Seven months until we tie the knot AND Thanksgiving calls for a cute engagement photo! ▫️ Have a safe and happy holiday, friends! 
While I know this Thanksgiving needs to look drastically different than others, I hope you're still finding ways to relax and enjoy it. As a huge football fan with an unrelenting sweet tooth, I take solace in knowing there will still be games to watch and pie to eat, even if gatherings look different. Stay safe, friends, and THANK YOU for following along here. 
I didn’t know it at the time, but I shot my last wedding of 2020 last weekend. Weddings definitely looked different this year, but I am all the more thankful for my wonderful couples who got married this year and let me be a part of it! ▫️ This year was definitely lighter in the wedding workload, it I’m just looking at it as an opportunity to get more excited and more prepared for next year’s weddings! If you’re a couple whose wedding was affected this year, I am so, so sorry. Whether you pivoted to a smaller wedding or postponed, know that you made the right choice for you. But know this: your vendors are ready and EXCITED to be back in full force next year. Everyone will just be so thankful to celebrate again, making your day that much more magical than it will already be. 
I have to admit, I’m so excited for 2021. I know the world won’t just change as soon as we turn the calendar, but I get to capture so many wonderful couples’ wedding days at some bucket list venues next year! While I know it’s tough to plan right now (trust me, I know!) take comfort in the things that can’t be taken from you: your fiancé, your love story, and a day spent celebrating your love - no matter how big or small! 
Today is Brett’s birthday! 🎉 Though the world seems a bit bleak right now, I’m trying to celebrate him in any way I can and just take comfort in having each other and our health. Rain or shine, large wedding or small, I can’t wait to marry him in a few months. Swipe to see just how excited I am 😂 ▫️ @brookeelisabethphoto 
I can’t help myself... I just HAVE to share some sneak peeks from Megan & Brad’s amazing winter resort wedding yesterday. Everything from the fresh fallen snow to the emerald green accents was pure perfection. I can’t wait to show you more of this gorgeous day! ▫️ Special shout-out to my girl @brookeelisabethphoto for helping me photograph this day and road-tripping with me to Brainerd! 
Romantic, playful & classic. ▫️ Those are the emotions I try to accomplish in all of my sessions with couples. I’m a big fan of systems, so in every location I shoot at with a couple, I try to flow through poses and prompts that accomplish each of these 3 styles before I move on. This gives my couples galleries that are filled with variety but consistency as well. ▫️ Which is your preferred style?! 
Oh hey, it’s me! 👋 Thanks to all of you for your encouraging responses to my IGTV post yesterday! I’ve come to discover over the years in my photography business that many photographers love the creative side of their businesses, but often shy away from the technical or business piece. I’m the oddball who’s the opposite! My Type A mind loves to learn systems, build processes, and organize EVERYTHING, and I love sharing my tricks with others! If you’re a photographer, stick around for more tips like yesterday’s to organize your biz, improve your SEO, and market like a pro. If you’re not a photographer, don’t worry - I’ll keep the pretty photos coming too! 😁 
This weekend’s warm, autumn weather reminded me of Morgan and Noah’s glowy, golden session at Como Park earlier this fall. I couldn’t contain my excitement as I was photographing these two, because the golden light was the perfect pairing for their beaming smiles. Check out the full session on my blog tonight. Link is in my bio! 
There’s nothing quite like a fun bride squad! Women supporting women will forever be a passion of mine, and there a few times that support is more tangible than during a bridesmaids reveal! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ▫️⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Also, this Airbnb Cristina found time get ready in for her intimate wedding was SO cute! The white walls made my photographer heart so happy. Hotels and venues are not your only option for a getting ready space! Airbnbs and studio rental spaces can have amazing light and will make for gorgeous, editorial-looking photos.
