Royal Golf Club Wedding | Lake Elmo, MN

I fell in love with Jena and John from the moment I met them. They are a sweet, laid back couple that truly values their close friends and family. The way they treat each other is also major couple goals! J&J make sure to put each other first and it’s so beautiful to see. Their wedding day was full love and beautiful details that I had the honor of capturing!

We started our day at the Royal Golf Club with getting ready photos, the first look and some couples portraits. I loved this venue because they had so many options for photos. We had some rain roll through and the covered wrap-around veranda came in so handy! Thankfully the sprinkles left and we were able to utilize the venue fully!

For the ceremony we traveled to St. Thomas more Church in St. Paul. As you approach the building you wonder if you are in Europe because the beautiful architecture wows you! The inside is just as beautiful, if not more stunning, than the outside. I also cannot say more great things about the mass. Fr. R.J. Fichtinger was absolutely lovely and really made the ceremony heartfelt and personal to the couple.

John and Jena’s day finished back up at the Royal Golf Club with Dinner, Golf course photos and some dancing. I feel so privileged to be able celebrate and document each couple’s wedding and J&J’s wedding was no different. Their love story and connection made my job so enjoyable!

I know the gram has been quiet but it’s been busy behind the scenes! Lots of editing going on as I wrap up my fall season with a few more sessions to go before things really slow down for Christmas. My 2026 wedding calendar is officially booked and I will now only be taking 2027 weddings and beyond! Thank you to all my clients who continue to support me 🤍
Last week I had the privilege to photograph Madeline and Aaron at Lake Superior. This week, I get to go explore Lake Superior and the Apostle Islands. I will be out of the office 8/7-8/10. Soaking up these last few days of summer with my family before back to school! Can't wait for M&A's wedding next August in Duluth!

I'm back!! I spent an amazing 2 weeks in Europe visiting multiple cities! Rome, Sorrento, Positano, Capri, Venice & Paris. What an unforgettable adventure I had with my family. So many memories made and thousands of photos captured! I'm slowly working my way through my inbox and getting back into the swing of things. I'm looking forward to the second half of my season capturing your special moments!

Not sure how my baby grew up to be an adult, but here we are! She turns 18 this fall and in just 3 more sleeps, we will board a plane with her sister and dad to explore Italy & France. I'll be out of the office July 9-24th, so if you need to get a hold of me, I will get back to you when we're back state side. Make sure to follow our adventures on IG stories!
