Minnesota Wedding Photographer and International Photojournalist

When it comes to tropical getaways, few places on earth are as beautiful as Thailand. Thailand offers one of the world’s largest varieties of tropical fruits and vegetables, a perfect location for a tropical fruit fast and healing retreat. Thailand is a Raw Food Paradise and a wonderful place for anyone looking to heal and detoxify their body.

Thailand’s ancient past is rooted in the Buddhist tradition, making it home to some of the oldest and largest Buddhist temples (stupas) in the world. The fantastic cultural diversity of Thailand incorporates a great deal of influence from India, China, Cambodia, and the rest of Southeast Asia, making it a perfect place to take pictures as well as offer an international photojournalist like myself, many unique opportunities.

Christal and Eric’s Wedding Photography in Minnesota

Christal and Eric, your wedding was absolutely beautiful! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be your wedding photographer. We took a lot of great pictures on your big day. I had a great time working with you.

You are a natural around the camera and that makes my job far more fun and easy! Christal and Eric, you are an amazing couple and I pray for God’s best for you! You are going to do powerful things together. Change that world!!!

Oh, and great job jumping in the hotel fountain at the end of the day! Not many people are that adventurous! It sure made for some great pictures!

Here are some of my favorites from the day… [Read more →]

The day the 35W Bridge Collapsed!

This is an interesting Engagement Photography Story… I took Christal and Eric’s engagement pictures AFTER they were married due to scheduling conflicts by both of us, and because they booked me as their wedding photographer very close to their awesome wedding date of 7/7/07.I took them to one of my favorite places, a section of rail road tacks in Coon Rapids, Minnesota. It is a very busy section of track where it is rare if a train is not seen every 15 minutes or so. Moving trains and train tracks almost always make a good backdrop for Engagement Pictures. Take a look at Adiel and Tiffany’s Engagement Pictures at the rail road tracks in Stillwater, Minnesota.

“I should have realized something was wrong when I didn’t see a train for over an hour, and my cell phone started ringing like crazy…” [Read more →]

The 35W Bridge Collapse here in Minneapolis, Minnesota was international news! I drove over the bridge 30 minutes before it collapsed. I was taking Engagement Pictures of Christal and Eric at the time of the collapse. They went over the bridge 15 minutes before it fell. Kinda freaky considering we rescheduled the engagement pictures at the last minute, which made us barely escape making that number 17 dead.

I was able to take the picture above the same night of the collapse. I couldn’t get any closer or take any more detailed pictures with the security guards everywhere. Trust me, I almost got arrested trying! [Read more →]

Adiel and Tiffany’s Engagement Pictures
Stillwater, Minnesota

Who said Engagement Pictures have to be formal and fancy?! I say, have fun and show off who you really are! I took these engagement pictures at some Rail Road Tracks on the St. Croix River in Stillwater, Minnesota.

Rail Road Tracks make a great background for engagement pictures, another good example is Christal and Eric’s Engagement Pictures

Boy, did we have A LOT of FUN!

I am excited to take Adiel and Tiffany’s Wedding Pictures in Nepal later this year!
