MN Winter Wedding Photography – Kjerstin & Matthew

Liz — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 21:18:02 +0000

Minnesota had ONE day of snow this winter before Liz and I left for Hawaii in the middle of January. And on that one day happened to fall Kjerstin and Matthew’s wedding. Some people might call this irony, but I call it an AMAZING WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY OPPORTUNITY! These wedding photographs are definitely one-of-a-kind now. The falling snow added a new dimension and a touch of magnificence to each photograph. Kjerstin and Matt braved the cold and went outside with me to play in the fresh snow that lightly blanketed a frozen lake near their wedding ceremony site. The huge snowflakes look almost like fake movie set snow in these photographs… It was almost too perfect.

MN Wedding Photography goes to Idaho – Kari & Tyler

Liz — Sat, 18 Jun 2011 21:50:58 +0000

Kari and Tyler’s Idaho mountain wedding was absolutely beautiful. The couple planned to have their wedding ceremony on a small open plain with a striking mountain view. On the morning of the wedding, it was pouring. Since the sudden rain hadn’t been in the forecast, Kari and Tyler hadn’t planned for it. They asked me what I thought they should do. I told them to call Kari’s mother, who was still shopping for last-minute items in Boise, and to instruct her to buy every single umbrella she could find at the local Target. She did, and Kari and Tyler gave the umbrellas to their guests as wedding favors. The ceremony took place outside on the plain as planned, and each of the guests had his own umbrella, making for a fun and unique wedding ceremony and fantastic wedding photos!

Brovado Wedding Photography in Idaho – Kari & Tyler’s Wedding Rehearsal

Liz — Sat, 18 Jun 2011 01:47:53 +0000

My trip out to Idaho this summer to photograph Kari and Tyler’s wedding was one of the best photography trips I’ve taken. It was the middle point of a round about flight that began in my hometown of Minneapolis, went on to a stop in North Dakota where I shot Valerie and Bill’s trash the dress session, then over to Idaho for Kari and Tyler’s wedding events, then to Denver, Colorado and finally back home to Minnesota. I brought my new video crew with me so we could film all of the events to which we were flying and get started on our new line of wedding videography. Here are some photos from Kari and Tyler’s wedding rehearsal and rehearsal dinner in Fairfield, Idaho. You can see more on BROVADO’s Facebook page. Oh! And we made our first professional wedding video at Kari and Tyler’s rehearsal and wedding! Click here to see Kari and Tyler’s wedding video.

Trash The Dress Photography – Valerie & Bill

Liz — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 15:42:15 +0000

There’s a fun story behind this North Dakota “Trash the Dress” photo shoot. My photography crew and I were gearing up to photograph a beautiful mountain wedding in Fairfield, Idaho. We were taking my Centurion, a fast flying six-seater airplane that would get us there in a fraction of the time it would take to drive. I mapped out our route and when I was looking at flying through the Dakotas, I thought I’d give some of my past wedding clients, Valerie and Bill, a call since they lived in Bismark, ND. There’s somewhat of a back story here… A couple weeks earlier, Valerie had posted a photo on my facebook wall of the woods in North Dakota where we had shot the majority of her bride and groom photos on her wedding day. In the photo, those very same woods were now under 6 feet of water due to the recent flooding in Bismark! So I had an idea. When Valerie answered my call, I asked her if she and Bill would be interested in doing a Trash the Dress photo shoot in the flooded woods. It was, after all, right around their one year anniversary mark. How perfect would it be to trash her wedding dress, on her anniversary, in the same woods in which we took her wedding photos? She talked it over with Bill and called me back. They thought it was a great idea! So I scheduled a stop in Bismark on our way out to Idaho.

This Trash the Dress session was fun on so many levels. The weather was warm and perfect. Valerie and Bill had a blast. The local news station even came out to document what we were doing, and made a little inspirational piece to air on the Bismark evening news that talked about Val and Bill’s idea to make something good and beautiful come of the flood waters that had been so devastating to that part of town.

See the Local News Coverage from this Trash the Dress Session!

What’s more, my crew and I got to practice our video skills, and we made our first promotional video for Brovado Weddings in preparation for launching a new branch of the company – wedding videography services, in addition to our wedding photography. Enjoy Valerie and Bill’s Trash the Dress photos below, and stay tuned for more wedding videos from Brovado Weddings!

MN Wedding Photography Assistant – Meet Liz!

Liz — Sun, 22 May 2011 18:39:48 +0000

Hi! I’m Liz. I work with Preston at Brovado Weddings doing… well, pretty much anything he needs me to do! I started out here in 2009 as an office assistant of sorts, and since then my job description has expanded rapidly. I now do all of the photo editing, blog posts, Thank You and holiday card designs, advertising, website maintenance and some correspondence with clients. I was also put in charge of designing the entire Hawaii Wedding Photography website that you saw in our last post. Whew! I’m learning a lot here. This job definitely keeps me on my toes. I love it, and I love working with Preston!

When I’m not working, I am usually running, doing something artsy, or babysitting. I used to be a preschool teacher, and I still babysit for a lot of families that went to my school… Like 25 of them. I love to run, and I just ran my first marathon in October. It was seriously one of the most fun and exciting things I’ve ever done! I am also kind of obsessed with insects. I love ants, and I find eusociality to be incredibly fascinating.

Well, that’s me in a nutshell. I wanted to introduce myself as the behind-the-scenes accessory to one of the most amazing wedding photography businesses in Minnesota. I am honored to be a part of this company, and to work with one of the most talented and successful wedding photographers around!

I am available to answer any questions, order prints, design things, etc. Feel free to contact me anytime! My email address is: liz@brovadoweddings.com

Thanks for reading, and thank you for being such amazing clients! It’s been a pleasure working with all of you!

MN Wedding Photography in St. Paul – Ashley & Joe

Liz — Sat, 21 May 2011 17:05:55 +0000

Ashley & Joe’s wedding was one of the first weddings I shot back at home this spring after spending the winter in Hawaii. It was another rainy spring day, and Ashley and Joe made the best of it, posing for their wedding photography underneath umbrellas and dancing through the rain. The drizzle didn’t phase them one bit. They were both so incredibly happy to be getting married! Their joy shows in these wedding photos. Ashley and Joe, I am absolutely honored to have done your MN wedding photography. Thank you for such a fun day!
