Reflecting on Nine Years

July 21st, 2010

Nine years ago today, I vowed in front of many witnesses to esteem my bride above all other women. Since then I have always strived to keep that vow. Thankfully, God lavished so many blessings through this one person, that holding onto that promise hasn’t been a difficult road.

Amy is the truest friend—partner for life. Thank you Amy, for all the smiles, laughter, tears, patience and love you have given to me and our children. You truly are the best woman in the world to me. Thanks for saying “I do”. I am looking forward what God has in store for us. I love you. -Justin

Sabrina & Jason Engagement

July 14th, 2010

Self-described as polar opposites, Jason and Sabrina actually complement each other really well. They are a fun couple. We met up at Como Park in Minneapolis, MN for their engagement session. I had forgotten how nice that park is. The indoor area threw a bit of a hurtle since those tropical environments tend to fog up camera lenses. Despite that and dodging busy crowds, I am pleased with how these turned out.

Check back soon; I hope to post some photos from my cousin Melanie’s wedding.

Rachel & Daniel Engagement

June 4th, 2010

Minnesota threw a rainstorm at us Sunday evening when we were originally scheduled to do a photo shoot with Rachel and Danny. It worked to our benefit to reschedule on Memorial Day because the weather was so great for photos.

Since Rachel & Daniel lived near the cities, we were needing to find a nice location to photograph their engagement photos. Amy, my wife, had remembered the arched bridge in Minneapolis, and with a tip my friend Dajana, we set out to find the Mill City ruins. It was a great location, though apparently a hotspot for engagement photos…there were two other couples there as well.

Amy and I enjoyed getting to know Rachel, Daniel, and their daughter, Ashlyn. They are a fun couple and I am excited to photograph their wedding near Two Harbors later this summer.

Melanie & Steve Engagement

April 16th, 2010

I was excited to be able to photograph my cousin Melanie and her fiancé Steve and had high hopes that since Illinois is farther south, there would be nicer weather and no snow. Well, wouldn’t you know it, after a week of warm weather down there, it decided to snow the only day we both had free. What turned out though was a nice wintery scene with a covered bridge and a timeless train station. Despite having to make a few trips to the car to warm up, we had a lot of fun taking these photos.

Jeff, Kristi and New Life

April 5th, 2010

Some friends of ours recently had a baby. I was honored to take pictures of their newborn and the rest of their family. Amy and I cleared our dining room and had some fun photographing their precious children. They have a wonderful family.
