Krystal + Jay | Engaged

I meet some couples in the most interesting ways. Krystal and her sister were bartending at a wedding we had a few months back and asked for my info before we left. When I got to meet her and Jay shortly after, we hit it off right away and, as you'd guess, I'm now their photographer!

Whether a couple feels comfortable in front of the lens, or not, I'm equally as passionate to give them the best photos they've ever had taken. Krystal + Jay were one couple who's not camera shy...and you gotta love that. It was a blast doing their e-session, and Jay had a few ideas for some crazy photos he wanted. Best of all, the chemistry between the two of them was a mix of sweet love + a lot of fun. They're truly a couple that will be laughing their way through life.

Michelle + Greg | Engaged

Michelle was more than enthusiastic about being a Studio Blue bride. When we met, she expressed her passion for photography and a real desire to have unique, artistic images. Every now and then, I'll meet a nearlywed with a love for photography. Sure, all of our couples love great images, but I'm talking about a genuine love for being the person taking the pictures. I suppose it has its challenging elements--trying to please another photog's eye--but then again, there's quite a reward in knowing you delivered for a visual artist. In other words, there's certainly a different kind of appreciation another photographer has for the images you give them.

Michelle + Greg's e-session took place near Loring Park--a perfect mix of nature + concrete. The rain cleared just in time for our shoot, and everything seemed to dry quickly. The Loring Corners felt more like a narrow street in Europe than an alley in Minneapolis. With the range of pictures we were able to pull off in such a small location, it's definitely a new favorite place for me to shoot.
