An Adorable Love and Amazing Weather Anoka Engagement Session: Abby & Ryan


   We couldn't have asked for a better day. We couldn't have dreamed of it. Fifty-five and sunny in February is not just a rarity in Minnesota, it may just be a small miracle.  As such, we took full advantage of it and meandered through the various beautiful areas of Anoka- a place so familiar and sentimental for these two.  From the rustic silos to the urban streets full of character to the bridge overlooking the melting ice and their sun-kissed faces, we laughed and smiled our way through.  I cannot wait for their October winery wedding and the chance to continue to document their ever-growing love story!  Here is a peek into their session:

A 50's, Fun and & Fabulous Wedding: Janell & Justin


     Wedding days are often so indicative of a couples story, love, style and personality.  Janell and Justin's day was the perfect example of this truth.  Their fun & funky 1950's theme carried effortlessly throughout the day- from the vintage cars lining the sun-laden streets to the classic white tux worn wonderfully by the groom.  A gifted Elvis impersonator brought life and entertainment to their reception, just as the neon green details added elements of pop that reflect the couples unique personalities. It was hard to ignore the way the soft November sun shown so beautifully during their first look, and illuminated from behind her veil- truly the perfect day if ever there was one!  But perhaps above all these fantastic details, the one that seemed to weave so lovingly through their day was that of Porky's.  These two met and fell in love during a first date at the infamous restaurant many years ago- and as they planned their wedding at Pioneer Village in Hastings, they discovered that the now-closed eatery was moved and added to the Pioneer Village collection of historic and vintage buildings and cars.  And so their day came full circle and told their story at every turn.  If ever there was an unforgettable event, so full of fun, and all that made the 1950's idyllic and romantic, surely, it was Janell and Justin's day!  Here is a peak into some of their images:   



Special thanks to Pioneer Village for being the perfect venue for this 1950's themed wedding day!
