Eden Praire, Minnesota Wedding Video - Babatunde & Katie's Film

This couple was so much fun. The entire wedding day was filled with jokes and lots of laughter.  It was obvious that they were in love by how comfortable they were with each other. In fact both of their families already clicked so well at the wedding, I am sure they are going to be great in-laws.

Everybody seemed to have the perfect thing to say to the newlyweds all day. From their charismatic pastor delivering a one of a kind sermon, tailor made for this great couple, to the hilarious toasts given by the father of the bride and best man.  The whole day was filled with laughs and heartfelt words. So many great things were said I had a hard time cutting any out for the video.

Not only did the Tim & Katie know how to laugh but they knew how to party. They ended out the evening with a celebration at the Garden Room in Eden Praire that included a lot of lively dancing.

My words don't do this couple and their big day justice, so without further adieu please enjoy this highlight film of their wedding:

Foley, Minnesota Wedding Video - Matt & Kristy's Film

Although I was only with Matt & Kristy for a short time, it was still easy for me to see how much they were in love.  They are such a great match for each other. The couple was married in a quaint little church in the middle of farm country Minnesota.  Kristy did a great job of decorating the church, mostly by herself with a little help from Matt. From the intricate family portraits woven into the flower arrangements to the big crowd of family and friends, it was obvious how much love these two have for family and each other.  I had so much fun filming these two on their special day.
Despite not being a 'shotgun wedding' quite a few firearms did show up at the wedding.  You'll have to watch their video below to see what I am talking about. Enjoy.

Romance Portrait Photographer at The Cloisters

What makes the perfect wedding location? A tropical setting? Warm Caribbean sun?  Ancient French monuments? Whatever it is, The Cloisters seem to have it all in spades.  Located on Paradise Island a short walk from The Atlantis Resort the Cloisters are prominently situated in the Versailles garden’s of The Ocean Club.
In 2011 a delightful couple picked this ideal location as the venue for their wedding vows.  One year after their special day, they found themselves enjoying a Caribbean cruise which stopped at Nassau as a port of call. A short drive over the bridge to Paradise Island and these love birds were able to reminisce and remember their wedding day. Not wanting their memories to fade they decided to have some more photos taken to bring back home with them.
It was a pure pleasure to photograph this couple.  The hardest part was trying to find some photos to delete when I got home.  They were both just so gorgeous they made every captured image look great. From behind the lens it seemed like they had just said ‘I do’ yesterday.

Nassau, Bahamas Family Photographer | Beach Portraits

I’ve been photographing quite a few families on vacation recently.  The Bahamas are a great family destination with lots beaches and activities to offer visitors of all ages.  Its been fun meeting vacationers from all over the world enjoying quality family time together in The Bahamas.  Not one of them has regretted taking professional photos home as a souvenir to remember their trip after the suntans have faded.

 One of my most recent clients was a family from the West Coast who were staying at the Atlantis Resort. This family was a blast to work with. I loved their choice of bright colored clothing. It made their photos really pop.

After capturing these great shots at cabbage beach we made a quick side trip to The Cloisters, a popular wedding location near the Paradise Island beach.  I’m sure you can tell why so many couples choose to get married here once you see the photos below.

Nassau, Bahamas Portrait Photographer | My Friends

I know a lot of fantastic people. So many that sometimes I wonder how I came to be so blessed.

Last summer I got to photograph some of these fantastic people. These girls are some of my "almost like sisters" friends. We've laughed and done a lot of crazy things together. We've spent lots of time discussing life and trying to understand it. Girls, I love you, and thanks so much for thinking my jokes are funny!
