Cheers!
- I’m always open to trying something new if it serves your story and honors the meaning behind your day.
- I bring a calm, go-with-the-flow presence, creating space for moments to unfold naturally and intentionally.
- I photograph with an artistic, detail-driven eye — paying close attention to light, movement, and emotion to create a gallery that reflects the depth of your connection.
- I don’t take lightly the privilege of documenting a covenant-level love, and I approach your wedding day with care, joy, and deep respect.

Your wedding day isn’t about checking boxes or following a script. It’s about presence — the pauses, the emotion, and the small moments that quietly hold the most weight. My role is to notice those moments as they happen and preserve them in a way that feels honest and enduring.
I pay close attention to what unfolds naturally: the nerves that turn into peace, the laughter that breaks through the stillness, the way you instinctively reach for one another. These are the moments that shape the story of your day, and they deserve to be documented with care and intention.
Whether you’re planning something intimate and simple or a full, story-filled celebration from beginning to end, your experience with me is never one-size-fits-all. From The Gold to The Diamond, and every offering in between, I approach your wedding with a steady presence, an artistic eye, and deep respect for the commitment you’re stepping into together.

She did a great job with both our engagement photos and on our wedding day. Ivy made us both feel extremely comfortable and used all elements to create great photos that we have put all over our home.
Jessica & Joe
Below you'll find some handy tips for nailing down the perfect style.
Engagement sessions aren’t about posing perfectly or “practicing” for your wedding day. They’re about slowing down, getting comfortable together in front of the camera, and creating space to be fully yourselves.
This is where trust is built. Where you learn how I’ll guide you, where you feel what it’s like to be photographed without pressure, and where you get to simply enjoy one another. These photos become more than just save-the-dates — they’re a meaningful chapter of your story, captured intentionally before everything else begins.
& why I love them!
ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS
Hair &
MAKEUP
Professional hair and makeup isn’t about looking overdone — it’s about feeling confident, polished, and present. Soft, natural looks photograph incredibly well and help you relax into the experience knowing you feel your best from every angle.
What to
WEAR
Your outfits set the tone for your session, but they shouldn’t steal the spotlight. Think elevated, comfortable, and cohesive — pieces that feel like you on your best day. I’ll always help guide you toward outfits that photograph beautifully while still feeling authentic and timeless.
Time &
LOCATION
Light and location matter more than most people realize. Whether it’s golden hour along the water, a quiet trail at sunset, or a place that holds meaning to you, I’ll help choose a time and setting that complements your vision and allows your connection to take center stage.
no way, jose
- Loud logos, graphics, or heavy text that distract from connection
- Neon or overly saturated colors that pull attention away from emotion
- Super busy patterns that compete with your surroundings
- Matching outfits exactly — coordination over duplication always photographs better
- Anything that feels stiff, itchy, or uncomfortable (if you feel it, we’ll see it)
- Neutral and earthy tones that photograph softly and timelessly (think creams, tans, soft browns, muted greens, dusty blues)
- Textured fabrics like linen, knits, cotton, denim, or wool — they add depth and movement on camera
- Flowing silhouettes, layers, or pieces that move when you walk, spin, or snuggle in close
- Well-loved shoes you can actually walk in — comfort always wins
- Outfits that feel like an elevated version of you (not something you’d never normally wear)
yes! yes! yes!
Engagement photo styling tips
Choosing outfits for your engagement session doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. The goal isn’t perfection — it’s intention. When your outfits feel comfortable, cohesive, and true to you, your photos naturally feel more effortless, emotional, and timeless.
Think movement, texture, and pieces that allow you to show up fully as yourselves — not costumes, not trends you’ll cringe at later.
what to wear
Ivy is one of the most talented and underrated photographers in Minnesota. Her work stands out to me above the rest. She won't give you a gallery full of cliche photos. Her work is unique, timeless, and captures the magic of the world around her.

Why do elopements cost more than short wedding coverage?
That’s a great question — and I totally understand the comparison.
While elopements and weddings may sometimes include a similar number of hours, they are very different experiences behind the scenes. Elopement collections include extensive planning support, location scouting, timeline curation, and logistical guidance — often across multiple locations or environments. Wedding coverage is structured around an existing schedule and venue, while elopements are intentionally designed from the ground up. The pricing reflects the level of planning, flexibility, and creative partnership involved.
Can we book elopement pricing for a small or intimate wedding?
FAQS
everything you need to know
Elopement collections are reserved specifically for elopement experiences, which involve custom planning and location-based storytelling. For intimate weddings or shorter timelines, The Essential Story is designed to offer intentional wedding coverage while honoring the structure of a traditional wedding day.
FAQS

What if we only need a few hours of coverage?
If your day includes a ceremony and portraits with a simplified timeline, The Essential Story may be the perfect fit. For fuller coverage — including getting ready, multiple locations, or extended celebrations — one of the full wedding collections will better support your day.
Why do your packages include Polaroids?
FAQS
everything you need to know
Polaroids are a tangible, nostalgic way to preserve your day — something you can hold, tuck away, and revisit long after the gallery is delivered. They’re one of my favorite ways to give you a meaningful keepsake on the day itself.
How many weddings and elopements do you take each year?
FAQS
everything you need to know
To ensure every couple receives a high-touch, intentional experience, I accept a limited number of weddings and elopements each year. Availability is intentionally limited, especially during peak season.In total 10 weddings and 5-6 elopements each year
Do You do Body/Beauty retouching or Photoshop edits?
What editing is included?
Every image is professionally edited for color, exposure, and overall tone to reflect my natural, true-to-life style. Temporary blemishes (like acne present on the wedding day) may be lightly refined.
What editing is not included?
I do not remove flyaways or wind-blown hair, swap people in or out of photos, alter body shape or facial features, or perform beauty retouching, reconstructive edits, or composite images.
What about scars or permanent features?
Scars, freckles, tattoos, and other permanent features are not removed by default. If you’d like something addressed, it must be requested before editing begins and is subject to approval.
Can I request re-edits?
Minor color or exposure adjustments may be requested within 7 days of gallery delivery. Re-edits are limited and reviewed at my discretion.
Why this approach?
I believe your photos should feel honest, timeless, and true to you — not overly retouched or artificial. By booking, you’re trusting my artistic vision and editing style.
