's family farm and the smiles that formed when these two were in close proximity, it was a pretty fun engagement session.

Kjerstin and Jay’s Photo Booth

12.15.11

While it might have been frigid outside, inside the photo booth was one hot mess this past Saturday night as Kjerstin, Jay and their family and friends dominated the photo booth from start to finish. They entered elite company by filling up one memory card with pics and requiring the installation of a second card to complete the night. What you see below is just the tip of the iceberg and iceberg might be misleading since this wedding party certainly brought the fire.

Kjerstin + Jay :: Lutsen, MN Wedding Photographer

12.13.11

This past weekend I traveled up Minnesota's north shore for Kjerstin and Jay's wedding in Lutsen, Minnesota. As you might guess, it's a little cold this time of the year. While it may have been freezing outside, winter weddings at Lutsen are a unique experience and the scenery is much different than in the summer. The white snow blanketing the beach, the ice on the rocks and the cold-weather attire of the wedding party are all part of the experience. A big thanks to Kjerstin's sister Britta for literally climbing trees to help with the dress shot and to the entire wedding party and family for being so welcoming and awesome. I had a great time and wish you guys the best in the future!

Kjerstin and Jay MacGregor - Derek,
We love, love, love the pictures! You are so incredibly talented. During the ceremony, we barely knew you were there. During the reception, you captured the finest moments and everyone’s personality. Thanks for sharing the pictures so quickly. What an amazing weekend and now we can prove it!

With love, Kjerstin and Jay MacGregorDecember 13, 2011 – 7:54 pm

DRock - Thanks Kjerstin!December 14, 2011 – 10:44 am
