Introducing Richmond Julian

noreply@blogger.com (Red Apple Images) — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 03:14:00 +0000

My dear college friends Fred and Jess had their little peanut Richie a little earlier than anyone anticipated. We all met at a year-long leadership program at the University of Minnesota and it's been great being a part of Fred and Jess' relationship from start to present. Richie came home just shy of one month after his very early birthday, and was really exciting about taking his picture taken; he was awake almost the entire time I was there. Richie just turned two months old and is plumping up nicely. Congrats to Fred and Jess and their expanding New Student Weekend family!

Kara and Jim: Pregnant!

I had the wonderful pleasure of working with Kara and Jim for the second time last month, prior to our initial meeting at their wedding.

These two are so sweet and in love with each other and I just know they are going to be fabulous parents to their new little one Phoebe. I can't wait to meet her!

Kate and Doug Get Married!

noreply@blogger.com (Red Apple Images) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 23:37:00 +0000

I had such a great time at this wedding. Kate and Doug are a hilarious and amazing couple. Doug definitely kept me on my toes and Kate was calm and collected the whole night. Everyone had an absolute blast. And what kind of party is it if there isn't karaoke?

Kate looked so gorgeous with her vintage hair and makeup look

And some amazing outtakes:

Caitlin and Alex: Married

Caitlin and Alex are an incredibly laid back and lovely couple.
I was so fortunate to be part of their gorgeous wedding at The Semple Mansion.

Congratulations to you both!

I hope to have Caitlin and Alex's images up next week, but for now a shot inspired by the delicious Max Wanger

Astrid and Dan: Married!

noreply@blogger.com (Red Apple Images) — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 12:17:00 +0000

Astrid and Dan have to be one of sweetest and smartest couples in the Twin Cities area. It's not common that I am contacted almost solely by the groom, but Dan was at the helm of finding and contacting the wedding photographer (way to go Dan!)

I had never been to the Gibbs Museum before, but what an amazing place! It's a little slice of the country right in the middle of St Paul . The very close to my heart (and stomach) Chowgirls catered, there was a barn dance and the wildflowers were all in bloom. Oh, did I mention Astrid wore a BLUE dress? Just thinking about it makes me melt into a little puddle of happiness!

I believe they had their rings made by Simply Wood Rings Absolutely gorgeous they were made with salvaged silver and had a rosewood inlay.

What wedding is complete without a goat to keep things in line ?

Adelaide: 6 Months!

noreply@blogger.com (Red Apple Images) — Fri, 18 Sep 2009 16:52:00 +0000

I was so excited when Rebekah and Rett asked me to come take pictures of Adelaide again.

It's still amazing to me that something this small:

Turns in to something this big:

The handsome family

Anna and Steve: Married

noreply@blogger.com (Red Apple Images) — Mon, 27 Jul 2009 03:17:00 +0000

Anna and Steve are such a great and relaxed couple. They had an intimate affair at Anna's parents house and made it extra special by having her father officiate (he earned his credentials online) and inviting only very close family and friends. Everything was gorgeous and these two couldn't be happier.

Just in case you haven't seen it...

Awesome!

Katie and Chris: Married

noreply@blogger.com (Red Apple Images) — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 20:01:00 +0000

When I met Katie and Chris a year ago I was so excited about the idea of shooting their wedding. Throwing lots of convention to the curb, this couple had an incredibly meaningful, gorgeous and fun wedding at Gale Woods Farm. The weather was perfect, the beer was cold and the shoes were hot! This is one of those weddings I wish I had attended before my own to get inspiration. So much thought, creativity and love was put into every aspect...

She was so in love with her birdcage veil (and so was I!)

Katie rode to the ceremony in style in her Dad's vintage cruiser

Not many processionals walk by sheep before going down the aisle (sadly).

Of course we had to get a few shots with the car

Inside the bright red barn

Beautifully hand crafted centerpieces. The light was perfect all day.

Kristi and Dave's Afternoon in the Garden Wedding

noreply@blogger.com (Red Apple Images) — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 01:43:00 +0000

I am SO lucky to be able to work with clients like Kristi and Dave. We only had about one and a half hours to work together (Yes, I do custom to your day packages) including the ceremony and lots of family pictures. The skies were ominous but behaved themselves the entire time. The ceremony focused on Kristi and Dave's love for each other and the importance of their family and friends to their lives and their new life together. They included a ring warming ceremony where all the attendee's hold the rings while thinking positive thoughts and well wishes for the couple. I am in love with this idea! The bagpiper was a surprise to Kristi's mom and they walked down the aisle to Canon in D, traditional yet meaningful to Kristi who played the song on her cello with her brother (on viola) (and me on violin!) back in the day in Wauwatosa, WI.

If this doesn't completely encapsulate why I love my clients, nothing else does.

Karen and Brandon: Married

noreply@blogger.com (Red Apple Images) — Fri, 12 Jun 2009 18:35:00 +0000

Karen and Brandon just finished Medical school in Ohio and are on their way to Brown to do their residencies. They are the most laid back, awesome couple and I'm completely amazed by the gorgeous wedding they planned 800 miles away from Minnesota. They had so many carefully picked out details not to mention one hell of a dance after dinner. Congrats Karen and Brandon!

I grabbed a couple of cute portraits of one of the bridesmaids and her partner

Adam

noreply@blogger.com (Red Apple Images) — Fri, 22 May 2009 21:28:00 +0000

I'm so behind on blogging. I had this session back in early April, and here we are nearing June! With wedding season in full swing, blogging sadly takes a back burner. But alas, I made time today to blog about super cute, just past one year old, Adam.

Sneak Peek: Workshop

noreply@blogger.com (Red Apple Images) — Fri, 22 May 2009 20:26:00 +0000

I am SOOO behind on my blogging but I REALLY wanted to get at least one picture from the Workshop I did at the beginning of the month out into the world. Enjoy!

WHAT a GREAT couple to ring in the wedding season with. I can't wait to show you more!

Baby Lucy

noreply@blogger.com (Red Apple Images) — Sun, 10 May 2009 15:30:00 +0000

I'm really behind on my blogging, but I have lots of awesome stuff to post soon. In the mean time, for Mother's day I took pictures of a very crabby Baby Lucy. She was not interested in smiling for me AT ALL, but this picture did manage to squeeze tear or two out of Sara's eyes, so I'll consider the shoot a success.

A day in the life: Behind the scenes

noreply@blogger.com (Red Apple Images) — Sat, 18 Apr 2009 23:02:00 +0000

I snapped this one of Melissa while she was shooting Julie

And it turns out she shot this of me while shooting Reagan

It's always interesting to see how you work from someone else's vantage point.

A day in the life

Today I shot...

A hip program writer

A confident entrepeneur

A chubby baby

and

A beautiful flutist

And now I'm a tired monkey. Time for wine and bonfires.

This might be my favorite baby picture I've ever taken.
