New Studio!

Erica Loeks — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 17:05:33 +0000

I’m absolutely thrilled to be in my new studio space within the Semple Mansion in South Minneapolis!

The Semple Mansion is one of the most popular historic mansions in Minneapolis and recently won MN Bride’s 2010 Top of the Tiara award! Within the Semple Mansion are a few wedding vendors; Posh Bridal Couture, Floral Logic and Pomp and Ceremony Wedding planning.

Within the space I will now be meeting clients in is Paperista, owned by Antoinette Ramos and Table 6 Productions, by Stephanie Johnson.

Paperista is a stationary and design boutique. Antoinette has the most amazing paper options for wedding, social and baby and I absolutely love her aesthetic!

Table 6 Productions is run by Stephanie Johnson and helps brides and grooms plan their wedding day with amazing details!

I hope you will be able to stop by and check out the new studio, drink some champagne and view some photographs, order your stationary, and talk through your wedding day details!

Multi-tasking with Twins

Erica Loeks — Tue, 03 Aug 2010 16:14:26 +0000

These little sweethearts came a little early, arriving healthy and happy! I love how this mom and dad team multi-tasked the shoot like pros. I photographed the mom and dad while the twins were still growing. Click here to view her pregnancy shots. I’m absolutely thrilled to be photographing this lovely family for the next year, documenting the lives of these miracle babies! Thank you for a wonderful shoot!

Sarah & Nick

Sarah & Nick were married on one of the hottest, humid and beautiful days Minnesota has had to offer so far!

Sarah floated in a satin/lace gown that seemed to be made for her! Bridesmaids wore a shade of blue that noticeably carried the summer setting beautifully!

Nick and the groomsmen remained dapper in gray tuxes!

Thank you so much for including me in your special day!

‘Today is a New Day’

The sun is shining, the sky is blue

There’s a new day dawning for me and you

With every dawning of the sun

New possibilities have just begun

With every breaking of the morn

Fresh opportunities are newly born.

Robert Frost

Lovely

Erica Loeks — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 19:20:13 +0000

Love is more thicker than forget

more thinner than recall

more seldom than a wave is wet

more frequent than to fail

It is most mad and moonly

and less it shall unbe

than all the sea which only

is deeper than the sea

Love is less always than to win

less never than alive

less bigger than the least begin

less littler than forgive

it is most sane and sunly

and more it cannot die

than all the sky which only

is higher than the sky

e. e. cummings

Amazing

Nick & Sarah, thank you for being such troopers in the humidity! Have a wonderful honeymoon!
