It was only a few months since we met Landyn for his newborn session until we got to see them again before the holidays (yes, I am a bit behind in posting these…). He sure is turning into a handsome little guy!

The Coler family session was full of laughter, good times and lots of goofing off. I’m pretty tempted to show the outtake reel from this session, there are some pretty silly faces and moments that I can’t help but chuckle about. As I’m sure you have gathered by now knowing we’re people-orientated photographers, we love love. What better way to share that love then getting together with those who are none other than your own family. Today I have the pleasure to share with you a few of my favorites from the Coler family. Enjoy!

It can be especially intimidating as a photographer we are two of thousands in the Twin Cities. In September of 2011 I had seen a post from a photographer I follow on Facebook that introduced the Twin Cities Wedding Professionals networking group to me. I worked up the courage to attend the meeting that month and let me tell you, it wasn’t easy for me to do. Here I was going to a networking event by myself with no idea of what to expect. That meeting was held in Columbia Heights at the John P. Murzyn Hall. I still remember walking in, writing my name on the red sticker as it was my first visit and finding the table name I had drawn out of the bucket. As I looked around the room I saw people hugging, laughing and having a great time; it seemed like everyone already knew each other which didn’t help with my nerves. It wasn’t until Erin from We’ve Got It Covered came over and introduced herself to me that I started to feel settled in a bit. We had a great conversation and others quickly started joining our table washing my nerves away completely. The remainder of the meeting went very smooth and I was excited to go back the following month.

It’s been over a year and a half since I joined TCWP attending the meetings when I can and I am so thankful I worked up the guts to attend that first meeting. Since then, I’ve volunteered a few times and met so many wonderful people, some of which we’ve hired for our own wedding this June! I feel so full after every event and always have coffee with someone new creating relationships to help one another out and support each others’ businesses.

Michelle from Delight Photography, Matt Sherry from Complete Music and Elizabeth Hinke from Mintahoe formed TCWP four years ago next month. The monthly meeting are put together by many volunteers. A typical event will have time in the beginning for people to mingle and connect with others. One of the three founders of the group will then start introductions. A microphone is passed around the room allowing everyone to stand, introduce themselves, their business and their tagline, giving everyone a quick introduction to the group. Following the introductions there is typically an activity to encourage interaction and brainstorming. The meeting ends with announcements and details about next month’s meeting. The meetings are held every second Wednesday of the month; more details on can be found on the TCWP website: http://www.tcweddingpros.com.

March’s meeting was held at the Historic Concord Exchange. Below are some images of just a few of the beautiful rooms they have available for weddings and events. If you are a wedding professional and want to get connected with TCWP don’t miss next month’s meeting; it’s the forth anniversary party and is bound to be a smashingly good time!

We had the pleasure of photographing him days after his arrival to his adoring parents. He was a sleepy little guy that shared a few smiles here and there. He woke up content and relaxed most of the time and would fall back asleep within moments. He has the cutest little button nose and beautiful lips. He is a very loved little man and we are so excited to share with you the images from his session. Enjoy!

Two weeks before we were scheduled to meet with her and Jim, we received 12″ of snow. We were in luck! On their session day it was sunny, but still a bit chilly. They were troopers and let us take them all around the Richardson Nature Center. We are very much looking forward to their June 1st wedding. We’re sending them many (warm) congratulations as they embark on this new journey together!

My grandparents who have been civilly married for 23 years decided they wanted their marriage blessed by the Catholic Church. I feel pretty lucky as at their civil ceremony years ago, I was a cute little 3-year old in a pink frilly dress and had the large responsibility of flower girl. Some odd years later I get to capture this beautiful moment and witness them rededicate the rest of their lives to one another. I’m fairly certain these are the only two days in my life that I’ve actually seen them kiss! Congratulations to my loving grandparents. I am so blessed that I am a witness to the growth of the love they share for one another.

Gabi’s older sister Jeri is my closest girlfriend and that means I’ve had the absolute joy of watching Gabi turn into an incredible woman over years. When I met her she was still in high school and soon moved into college. Before I knew it she was celebrating her engagement to a wonderful man, Jack. I’m sure you’ve seen them here before. Last winter, we spent time at Lake Calhoun after one of Minneapolis’s only snow falls for their engagement session. And this summer we got together with  The Bliss Life for a styled session. Now I have the absolute joy to share their wedding day with you. But first, here are some thoughts from Gabi and Jack. Enjoy!

“Our wedding was the best wedding I’ve ever been to (as it should be for every bride and groom). It was fun, laid back and full of love. If I had dreamed up the perfect wedding, it would have been ours. It went so smoothly and was so beautiful; I couldn’t be more happy or proud of our special day. I think what made it so special was that everyone put so much work into making it what it was – perfect! Our family, friends and of course our wedding planners were so amazing, none of it would have been possible without them. It’s a shame that time couldn’t slow down for just one day. Early morning turned to late night way too fast and I wish I could back and enjoy it all over again.  Just writing this I am getting teary-eyed and filled with all the emotions of that day. I couldn’t feel more blessed to have the loving husband and supportive friends and families that I do today.

As for my vendors, they were all amazing. I cannot express the gratitude I feel in my heart for everyone who helped put everything together. The biggest thanks go to Jessica Hannon Photography and The Bliss Life. Together, they created and captured our wedding day so that Jack and I can relive it, not only in our memories, but through beautiful photography. Thank you so much.” ~ Gabi Winkels

“Our wedding day was the single greatest day of my life.  And it was the first amazing day of our lives together.  I could not have asked for anything more.  Everything turned out amazingly due to the hard work of many people!  We could not have been more grateful to all of the people who helped, and who came out for our day!  It was the largest outpouring of love that I have ever seen, and that was not lost on us.  It was also a very emotional day.  There were relatives and friends there that I hadn’t seen for years and years.  Knowing that all of these people came out to show is their love and support was overwhelming for both of us. Our families were completely united, and that was a sight to be seen!  Two big families coming together can make for a rowdy and memorable night!

It was never a mystery of how much I loved Gabriela, but I had the entire day to show everyone how much she meant to me!  It was the time to parade around my beautiful new wife!  It was fantastic!  I only wish I could go back in time and be a guest at that party, because I hear it was a good one!  It was such a blur from start to finish.” ~ Jack Winkels

Melissa and I go back, way way back. We’ve shared many laughs, hugs, cheers and high-fives together. Maybe even a kick in the face or two while on cheer squad. When she emailed me to tell me she was seven months pregnant and wanted a session with me I was ecstatic. Melissa is the woman you could hang out with day-in and day-out. She has this incredible infectious smile that just lights up the room. In this case, it lit up the ranch! She is so genuine and with a gentle nature; she’s going to be the most loving mother to her sweet little boy. This was the most amazing shoot I’ve ever experienced; I just couldn’t hold back. I hope you enjoy them!

She’s probably going to kill me from posting this photo, but I couldn’t resist. It is the perfect example of how fun and playful she is! Here she’s making fun of how large she feels just after I got done telling her how tiny she is! For being seven and a half months pregnant, she was the tiniest mamma-to-be I’d ever seen.
