Minneapolis Wedding Photography • Kayla + Stephen’s Winter Wedding

It was a cold day in Minnesota. And I mean really, really cold. That is to be expected during a winter wedding in Minneapolis. But that did not stop us from having the most fantastic time at Kayla and Stephen’s wedding. Their ceremony took place at Mary Queen of Peace Church in Rogers, Mn. Stephen anxiously got ready for his first look with his soon-to-be bride, Kayla, and she looked BEAUTIFUL! After a ceremony that was all smiles (and a dropped wedding ring ensuing giggles), we headed over to the Maple Grove Town Green Amphitheater for a couple pictures but there was too much snow to get in (and just a bit too cold!). So we headed to the reception at the Minneapolis Marriott Northwest in Brooklyn Park. Pay close attention to the centerpieces on the tables. Can you figure out what they are? (Tell me your guess in the comments!) During the slideshow at the reception, Kayla surprised Stephen with a song she sang and recorded — there was not a dry eye in the house.

The whole day was filled with so many smiles and so much laughter. Kayla and Stephen are such a great couple and it was so wonderful to work with them! Congratulations on your wedding!

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.
