Quinn rocks!  That’s all there is to it… these photos are proof!  We had a BLAST exploring Minneapolis getting these shots.  I loved getting to know him and his parents, and I LOVE the result!

I wish I was this cool when I was in high school!

Liz and Ben’s wedding was filled with so much love and laughter!  Their bridal party was seriously the best group ever!  I’ve never seen a group of friends have so much fun together.  They had each other laughing all day long!  To see more photos of Liz and Ben check out their engagement session at St. Anthony Main!

Amber, Mike and I had a blast getting these photos in Stillwater!  These two definitely know how to laugh and I love how much fun they had with this session!  I can’t wait to see what their wedding will bring.

Leslie and Jared had a picture perfect destination wedding!!!  They got married at the beautiful Riu in Negril, on the beach, with their closet friends and family.  Seriously, how could you go wrong?!  I have had so much fun getting to know these two.  They are so SO good together!  Leslie and Jared – THANK YOU for bringing me with you, it was an honor, and a lot of fun

Leslie and Jared were married in Negril, Jamaica!  It was an amazing wedding!  But, we’ll get to that later…  First, what’s a destination wedding without a Trash the Dress Session!  Better yet, what’s a destination wedding without 2 dresses!  That’s right, Leslie was a 2 dress bride, this session got it’s very own wedding gown, just for trashing!!!

Enjoy!!!

Meet Brenna and Charlie!  Brenna was my roommate in college, so I’ve known these two for years!  They are getting married in October and I can’t wait for the wedding!!  It is always a treat to be asked to take photos of my friends.  Brenna and Charlie wanted to do something a little different for their engagement photos.  We were aiming for a very laid-back editorial shoot capturing life in their beautiful new home, with their adorable new puppy!  I have to say that I’m loving the result!

Brenna and Charlie – I love that you make goofy faces at each other without any prompting!  Charlie, I love the way you make her laugh.  Oh, and I’m kidnapping Desmo.  -Callie

As soon as Linnea and Chris told me that they wanted to bring their two dogs along for their engagement photos I KNEW we’d hit it off!  The 5 of us went to my favorite Minneapolis doggie spot – Minnehaha Dog Park.  Chris and Linnea are so comfortable with each other, and their energy is infectious!  I had a blast getting to know them, and I can’t wait for their wedding!  So, without further adieu, meet Chris, Linnea and their fur-babies!

Meet Kinsey!!!  Remember my beautiful sister Maggie’s maternity photos?  Well this little bundle arrived just 8 days after they were taken!!  She is absolutely perfect, I just can’t seem to get enough of her! Enjoy!

I had to include one of their bulldog Luna!

Okay, so I know that I always say I’m excited to share photos with you, and I am, but I am SUPER EXCITED to share Jessica and Jesse’s big day with you!!  I first met Jessica last May for her sister-session.  She is so sweet, so beautiful, and I have to say that I have never encountered a more excited bride.  Shortly after our session Jessica asked me to photograph her 2010 wedding.  I was thrilled!  They were the first 2010 couple to book Callie V Photography.  I look back on that day and get goosebumps thinking about how much my business and my photography have grown since.  I owe a lot of it to these two.  They have put so much faith in me, and have been unbelievable cheerleaders.

Their wedding was right out of a fairytale!  Every last detail was flawless, elegant and thoughtful.  Jessica and Jesse are so crazy in love and it shows every second that they’re together.  We all know that I’m a total softy and I tear up at some point during most weddings, but they managed to make my cry 3 times at theirs!!  Jessica, you are absolutely stunning, and you two sure know how to throw a party!!  Thank you for having so much faith in me, and for letting me capture this amazing day for you!!!  You guys rock my world!!

Meet Becky’s sister and Maid of Honor, Kelly. Bride-sister moments always melt my heart, but these two really take the cake!! Kelly was on the verge of tears all day, and it was so sweet to watch Becky trying to comfort her.
