Before I get to the field part, we must take a moment of silence to observe this Maggie Sottero gown in all of its gown-al, bridal beauty. And the fact that it was made for Jenna. Who just so happens to be a Maggie Sottero bridal gown model. Now, anyway. Because I said. Her Mom Paula agrees with me.
The tiny, delicate, soft rosettes on Jenna’s shoes. I’d like to take them, shrink them down using Willy Wonka’s Shrinking Machine, and make a necklace out of them to wear every day. Not just the rosettes. The shoes.
I was happy that Jenna chose this one for the Fine Art Gallery Wrap at the wedding. It’s my favorite.
The trees and the sunlight framing Jenna.
Jenna floats through the field on a cloud of silk. Soft, creamy, silky silk.
This one’s my second favorite. One thing about Texas; it may be hot, but we’ve got the best nature over any state. Our tall grass can’t be beat because it comes with trees.
Warm and wispy.
A feather, a birdcage veil, and chandelier earrings. Enough said.
Nathan will love this one. Of his WIFE.
Jenna’s makeup was done for these and for the wedding by Shannon Caldwell, Airbrush Makeup Extraordinaire. She doesn’t call herself that; I do. She does only the airbrush makeup, which we love most in pictures for obvious reasons.
Now email her if you don’t have a makeup artist yet and you plan to look stunning/beautiful/soft/pretty/alloftheabove on your wedding day: shannon@something-you.com
I don’t get paid to say that; we like to share the pretty and the {good} professional when we know it is available to you. You can thank us later.
Ever since we bought our vintage couch, I had been wanting to photograph it in a field with a fabulous, laughing bride on it. When Jenna set up her bridal session (to be held in a field, no less), I knew she was such a bride. Nathan’s Dad Doug gets Father-In-Law-Of-The-Year-Award for helping us transport it in his truck and moving it to all of the locations I pointed at because he probably didn’t know what he was getting himself into when he agreed to this (brides and vintage couches don’t just appear in fields magically, you know :) A shout out and a great big thank you for use of your truck and your muscles, Doug! And Paula, MOB-of-the-Year for being the other fourth of our four-part entourage and helping keep the pretty!
You look stunning, Jenna.
One more gown shot for those who are still looking for their wedding dresses and need ideas. Taken at Our Old Stomping Grounds because a) the management likes us, and b) we still have the key. New tenant of #503, you maaay want to change your locks ;) Did you like our dark red, hot pink, tiffany blue, and princess purple walls that we left for you? I bet you had fun painting over those. Heheheee.
By the way, I want my wall hooks back. Heheeee again; j/k. Will actually refused to take those down because he’d prefer for me to buy new $48 dollar hooks instead of unscrewing them himself. Will, you give me no choice. Our clients deserve the best. And now, until you buy me the new hooks (yes, I’ve decided that you need to be the one to go out and buy them now), they will know when they see the gold one that you still haven’t done it yet.

Saturday was the beginning of Studio Noveau’s wedding season and I have a couple “teaser” images to share with you. Full blog post will be here soon, but for now, please enjoy these images of Kristin and Luke.
Ben (my husband) and I drove up to Woodbury, Minnesota for this beautiful wedding. From her peep-toe pumps, cocktail length gown, and birdcage veil, Kristin just oozed with class and style. From his quiet but steady demeanor to his classic tux, Luke looked every bit the part of the easy-going gentleman. They were both so relaxed and it put all of their guests at ease. What a fabulous wedding!
Some details:
Ceremony: King of King’s Lutheran Church.
Reception: Prestwick Golf Club
Caterer: Axel’s at Prestwick
Bride’s Dress: David’s Bridal
Makeup Artist: Ulta
Cakery: McHatties
DJ: Bellagala

Weddings with such cool people as Rebecca & Ed really make our day. And Rebecca’s very kind words just blow us away.
We met Jenni and Ulysses at our good friends’ wedding and when we got engaged, they were at the top of our list. Although we were nervous about the cost, we couldn’t find another photographer with the same quality or enthusiasm. Once we signed with them, we never thought twice and firmly believe it is one of the best decisions we made during our wedding planning.
Jenni and Ulysses are first and foremost awesome people. They love what they do and their enthusiasm is infectious. From our first engagement shoot to receiving our album, it was as if we were with two of our good friends. We felt so comfortable with them that we were able to enjoy every moment, forget about the camera in front of us, and let our true emotions shine through – they even taught us how to “smile with our eyes”! Their style is a unique; if you can blend hip, modern, intimate, and classic, you would wind up with their style. This is why we love our wedding album and all of the pictures so much; they capture how we felt that day and we have countless “favorites.”
Throughout our wedding planning process, Jenni and Ulysses were there. They helped us plan our photography, but we also asked them to recommend other vendors or tossed ideas off of them. At times they acted as our much needed pseudo wedding planners. All of our friends and family rave over our photos. They are also incredibly fast – we had our thank you notes less than 2 months after the wedding and our album in 5 months (and we weren’t very good about doing things as quickly as we should have).
We hope to see Jenni and Ulysses again soon and recommend them to all of our friends. Your wedding is such an emotional day – make sure to hire photographers that will capture your feelings, not just faces.

Maybe it’s just me but Monica and Aric look quite spectacular together. Funny how that works – You wait for the right one and when it all fits together you know it and so does everyone else. They made it all official at the Chrysler Museum of Art – a spectacular place all on it’s own. Add Monica and Aric and “voila!” an amazing evening results! Antonia Christianson Events (see more images on her blog!) and Blue Steel Lighting had the Chrysler looking its finest and DJ Rodney Charles kept the party lively. Congratulations guys – that’s a fine kickoff to what will be a long life together. Here’s M&A:

Shane and I love to travel for weddings and shooting in Colorado is an extra special treat. Each season brings an entirely new landscape of color and weather. Summertime weddings can be risky because most afternoons feature a thunderstorm (and at the higher elevations, occasionally snow!) The fun is that you never know what you’re going to get – only that the light and sky will be dramatic!
When we first arrived at the Silverthorne Pavilion to do some pre-wedding portraits with Teresa & Steve, the sky was perfectly blue, the air soft and warm. Without warning, though, the wind began to pick up and a flurry of storm clouds overtook the sun. Being the fabulously adventuresome couple that they are, these two had no intention of letting a bit of wind and drizzle get in the way of us shooting outside! They ran out into the storm hand in hand, laughing as the wind whipped through their hair.
I love how the diffused light gave a brilliance and depth to the greens and reds and how Teresa’s turquoise feathers and shoes perfectly matched the sky. Teresa designed every bit of the style, from her fabulous 50’s inspired dress, to the creative bouquets, and flirty peacock feathers that topped her birdcage veil.
We hope you enjoy these images as much as we enjoyed creating them! Congratulations to Teresa & Steve – you two are so full of joy and personality. It was inspiring to be a part of your wedding!
