Welcome to the Rivets & Roses blog. My name is Brandon, I am captain of the ship, leader of the lost boys, and author of this blog.
For those of you who don't know me, photography is my girlfriend. This blog is an opportunity for me to hearten you with the things I have seen with my eyes and captured in time.
Please follow me on twitter and @reply me so that I know who you are :) Cheers!
Justin & Danielle tied the knot on May 15th. Their day was just as beautiful as I imagined it would be and more. They are seriously SO in love with each other, it is amazing watching them interact. There were a lot of happy tears and a lot of smiles. I couldn’t have asked for a better couple to shoot.
Here I go, scream my lungs out and try to get to you
You are my only one
I let go, but there’s just no one that gets me like you
You are my only, my only one
Paul & Katie are an absolutely a-mazing couple! They recently had a little baby boy named Preston, I took one photo of him and he started crying immediately! I didn’t know if he was afraid of my beard or of the camera. Either way he warmed up significantly as the day went on. You will also notice Katie’s amazing smile, honestly it’s probably one of the best in the twin cities. Paul is such a nice guy I can’t imagine there is anyone who doesn’t like him. Together they make a perfect pair.

I want to start off by saying never in my life have I sweat so much during an engagement session! I also want to thank Matt & Anna for such a wonderful day at Taylor’s Falls. Matt & Anna are self proclaimed NERDS! Which is why we get along so well. We spent the day hiking at Taylor’s Falls with their little dog Chuck (who comes all the way from Africa). Matt is a teacher, and Anna is just finishing up veterinary school. They have a supreme love for the outdoors and adventure, thus why we decided Taylor’s would be a great place for a session. They both LOVE climbing and as you will see, we touched the river and the sky all in one day.
They will see us waving from such great
Heights, ‘come down now,’ they’ll say,
But everything looks perfect from far away,
‘come down now,’ but we’ll stay…

After our session Matt & Anna bought me to a malt shop! And it got ice cream stuck in my beard.
