Love stories are written in countless ways, but the tale of Ellie and Colin's wedding on the picturesque lakeshore in Crosslake was nothing short of enchanting. With perfect weather gracing their special day and a stunning sunset to seal their love, this wedding was a celebration of love and natural beauty.

Nestled in the heart of nature's embrace, the lake provided the most idyllic backdrop for Ellie and Colin's nuptials. Surrounded by towering pines and sparkling waters, the location exuded serenity. The couple's decision to hold their wedding at Camp Knutson was a testament to their shared love for the great outdoors, this camp and the peacefulness and joy it brings.

Under a rustic wooden arch, Ellie and Colin exchanged heartfelt vows. Their promises to each other echoed across the tranquil lake, a testament to the strength of their love. The rings, symbols of their commitment, were passed from hand to hand, a physical representation of their unbreakable bond.

As the day transitioned into evening, guests were treated to a breathtaking sight. The sky transformed into a kaleidoscope of colors as the sun began its descent. A warm, golden glow bathed the entire scene. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the festivities continued beneath a canopy of twinkling stars. The tent with its soft lights created an atmosphere of magic and romance. 

Ellie and Colin's lakeside wedding on Crosslake will be etched in the memories of all who attended. It was a day when love conquered all, nature smiled its approval, and a perfect sunset painted a magical backdrop for their love story. As they embark on this new chapter of their lives together, one thing is clear: their love, like the beauty of that day, will continue to shine brightly.

In the end, it was not just a wedding; it was a celebration of the love between Ellie and Colin, a love as timeless and beautiful as the lake and the sunset that graced their special day.

After living in Andover, Minnesota for several years with three young children and working as a Professional Family Photographer owning ADH Creative Solutions LLC, I have learned that we have access to some pretty beautiful parks that are very close by in the north of Minneapolis suburbs. Most people love Minnesota because of the amazing lakes. After all, we do have just a couple of them. When you think about where to take family photos it is important to think about the types of photos you are looking to have taken. Are you a fan of natural backgrounds? Do you want or need to bring any props? Is there an activity that you love to do as a family that allows people to see your personalities? I think it is important to leave yourself with a couple different options which is why I love these three parks so much.

So there you have it. Three great parks for Andover family photos. If you are interested in booking a photoshoot with a local Family Portrait Photographer then Adam Hymans of ADH Creative Solutions LLC will gladly help you out. To view portfolio click here.

When people hear going "up north" in Minnesota that means from the cities jumping on the highway and driving for a couple hours passing by lakes, beautiful scenery and hopefully ending up at a nice quiet cabin or house to spend some time. For Rachel and Ethan it meant finding their way to Barn In the Woods in Bovey. Right when you think you are in the middle of no where, it shines like a wedding oasis for us to celebrate this beautiful couple.

Witnessing this couple together and seeing the group of friends they had in their wedding party was nothing short of amazing. They share the passions of careers, they have worked at camps together and are such a kind genuine group

I felt honored to be able to capture this wedding and cannot wait to finish these images for the lovely couple.

Heading over to the TPC Twin Cities Golf Course in Blaine I got such a rush knowing how fun this wedding was going to be!! For anyone in the network of Dee and Jon I think it must be a pre requisite you have to be an absolute blast and enjoy dirty jokes ;)

The love in this family was so evident. I don't know if I have ever heard more people laugh and smile at the ceremony, reception, speeches and dance floor. What an amazing balance of joy and raw emotion from everyone who shared this day with them.

When Leigh and Alex reached out to me about being their wedding photographer I could not have been more excited. Obviously, September 11th is a day that no one can forget but, this lovely couple will now have a new memory for the day and for them, a day to celebrate their love. This also was the third wedding I have shot for this large family and they even accepted me in as an honorary Boser :) I guess I am a certified Boser Family Photographer now!

I know that this year was a challenge for a lot of people and to hear about the love and to see the people come together in celebration of this wedding was very special and uplifting!. The ceremony was at the beautiful, House of Hope Presbetyrian Church in Saint Paul, Minnesota. The wedding party then hopped onto a rocking party bus to meet everyone at the Vadnais Heights commons for the reception and a night filled with delicious food, ice cream, fun, drinks and dancing! Quite a few people enjoyed some celebratory cigars as well!

June 12, 2021. We all certainly knew how to celebrate the wedding of Leana and Joe! For anyone who knows these two, they certainly love spending time on the water listening to a little Aerosmith or Bon Jovi. So after the ceremony it was straight out to Lake Minnetonka to board the beautiful, Bella Vista for an evening of delicious food, drinks, smiles, laughter, tears and pure wedding bliss!

I was honored to be their chosen twin cities wedding photographer and would not have been able to capture the day without the help of my right hand man, AJ Haines. Also this couple had a pretty sweet line up of people which all made the day possible. Shout out to:

June 5th, 2021 turned out to be a wonderful day to get married! Often times when you hear that people are having a backyard wedding you may think that it will be a decent size backyard but this property was absolutely AMAZING!!! The yard was HUGE, it had a forest, pond, garden and plenty of lush greenery and it was a photographers dream. Breahna and Andrew had so much love shared with them from family and friends on their day.

It may have been a little hot (99 degrees) but that made the summer breeze feel that much better. I will tell you one thing that probably didn't help the heat was FIREBALL but several people in the wedding gave it a "shot"!!! I had sooo much fun working with these families and seeing some familiar faces from past weddings. Extra shout out to Becca (Bride from a wedding I photographed in 2018) a bridesmaid who is going to have a baby any day now and toughed it out in the near 100 degree heat! 

I was honored that ADH Creative Solutions LLC was their chosen twin cities wedding photographer.
