Investment
Photographs are an investment
I call this an investment because you are investing in more than just photos. Our brains forget a lot of information while experiencing moments and photos are the glue that keeps memories in place. I hope that years from now you'll be able to look back and relive the people, places, and experiences from your photos. Photographs are the one thing you get to take away with you after the day is over.
Meet your photographer
Hi, I'm Cece
I have been photographing weddings since 2015. I spend my off days, backpacking, skiing, canoeing, surfing, or paddle boarding. I start and end every day with my retired sled dog Hoolaan. I'm so glad you found your way here.
I photograph people and their weddings in a documentary style because after years of posing and telling people what to do, it still never looked or felt right to me.
I can't fabricate or direct the memories you experience. The way you hug and the way you get married truly can't be orchestrated, no matter how much you plan it to happen. I leave all expectations of how your day "should" look at the door and come into your space with curiosity for whatever in the world will unfold before me.
I want you to get to experience this moment together without some random lady you found on the internet telling you what to do and where to look. You won't be asked to perform for photos. You can just go about enjoying your wedding day.
Trust me, this is what makes the unique photos that lead you to this page.

Yes! On average most of my clients spend a very small portion of their day (20-30 minutes) taking posed portraits on their wedding day. These often include family portraits and the occasional wedding party photos. If you don't want to have any posed photos taken on your wedding day, I always HIGHLY encourage it! Let me know if this is something that interests you, I can explain more on how that looks and works.

A Glimpse of an Elopement
Tony + Anna eloped at the Duluth, MN Courthouse surrounded by their parents and siblings. After saying "I do", these two drove to Lake Superior alone to soak in some private time together along the beach. They brought camp chairs, skipped some rocks, and took off their shoes to dip their toes into the lake. The next stop was dinner at Va Bene where they met back up again with their families. They all shared dinner together and Tony's grandma gave an incredible speech to the newlyweds.
Their Elopement was photographed with a mix of both digital and film. See more photos from Anna + Tony's Story on the Blog

Pick what package best fits your needs. You are always welcome to change or adjust your package at anytime. This gives me a great idea of what you might be needing for your day (ex. second shooters, an engagement session, or extra coverage. If you are stuck between two packages or add-on's. Let me know, I'm always happy to help you in deciding based on which one could work best for your desired amount of coverage.

Step 4- Complete Questionaire
A questionnaire will be sent to you 1-3 months prior to your wedding. This gives me an idea of your wedding day plans, family relationships and what parts of the day are most important to you. Once your questionnaire is completed. I can begin drafting your timeline from there.
Step 5- Timeline Call
Your timeline draft will be shared with you and we will chat about it over the phone to get your approval. If you have an event planner they often handle crafting a timeline with you and this step would go very quickly. Most of my clients don't have event planners, and this timeline helps map out when you'd like specific areas of your day covered, where, when and specific things will take place.
