Your day is for connection and intention. Not an insincere production.

Minnesota intimate wedding and elopement photographer

deeply connected souls

What does your love look like when you’re quiet, sipping your morning coffee (or maybe one of you prefers green tea), playing footsie and sharing inside jokes without speaking?

How can you create an intimate wedding to honor that connection?

At the center of your celebration is you, your connection and your intention. Period.

If you truly want 300 people and the whole works, then you do it. If you want to be alone on top of the most remote mountain somewhere in the Andes, hey, do you (I’ll start training for high altitudes!).

Give yourselves the wedding day that shines a light on your real life love. And let my images help you hold onto it forever.

Let’s honor your connection

“I couldn’t imagine anyone else along for the wedding day ride than Tom!”

— Jess and Taylor

Trusting strangers

I know what a huge ask this is. I know what this day means to you. I know that trust is earned.

For you to be you, you need to be comfortable, relaxed, present. And to do this you need to be able to trust your photographer with the most important day of your lives.

But I want you to know that my work is 1000% not about me. It’s about you. Your day. Your connection.

Looking through my lens, I see you as you see yourselves, as the rest of the world should see you. 

Let me get to know your uniqueness.

Here’s to becoming fast friends!

“He has the gift of putting people at ease, making you laugh and capturing the sweet, candid moments that we will always remember from our wedding day.”

— Brooke

I want your wedding day to feel like…

… driving down the highway – windows down and the music up.
… camping under the stars and making s’mores over a fire.
… the smell of your favorite coffee in the morning.

The heart of every wedding day is the same:
Celebrate with the people you love. And to have a day that speaks directly to what marriage is – a lifelong commitment to one another. 

But the way you choose to celebrate will be unlike any other wedding because you’re damn unique humans with an extraordinary connection.

I’m here to capture the spirit of that connection and help you glide through the day – your love at center stage every moment.

What will your wedding feel like?

Reasons to hire Tom:
1. You will feel like the best version of yourself in all the photos.
2. He is super easy to get along with.
3. He is very organized and has an amazing wedding photography guide that helps you learn about and make decisions on what pictures you want to capture on your day.

Portraits

Life happens. And keeps happening.

In the book of life there are so many chapters and so many moments, both great and small, that are worth commemorating (especially if you can use them to embarrass your kids when they’re teenagers).

As a family and couples photographer, I document the journey of life. I want to be there for the first steps, the graduations, the slow, sleepy Sundays and all the “just because” moments.

Every era of our lives deserves to be documented, even (especially!) the quiet, everyday moments that tell the true stories of who we were.

Document my life!

“We have a 15 month old that wouldn’t stop moving the entire shoot and he captured some of the best pictures we have ever seen and got his sweet little personality in there.”

— Michelle

Here, all are celebrated, accepted, and loved. Here, you are free to be you.

I want you to be the true you, so I will hold space for you unconditionally as you are. 

I believe: In treating people with kindness above all else. Love is love. Women’s rights are human rights. No human is illegal. Black Lives Matter. And that we need to protect our planet.

I hope you are on the same page. If not, I may not be the photographer for you.
