Last week some local photogs and I went with about 6 GORGEOUS models in STUNNING dresses out and about in the evening to bomp around Minneapolis....our goal was to play, make good images and have some wild fun together! And that is exactly what we did.....I stuck with the amazing and gorgeous Tasha and Lisa for the evening which *I loved* because they were not only BEAUTIFUL but got the giggles on camera more than a few times which turned into a laughing fest under the street lights of Minneapolis!
Oh---and PS for anyone out there planning a wedding, Lisa is one ROCK STAR COORDINATOR that will make your event awesome, perfect and the talk of the town. So before you get overwhelmed with wedding planning, just call her and she'll pull out her bag of tricks!
We started out with the lovely Tasha near the Minneapolis Photo Center building. OH---and MAJOR PROPS to all of you lovely hair and make-up woman that "did up" our models for the night because they looked high GLAM and oh-so-lovely!!!!!! I mean, check out Tasha's rock-star hair piece........

Lisa was ultra fun because her brown eyes are 90000% amazing, especially with THAT look that she gives you....owweeeeee
This one is *sooooooo* my favorite of Lisa from the whole night.....
Now back to the stunning, awesome and oh-so-beautiful Ms. Tasha.....this one is my favorite of her from the night....
A lovely night shot of the skyline from a Minneapolis appartment building terrace.....only one portion of this is focused and I just *might* have to print a gigantor 30x40 for our family room in the basement....whadda think??
Now....THATS A WRAP!!! Thank you ladies...you were lovely, you were perfect and I had so much fun. A successful night to me........

So hold on tight folks....this is going to be a long blog post because I can't get enough of Maren and Dena....aka HEADS TWOGETHER! They are twinsies, they are spunky, fun, ULTRA creative artists that make the most amazing pins, jewlery, scren printing, purses....you name it....they make it. And typically everything they make is made from something else! HA!!! Isn't that great!??!?!
Maren and Dena not only ooze passion for making amazing little treasures but they have one of the best sister relationships I have ever seen! They are not only sisters, but friends and business partners that can whole-heartedly laugh together! :) I *sooo* admire them for that!
If you are in the need for a birthday gift, wedding gift or I-had-a-bad-day-and-need-something-sweet-for-myself gift you MUST check out their latest at either their blog or etsy store. Or if you are out and about be sure to check out their wonderfulness at the Design Collective in Uptown or The Young Blood Boutique in Atlanta, GA!!!
Can you tell which twin is the dramatic one?? Heeeheeee!! :)
Doesn't bubblegum just bring out everyone's true colors??!?!?! I *sooooo* love this little series!
How else do you expect to carry a mannequin across the street??
And now onto the prarie portion of the evening! :)
I love love love love love love *LOVE* these phones and how dramatic these photos are! Wait...did I say that I LOVED this phone and pencil skirt combo???
Maren and Dena, your creativeness is contagious and I am *sooooo* buying every Christmas present this year from you guys! :) FOR REAL! You guys rock and I couldn't be more proud of you 2 twinsies.....
OH---and one last one just for the cheese factor!! awwwwwweeeeee.......

Amy and Brent ARE ENGAGED and I couldn't be happier for them...although this means that we all have to wait until next September to see them tie the knot...but I guess I can pull out some patience! Many moons ago Amy and I played hockey together through our entire middle and high school lives; and I have sooo many early morning hockey practice memories of us skating lines together because she was a goalie and I was a defense-woman which meant we stuck together! :) Fast forward to a few months ago when I almost fell out of my seat with excitement to hear that not only has Amy found the man of her dreams and is getting married but she wants me to shoot the wedding...ME! Isn't that lovely??
Every one is all grown up and MAN are Amy and Brent happy together....you could see it in how she giggles with him and looks into his eyes. They are planning THE most PERFECT Duluth wedding for next September and I can't count the days down fast enough for them! :)
Honestly....SO STINKIN CUTE!!!!
And of course Harley, their puppy, came along for a few.....aren't they just the cutest little family?? :)

I had the ever-most-awesome chance to drive to the BEAUTIFUL city of Wausau, WI to photograph Heather and Jason's vows!!! Not only is the drive through the middle of Wisconsin with rolling hills and blue skies scenic, but the city of Wausau is ULTRA CUTE! For real.....the next anniversary or romantic get-away MUST happen in the downtown are of this charming city for you....even the next girls weekend.....
Enough about Wausau.....Jason and Heather are MFOE (in normal terms that means MADE FOR EACH OTHER)! They are currently living in DC and you can tell that this is where they both are the thriving, SMART, lovely and IN LOVE couple! Honestly, they are cute and so passionate when they look into each other's eyes. Topped off with a fabulous wedding party the day couldn't have gotten better because we had the BEST time!
Heather's dress came all the way from DC (where they are currently living...although slight troubles in the airport...) but isn't it GORGEOUS??? I *loved* the extra puffyness of fabric that came out the bottom beyond the satin....
When I caught up with Jason he was finishing up writing his sincerest words about his appreciation for his childhood and parents in a little book that he gave to his them during the ceremony....made me cry when I found out what he was doing! :)
Heather's eyes couldn't have been more blue and CAPTIVATING....hot momma!!!!
One of my MOST FAVORITE parts about getting to shoot a wedding with an assistant are these little moments that I am not able to see....when I am down the isle shooting the processional, Katie is capturing moments like this......
And just for the record, the look on Heather's face in the ones says "OH YEA...we're MARRIED!!!!"

I *LOVED* that the wedding party wanted to walk through the downtown area to the reception spot only a few blocks away! :)
The reception was held at The Jefferson Street Inn which was so charming and cute! The ballroom was decorated beautifully in a beach-ish theme because Jason and Heather are planning to move to Flordia after their wedding festivities end! Talk about a transition.......
I just *adore* this photo of Heather and her Dad dancing as she fights back tears!
And then of course we had to sneak outside for a few photos at sunset....

Jason and Heather you guys are fabulous!!! It was such a treat to be able to travel to Wausau (and all of it's charm) to share in your special day. I wish you all the best as you start your new life on the beaches of Flordia....make sure to catch all the rays that you can!!!

Wow Emily!! You have really captured the day in such a beautiful way for our daughter Heather's wedding. Heather and Jason look amazing, and your photography is superb. I heard so many comments from our guests about the great photographer. I can't wait to see the rest of the collection. Thanks so much!

We were some of Jason's relatives that could not make it to the wedding. It made me sad to miss it. Thank you for putting this together. What an amazing love Jason and Heather have for each other. It brought tears to my eyes. Wonderful pictures!

I had a lovely afternoon bouncing around town and laughing with Ms. Courtney while we took some photos for her senior year. She will be graduating from Amery senior high school and already has HUGE plans for college next year! Courtney has a contagious smile, a SUPER outgoing personality and and has some ROCK STAR eyes......which makes her oh-so fun to photograph!!!
Courtney you are a ROCK STAR...cheers to your senior year at Amery High!!!!
