Minneapolis Engagement Photographer Takes On the Snow in Excelsior

Engagement

Meet Katy and Justin. Totally just the cutest couple I ever did see. Katy and Justin came ‘home’ for spring break and the agenda included their E-Session in downtown Excelsior. When I first met them in person, we had hoped that spring would actually be here for their session. Perhaps we would see some clear ground or maybe some flowers peeking though the old leaves. Alas, we had a fresh snow fall just for their arrival. However it was beautiful. The fresh snow made all the streets look clean and it was perfect for a post session snowball fight. During their session we spend time in Downtown Excelsior taking advantage of the quaint storefronts, frozen Lake Minnetonka, painted backdrops and we even stopped at one of my favorite little spots, 318 Cafe. It was so nice to warm up with a hot cup of coco in the middle of the e-session. I can’t wait for their summer wedding at the Marsh in Minnetonka!

Minneapolis MN Wedding Photographer

Meet Michelle

“I’m not sure which is harder,” says Michelle Tanner. “Going to the dentist or talking about oneself.”

Luckily, Michelle’s work does much of her talking for her: fresh, clean, modern. “I work actively to stay up on modern photography trends, but ultimately want to create a timeless product. I love the storytelling aspect of photography. I want you to look back on your images and be taken back to that moment, feeling the same feelings you did when the picture was captured.”

Michelle also understands it can be overwhelming for couples and families to pick a photographer who best complements their personalities. “There are numerous photographers in the Twin Cities area, and we all have tons of passion for what we do,” she says. As to Michelle, her emphasis is on great composition, without forced posing. She possesses a real knack for being in the right place at the right time, capturing natural moments as they happen. Her eye is quick and the shots are crisp, meaning images stand on their own without need for extreme editing or re-touching.

On the professional side, she aims for best possible communication – both timely and clear – before, during and after the wedding or session. She strives for optimism, honesty, organization, flexibility and – as much as possible – a stress-free day for you! Ever-calm amid the storm, Michelle remains “invisible” as needed, but can easily step up to guided directing at a moment’s notice.
