New Website Coming Soon!!!

I'm getting so excited because my new website is almost completed!  Many, many hours of work :) I decided that I really wanted to be able to maintain my own website, so I've been slowly working on it myself, which during high wedding season is a feat in itself!!


I wanted to warn everyone a head of time that my email could be screwed up for a few days. I'm switching to a whole new system, so it may take a few days to iron out the kinks.  You can always email me at jmphotographymn@gmail.com  or feel free to call me at 612-730-7368.

I'm hoping the website will go live before the end of the week!  I say that loosely of course because who knows what can happen..ha !!

I'll make sure to post a blog once the site is LIVE!

Cheers~

Nick & Renee











Nick and Renee were married on July 26, 2008 at St. John's Lutheran Church in Buffalo, MN, and their reception was held at the Rogers Community Center.  Nick and Renee have been together quite a few years and Renee put an awesome slideshow together to capture them growing up and their relationship with each other!  Some of my favorite moments of the day were when Nick saw Renee for the first time coming down the isle.  His expression is priceless and brought a tear to my eye.  My other favorite moment is when Renee danced with her dad. You can see the love she has for her father and again it made me tear up!  I need to start having kleenex readily available to me from now on!!  Thanks for letting me be apart of your special day guys !

Noah- 1 Year




Noah's session was right after Sloane's today and his mom Christine is also a friend of mine from my mommy group :)  However, we've known each other since our wedding planning days about 3 years ago!  Noah is such a sweet baby, he is cool as a cucumber!  I just LOVE the family photos from this session.  Noah is a beautiful gift to his parents and you can just see the love in their eyes when they look at him and interact together as a family!

Sloane - 13 Months



Sloane's mom Rachel is a friend of mine from a mommy group that I participate in quite frequently.  Her daughter is so beautiful and I was really excited when she asked me to photograph her little girl.   Sloane just celebrated her birthday not to long ago and mom and dad were wanting to document this special occasion!  Poor little Sloane was fighting a miserable cold but we still managed to get some great photos.  I especially love the photo of her crying, I just think it's so sweet and makes me giggle inside.  Someday, all of us mommies will show our kids these photos and it will let us remember the sweet memories of this special time.

DeLonn & Maria












DeLonn and Maria were married on the beautiful afternoon of July 12, 2008.  Their ceremony was at St. Edwards in Bloomington.  Maria is just such a cutie!  She has a great personality and made it so fun to photograph her!  After the ceremony we headed to St. Anthony & Main in Minneapolis and it was simply perfect.  DeLonn and Maria are just magical together and I don't think they could take a bad photo!  Not to mention their stunning bridal party!  We had so much fun bouncing from each location down there.  We hurried to their reception at Edinburgh USA, in Brooklyn Park afterwards.  Maria's father sang the most beautiful song to his daughter and there wasn't a dry eye in the house...including mine!!  We had a great end to the evening by taking some photos at sunset on the golf green.  A beautiful ending to a beautiful day :)

HOTMAIL & MSN EMAIL USERS

For some reason Hotmail and MSN have blocked me from sending emails to you starting this week!  Nice huh?  They must think my email j@jmphotomn.com is SPAM.  I'm working with my web hosting provider to try and fix this problem.  In the mean time, please feel free to email me with a different email address.  You can also email me at jmphotographymn@gmail.com as well.  


Hopefully this issue will be resolved soon.  Thank you for your patience!

Amber & Russ





Amber and Russ had originally booked another photographer for their wedding.  So I felt very honored when Amber came to me a few months ago wanting to talk with me about possibly doing their photography instead.  Amber and I immediately were on the same page and I knew exactly what she and Russ were looking for in their engagement and wedding photos.  I'm so glad that they decided to book me because they were a blast to work with.  We had great fun tonight walking around Minnehaha Falls taking their engagement photos.  Russ and Amber went with an ultra casual look and it worked great... totally fit their personalities!

Andy & Julie




Andy and Julie were so much fun!  They were totally up for me dragging them all over Minneapolis.  They were absolutely great together and had a great chemistry together.  Andy loved that he got to make out with Julie and nuzzle her neck..ha ha...RAWR :)   We really had a great evening!  As our shoot ended we had these awesome thunderstorm clouds roll in.  We quickly finished up our session with some photos by Mill City.  Thanks again guys...Can't wait till your November wedding :)

Scott & Liz












Scott and Liz were married on July 5th, 2008.  They had a beautiful ceremony at St. Mark's Catholic Church in St.Paul.  After the ceremony we walked around downtown St. Paul for some wedding photos and Scott and Liz were just amazing together.  They are simply radiant on camera!  The reception was held at the University Club, Grand Ballroom, not to be confused with the University Club on Summit Avenue.  Although both owned by the same people, they are very different locations.  The Grand Ballroom had beautiful tall ceilings with glass chandeliers ...it was absolutely breathtaking!  Liz and Scott are two very special people and it meant the world to them that so many traveled from afar...such as Switzerland to celebrate their special day with them.  Congratulations guys!  It was a joy to be a part of your special day.

Josh & Nicole





Josh and Nicole are living thousands of miles apart right now.  Josh is living in Boston where he works while Nicole is finishing up her Residency to become a doctor here in Minnesota.  The plan is for her to move out there eventually :)  Josh came to MN to spend the 4th of July weekend here but it didn't come without a few bumps.  The airlines were delayed yesterday and then they lost his luggage.  Somehow though, they managed to find him some fabulous new clothes and shoes just before their session.  We bopped all around Minneapolis for some great photographs.   Josh was oh so kind to help me with some parallel parking tips...you'd think I do it a lot being in Minneapolis so much, but I actually avoid it like the plague..ha!  Thanks for your expert teaching Josh :)  My van is in one piece!!

They say distance makes the heart grow fonder and I definitely see that to be true with Josh and Nicole.  They were so beautiful on camera together this evening!
