Studio Extended Family Photography | Raimova Family

By Joanna Carina

Studio Family Photographer

Lola contacted me in July. I had last worked with their family for portraits of them last year when they just had their sixth child, and now he was one year old and they wanted updates. Not to mention, both her mother were in town as well as her grandmother, so they wanted portraits of them all together. I was so excited to work with them again and see their little peanut growing up!

Extended Family Photoshoot

Lola and her family visited me a few weeks later with the whole family in tow. Their little peanut was very cooperative for photos, as well as the rest of the kiddos and family, and they all had a great time. After the session they stayed to choose their favorite photos and decide on their favorite artwork for the current session. Last year they chose a portrait box and wall artwork. This year they updated one of the canvases with the updated photo of their little guy, and also chose an album for all the new photos.

Thank You!

Thank you, Raimova family, for working with me for your extended family portraits. I had so much fun working with you, and I am thrilled that you love your album and wall art!

If you’d like to work together for your own extended family photography, give me a call or send me an email soon!

BONUS: Make sure to take a look at other extended family sessions I have photographed too, including Como Park extended family photos, another Como extended family session, an Apple Valley extended family photoshoot, Centennial Lakes extended family photoshoot, another studio extended family portrait session, and a Hmong extended family traditional dress portrait session.

Chinese Tea Ceremony Wedding Photos | Weiman + Spencer

By Joanna Carina

Como Chinese Tea Ceremony Wedding Photos

Weiman + Spencer were living out-of-state while planning their wedding day Chinese Tea Ceremony. I was so happy they chose me for their wedding photography. Their wedding event was held in St Paul’s Como Conservatory Sunken Garden. (I even love the Conservatory so much, I got married there myself!) They planned their event based on a traditional Chinese Tea Ceremony, and I was so excited!

Como Conservatory Wedding Photography

The day began with some photos of the two of them together around the grounds of Como Park. We then photographed them with their families prior to the ceremony. Once that was finished, we were able to head into the Sunken Garden for the big event.

Their wedding was officiated by one of their good friends. They incorporated the Tea Ceremony elements, honoring and thanking their families in the process. When all was finished, they had a few more minutes for Conservatory photos before heading off to their celebratory dinner, and then heading back to Washington to begin their new lives together.

Thank You!

Weiman + Spencer, thank you so much for working with me for your beautiful wedding photography! I had so much fun on your big day, and I wish you a lifetime of happiness!

BONUS: Take a look at other Como Conservatory weddings I photographed too, including Como Japanese Garden wedding photography, Sunken Garden wedding photographs, a North Garden wedding, a Sunken Garden wedding, a Covered Porch reception, another Covered Porch reception, another Sunken Garden wedding, another Sunken Garden wedding, a summertime Sunken Garden wedding, another Sunken Garden wedding, an evening Sunken Garden wedding, a morning Sunken Garden wedding, another Sunken Garden wedding, a winter Como Sunken Garden wedding, and another North Garden wedding too!

Rogers Lake Park Engagement Photos | James + Sam

By Joanna Carina

Rogers Lake Park Engagement Photography

James + Sam had chosen to work with me for their wedding photography, coming up in 2024. They were also really excited to include engagement photos beforehand. They chose to work at Rogers Lake Park in Mendota Heights MN. The park is where James had proposed to Samantha the year before. James even told me the story of his proposal, saying he was so nervous to ask Sam, and had bagged out of a few proposal options prior to finally asking her at this park. They especially wanted to photograph around the willow tree in the park, as that was where James finally proposed.

The day arrived with perfect weather. We opted for a morning photoshoot, so the park was totally empty. We were able to wander around, enjoying the trails, dock and water’s edge. We even photographed them on the skate park ramps and benches scattered around the park. They had so much fun, and agreed (as most clients do) that it really does get easier to be photographed once you try it out. They loved their photos, and now feel much more comfortable going into the photography on their big day. I’d call that a success!

Thank You!

James + Sam, thank you so much for working with me for your engagement photography! I had so much fun working with you two. And I’m so excited for your big day in 2024!

Hyland Hills Chalet Wedding Reception Photos | Nazanin + Jack

By Joanna Carina

Hyland Hills Chalet Reception

Nazanin + Jack were busy grad students living out-of-state. I was delighted to be chosen to capture their Minnesota wedding celebration. After the events of their first day’s celebration, they held a second, larger celebration the next day so they could include more family and friends who could not attend the first day.

Their wedding reception was held at Hyland Hills Chalet in Bloomington MN. The evening started with a cocktail hour to mingle and welcome guests. Then came a highlight of their event, the Persian Sofreh table, celebrating Nazanin’s family traditions, and filled with symbolic items representing blessings for their new life together. Afterward, speeches and toasts were given, as well as congratulatory cakes celebrating Jack’s grandmother’s birthday and mother’s birthday, as well as Jack’s father’s retirement. So many fun events to celebrate in one day!

Afterward, guests enjoyed an amazing dinner and dessert, as well as music and dancing, yard games and cocktails as guests celebrated the night away. Nazanin, Jack and I had a few minutes to sneak off through the Hyland grounds to capture a few last-minute photos of the two of them together before the night was up. The next morning they were off to move to Colorodo for their new home. What a whirlwind celebration!

Thank You!

Nazanin + Jack, thank you so much for working with me for your wedding celebration! I had so much fun working with you and your families. I wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Como Wedding + MN History Center Reception Photos | Nazanin + Jack

By Joanna Carina

Como Park Conservatory Wedding

Nazanin + Jack were busy grad school students living out of state. I was so delighted to be chosen to work with them for their two-day Minnesota wedding celebration in the spring, and worked closely with their families to plan for their event.

The first day began with Nazanin’s preparations in the L’Etoile Room at the Saint Paul Hotel while Jack was mingling with guests for the pre-ceremony cocktail hour at the Minnesota History Center nearby. Once everyone was ready, we all headed over to the Como Park Conservatory’s for their wedding ceremony in the Sunken Garden.

Nazanin + Jack’s ceremony was so beautiful! A string quartet serenaded them before they spoke their vows, and everyone was absolutely ecstatic for the two of them. They had their receiving line in the Palm Dome afterward, and then everyone headed back to the MN History Center for their dinner and celebration.

Minnesota History Center Reception

Once Nazanin + Jack arrived at the History Center, they had an amazing dinner followed by toasts and speeches, a few fun photos, and then their cake cutting. Afterward, guests enjoyed the dessert bar while dancing and sipping cocktails. The party really ramped up once the Persian dancing began, and everyone flooded the dance floor having a ball.

Thank You!

Nazanin + Jack, thank you so much for working with me for your wedding celebration! I had so much fun working with you and your families. Be sure to watch for the second day blog of their celebration, coming soon!

Wedding Photo Album Design MN | Carina Photographics

By Joanna Carina

Wedding Photo Album Designer

Today I wanted to spend some more time highlighting a few of my latest Premium wedding photo albums. I design luxury albums hand-crafted by Graphistudio! Graphistudio is one of the longest-running and most-prestigious wedding album artisans in the world. They were founded in Italy in 1982. The albums are handmade at their headquarters in Italy. Graphi has offices all over the world. Luckily, the US headquarters is right here in Minneapolis! These are a few of my latest designs for you to get a sense of their variety, customizability and craftsmanship.

Premium Wedding Album #1

Sarah + Eric’s wedding photo album is first. The box and album backing is created from anthracite gray Maple material, with its silky texture. I created a border design and type mimicking their wedding invitation. We printed the graphic and their names in gold foil, also taking cues from their wedding design. The album itself features a crystal clear cover and with gorgeous photo of Sarah and Eric from their first look atop the Endless Bridge at the Guthrie Theater, overlooking the Mississippi River. Their album paper is finished with a satin varnish, and the whole package is finished with a gorgeous satin ribbon.

Premium Wedding Album #2

Jordan + Elliot’s wedding photo album is next. Their box was created with the sage Maple material reminiscent of the beautiful wooden flowers custom-made for their big day. The box cover shows the simple name and date of their big day in a crisp font. Inside the box, we featured a photo of Jordan’s beautiful wooden flower bouquet. Then the album was covered with the crystal clear finish with photo of the two of them during their big day. We finished their album with a rich satin ribbon.

Premium Wedding Album #3

Last is Marcie + David’s wedding photo album. They wanted their album to be crisp and simple, using the wood color from their MN Landscape Arboretum wedding day. We utilized the biscuit-toned Maple material for both their album and box, along with a beautiful gold foil for elegance. The cover of the box also features some of the artwork taken from their wedding invitation, featuring a bird and tree illustration (they were married under the huge oak tree in the Grass Garden at the Arb.) We also finished their whole package with the elegant blue ribbon, another color featured during their big day.

Aster Cafe Wedding Photos | Ilse + Eugene

By Joanna Carina

Aster Cafe Wedding Photos

Ilse + Eugene held their wedding day at the Aster Cafe in Minneapolis. They started their preparation in the Redford Room upstairs above the Aster. Then once they were ready, they had their first look and couple photos outside at the riverfront in Father Hennepin Bluff Park. The fall colors were gorgeous, and the weather was perfect for their big day! We wandered around the St Anthony Main area taking photos, and they had so much fun together.

After we spent time photographing the two of them together, we headed back to the Aster to capture photos of them with their families right by the waterfront. Then, once we were finished, it was on to the big event!

Their ceremony was held inside the tent on the Aster Cafe patio. Everything went perfectly! Once their ceremony was done, we headed indoors for their wedding reception inside the Aster’s River Room.

Aster Cafe Wedding Reception

Their Aster Cafe River Room reception was filled with amazing music by an awesome R&B band, along with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres. The initial party was followed up with a fabulous dinner catered by the Aster Cafe, then toasts and speeches. Afterward, they had their first dance and father-daughter dance, and then danced and partied the night away! Everyone had a blast!

Thank You!

Ilse + Eugene, thank you so much for working with me for your wedding photography! I had so much fun on your big day. I wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Landscape Arboretum Wedding Photography | Libby + Abe

By Joanna Carina

Minnesota Landscape Arboretum Wedding Photos

Libby + Abe were planning to get married at the MN Landscape Arboretum, and I was so excited to be back at one of my favorite venues. They planned a small ceremony at the Prairie Garden pergola for immediate family, and then a larger reception at the Snyder Auditorium.

After they were ready, we spent some time capturing their portraits around the Arboretum grounds. Then we headed out to the big event on Three Mile Drive. A little drizzle graced their event, but nothing we couldn’t handle! Once their ceremony was over, we captured a few more photos of the two of them alone, and then headed to the Snyder Auditorium for the big party!

Snyder Auditorium Wedding Reception

Their reception started with a cocktail hour, then dinner, desserts, and finally a wild dance party capped off the night. The dance floor was packed, and everyone had a blast and they partied well into the night!

Thank You!

Libby + Abe, thank you so much for working with me for your wedding photography! I had so much fun on your big day. I wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Como Conservatory Wedding Photography | Tara + Matt

By Joanna Carina

Como Sunken Garden Wedding Photos

Tara + Matt’s wedding day started out a bit drizzly. Luckily, it didn’t last long. Once they held their first look in the Sunken Garden, the rain was over so we could make it outside for pre-ceremony photos of them and their families and wedding party. Everything was so beautiful!

Their wedding ceremony was held in St Paul’s Como Conservatory Sunken Garden. (I love the Conservatory so much, I got married there myself!) By the time their ceremony was over, we were able to capture some photos of the two of them in the Sunken Garden alone during sunset – it was absolutely incredible! I don’t think I’ve ever seen the lighting as perfect as it was that night.

Ordway Garden Reception Photography

Following their sunset photos, we headed over to the Ordway Garden for their reception. They had so much fun! They had a cocktail hour followed by a buffet dinner, and then they all danced away into the night. There was non-stop laughter and everyone had a ball dancing away into the night!

Thank You!

Tara + Matt, thank you so much for working with me for your beautiful wedding photography! I had so much fun on your big day, and I wish you a lifetime of happiness!

Sunken Garden Wedding Photography | Kathleen + Jon

By Joanna Carina

Como Park Sunken Garden Wedding Photography

Kathleen + Jon were getting married at the Como Conservatory Sunken Garden. (I love it so much, I got married there myself!) Their September day was so gorgeous, with perfect temps and stunningly blue skies.

We started with a first look right as they arrived at Como Park. They were so excited, and it was so fun to see how happy they were together! We followed up with photos with their wedding party as well as their families. After the photos, it was on to the big event.

Their ceremony took place in the Marjorie McNeeley Conservatory just before dusk. Everything was so gorgeous! Once their ceremony was done, the guests left for the reception while we remained behind to get a few photos of them inside the Sunken Garden. Afterward we headed outside to get some beautiful sunset photos before they were off to the Rainforest Room to celebrate the night away.

Thank You!
