It's officially summer in Minnesota and it came just in time for Anne and Brandon's engagement session! I first met Anne when she was a bridesmaid for Lisha and Andrew's wedding! I absolutely fell in love with this girl - and apparently so did she with me!

Anne is a girl who absolutely knows what she wants in life! When she met Brandon, it was everything you would imagine in a summer romance. However, Brandon had to leave to go to Europe for two years to play professional hockey! The distance just didn't matter to these two and the moment that Brandon knew that 'she was the one' was when Anne surprised him, in Europe, for his team's finals!

She found her man and he got his girl...the rest is history!



Congratulations to Anne and Brandon! These two have an amazing wedding planned in northern MN this summer....think bonfires, lakes and big trees...I can't WAIT!

LOVEe

Photogen Inc Music Video // Immabe from capture studios on Vimeo.


WE MADE A MUSIC VIDEO!!!!!

Jeffrey and I had an idea in our head for QUITE some time now about making a music video to Imma Be by the Black Eyed Peas! The lyrics to this song are SO perfect for the photo industry, and also our personal goals for the future!

We're the shit baby, check us out.

I must say, we've got some swagger!

An ENORMOUS THANK YOU to the brilliantly cool Matt & Ty of Capture Studios for filming & producing the video for us!

LOVEe

sorry for the post over and over, it kept giving me an error. what about the copyright of the song?

James says:

Ok, so your wanting to be professional photographers, tell me, would you be mad when someone steals your pictures for their own use.
I ask because you seem to have no problem stealing from a popular band.
Don't worry, I work with them daily, I will go ahead and let them know, I sure they will have no problem with you stealing from them.

The first time Jenny and Bryan met, they blew each other off. You know, that 'Too Cool for School' flirting game we all use to play? Lucky for them, they were both persistent and finally went on a real date. Their chemistry is undeniable and so is their true sense of humor! Jenny and Bryan are super playful with each other, which is such an important thing to have in a relationship!

This couple - and their families already hold a special place in my heart! I've already photographed Bryan's brother's wedding a couple years ago and they are some of my all-time-favorite people! I absolutely love my job, especially when I get invited back to share, yet again, a momentous day with a very cool family!
