Nan And The Horses In Stillwater, Minnesota by Bradley Hanson

These photographs were made a month ago while visiting our friend Nan and her son at the family stable in Stillwater, MN. We had a wonderful time and our son, Oliver, was exposed to the joys of equine life, understanding the complex ways horses communicate and how to best understand them, and the care required to maintain these beautiful animals. Laura and Nan’s son, Todd, keep their two horses there, Hallie and Lula.

When I’m not photographing weddings, I’m either on my bike or shooting portraits. Lately, I have been shooting a lot more portraits, which is great because I don’t actively seek the work. I photograph family portraits, senior portraits, corporate events and even headshots for companies and Linked In profile photos, etc. Contact me at info@bradleyhanson.com or through the contact link of my website above to get a quote.

If you want to follow me on Instagram, I have two accounts: @bradleyhanson is my personal one, all square images from my iPhone since 2008. @bradleyhansonphotography is my professional portfolio, a mix of weddings, family and portraits, as well as black and white and color landscape images.

Kathryn And Sam's Outdoor Wedding At Camrose Hill Flower Farm in Stillwater, MN by Bradley Hanson

Kathryn and Sam got married at the lovely Camrose Hill Flower Farm in Stillwater, MN, about 30 minutes outside of Minneapolis. It was my first time there, but I fell in love with the secluded venue and most of all, the lovely light. The ceremony was outdoors in an area surrounded by trees, so the diffused light from above on the dark, windy morning was like a studio softbox. It’s a short distance from downtown Stillwater, but it feels like it could be anywhere. It’s a beautiful blank slate for an elegant wedding.

Camrose Hill Flower Farm is now one of my favorite wedding venues of all time, and I look forward to photographing my next wedding there.

Summer Wedding Season In Full Swing by Bradley Hanson

It's been a very busy summer with even more travel than usual. I was in Seattle for weddings and portraits 3 weekends in 5 weeks! My first priority is always getting images to clients as quickly as possible, but I'll be posting some more weddings in the coming days, as well as writing on another magazine article and portfolio for Olympus Passion Magazine while I'm also testing various Sony A7 cameras and Zeiss lenses. I'll be updating my portfolio(s) soon and featuring a couple weddings and portrait sessions in the blog. Until then, here are 30 images since my last major blog posting that aren't in any portfolio yet. Stay tuned...
