Minneapolis Wedding Photographer ⎮ Chart House Lakeville

I was beyond excited when I got the e-mail from Jackie asking me if I could document her wedding to Michelle. Everything that Jackie and Michelle were planning for their celebration sounded perfect. They were married in a small, outdoor ceremony at the Chart House in Lakeville, MN. The weather was lovely and they were surrounded by people who love them and support them. Their wedding was a great example of a fantastically personal wedding. Jackie spent so much time creating all of the awesome details with the decorations. She made EVERYTHING! Right down to the bridesmaid dresses! Jackie got the flowers from the farmers market in Apple Valley and assembled all 5 bouquets herself. She even made every single pom-pom. All 50 of them! This was the picture perfect DIY wedding. (Etsy has nothing on Jackie!)

The special details complemented the wedding ceremony. Everything was so perfect. So personal. So real. The love these two share is written all over their faces. I was smiling every second of editing their images.

I am so honored to have been able to capture the legal marriage of Michelle and Jackie just one month after Minnesota legalized same sex marriages. I couldn’t be more proud of my state and to be able to capture same LOVE.

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.
