A warm Janesville, Minnesota Wedding

Sherry — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 21:40:57 +0000

I spent the coldest day of the year (remember in Nov, the day with sleet and ice etc-that day) with the warmest hearted couple I’ve met in a long time. This couple was surrounded by friends and family in the little village I like to call a home away from home, Janesville. Like any day in Minnesota, we knew there was a good chance of snow, but the bride was a trooper. In the few outdoors images we were able to catch before the sunset, the bride stood in flip flops as the snow sprinkled (okay sleet pelted) down. It was a bit magical being in that fun Minnesota setting, the snow quietly falling down around the bride and groom. Thank you for choosing me to create these images for you.

A Perfect Day for a Happily Ever After

Sherry — Tue, 11 Oct 2011 14:00:41 +0000

Once upon a time at a winery not too far away, I was honored to photograph a very sweet bride and groom. I have my husband Luke to thank for his skills as my second photographer, going above and beyond for this bride and groom. Here are some of the images we created for the precious couple. Congrats to this amazing bride and groom, it was a blessing to have worked with you this summer!

Instead of the traditional guest book, this couple had their guests write messages on rocks, here are the bride’s parents creating their love story rock.

Fate & Color & Laugh out Loud Photography

Sherry — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 13:34:17 +0000

On my drive to every wedding ceremony I think of a few words I want to use to tell the wedding story of the day. Above and beyond the typical magical images I want to create I pick one theme word. (ex Repetition, Angle) This wedding was a three hour drive for my husband and I, and the word that kept coming to mind for me was COLOR. (I knew very little about the ceremony except that is was outside) To my great surprise, there was COLOR everywhere. Vashti, the elegant bride choose Color for herself, by selecting an array of ways to bring it into the wedding.

I was as smitten as always about photographing a couple in love, but this wedding left me speechless and teary eyed and laughing right out loud many times during the event. I had a great time working with this couple, the wedding party and their supportive families. When I sat down to proof out the wedding I had all those same emotions again, falling right back into the memory of that day. Thank you Vashti and Taylor for including me in such an important day at the start of your life together.

Blessing you Both on your happily ever after!

A Golden Day

Sherry — Wed, 24 Aug 2011 14:00:04 +0000

I’ve been looking forward to this wedding day maybe since I met the bride photographing her high school senior portraits. Our paths would line up again years later when we worked together and shared a solid friendship. I was honored to be a part of Danielle & Bryan’s amazing day. Perfect weather, a beautiful theme decorated with Gold and black, and the couple surrounded by many friends and family. Tears of joy were around every corner, and well as some great dance moves and big smiles from everyone….making this a day I won’t soon forget! Congrats Danielle and Bryan on your July 30th Wedding.

In the Heat of Love

Sherry — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 14:00:17 +0000

Cheers to this happy couple whom I’ve know for a few years. I met the Bride Dena a few years back when she was a high school senior. Her and her family have played a big roll in renewing my excitement for photography each time they hire us for a session. This wedding was no different. Travis and Dena chose the Indian Island Winery as the ideal location to say their “I do’s”. One of the highlights of the wedding was a balloon release prior to the reception beginning, this was the first time I had seen one done at a wedding, and it was very sweet. Here are a few of the other sweet memories from the day.

Wedding Photography with Glee

Sherry — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 14:00:58 +0000

Sometimes you run into a couple of down to earth people you wish you had met sooner in your life, Enter Theresa and Carl, happily married this past month. From the moment I discovered the bride was wearing her mother’s wedding dress, I was smitten with this wedding. With each new little surprise I found myself literally jumping with glee….transformer cuff-links, the first daughter to walk down the aisle, an engraved ring, a groom waiting to see her bride at the alter, a father giving the sermon, a grandfather who gossiped to me all about his “glory days” as a photojournalist, I really…..didn’t want to the day to end. Ask the bride and groom, when I found them sneaking a bit of down time away from the guests, I rearranged their cuddle time and created a whole series of images in which this first one is a part of. Here is a peak at what my Saturday away from my kids looks like….. Congrats Lonnquists, you amazed me, really, may you be truly blessed with every happiness.

Mankato Wedding Chris and Kelsie Kaiser

Sherry — Fri, 20 May 2011 13:41:29 +0000

What a happy day! It was the most beautiful day for a wedding and thanks to mother nature no one was too hot, or too cold, or too much in a hurry to change into something else. It was a Blessed day for Kelsie and Chris and I was thankful to be part of it. This was my first wedding after having baby number two and it felt great to be back behind the camera. Thanks to great assistance from Kandi Poppler for her many talents and helping me at this event. Here are a few of the images from the day.

A Wedding Story

Sherry — Fri, 11 Feb 2011 14:00:39 +0000

Congrats to our many brides to be who recently got engaged. We’ve been receiving many calls and questions about our 2011 & 2012 wedding collections. If you’ve also recently decided to tie the knot, I would love to know all about it. I am IN LOVE with LOVE, and can’t get enough of the joy that a wedding day celebration brings. Featured here is a wedding from the summer of 2010, and one of the most memorable days I’ve had the chance to photograph. By the time I jumped in the van at the end of the night, I felt it hard to leave, as if I had become part of their families. Thank You Shawnna and Jay for reminding me how much TRUE LOVE means.

We still have a few dates in 2011 open for your wedding day photography. If you would like to meet with me and find out why my passion lies in the telling of your story with images, call me anytime. 507.381.8007

Engagement Photography

Sherry — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 14:00:25 +0000

Our wedding collections include a complimentary engagement session, couple can do in studio and on location. We decided to split this couples sessions to two days and two seasons. Here is a sample of the few images we created this month in studio. When the snow melts and the ball parks open up, we plan to do images on location with them as well. Portraits created on-site and somewhere meaningful to the couple (or family) makes my job as a photographer Inspiring. I can’t wait for spring!

Congrats to this happy couple, they have a summer 2011 wedding planned!
