Spirited Photography by Mycah

Welcome to 2012! New Year's Wedding in New Ulm, MN

2012-01-09T12:41:00.000-08:00

It began a mild-weather day for this wintery New Year's Eve (2011) wedding, which made for some comfortable moseying around in downtown New Ulm. All spirits were in good order as Justina & Mark geared up for their big moment at the local cathedral.

They exchanged vows at the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity. Following this, they -along with the bridal party- headed 'in style' down the streets of smalltown New Ulm to a quaint main-street destination decorated holiday style for some *post-Christmas* (i.e. cascading garlands coming from the sky) photos!

The night ended at a very unique location which offered the ambiance of a spa, complete with waterfall and calming aromas. Top this off with a beautiful golden dessert table at the back, and you have quite a lovely night ahead of you.

Below are some of the photos I captured, telling the story of this unique Minnesota New Year's Eve wedding.

River Wedding on the Grand Duchess, WI!

2011-11-25T17:32:00.000-08:00

In the warm month of October, of this year, I had the opportunity to go boating across the St. Croix River for a Fall wedding.

It couldn't have been a more beautiful day, or sunset as the evening drifted on.

It was on deck that Katie & Terry wed, amidst their closest friends and family members.

Then down below, celebrations were held where everyone danced to their hearts

content.

It was an exciting day.*

From the Bride: "‎.....and the wedding pictures are in!!! So exciting....I am on #218 of 1,201 pictures and I am already absolutely amazed!! Mycah SchraderPhotography is simply AMAZING!!"

I had the opportunity to photograph a wedding for a friend, and it took place

Sunset Engagement shoot in Faribault, MN - With a Vintage Flair

2011-08-12T21:10:00.000-07:00

My couple arrived just in time for the sunlight's drift down from the sky.

It was Sunset,.. or just about to be.

We started out in downtown Faribult where all of the quaint shops are, next to some beautiful burgundy columns and red-potted flowers. Some close ups were taken, and then it was time to head away to the river to do our "real" shoot. That was just a warm up!!

The Canon River, was the destination. It was sunset, and light was dipping

slow against the glass of the water. My couple lined up against the tall grasses and wild flowers that we found, and began to interact. I photographed their interactions and caught their subtle laughter in between. Then we headed down towards the water.

They propped themselves up against a tree trunk, and relaxed for the song in

the breeze. Justina, my bride, rested up against her groom's shoulder and took a moment.

"Click click click..." I did.

Then down to the water they went to dance and kick up their heels, as the reflecting power of the water bounced light all over Mark's hair....

I could hardly stop it.

It was then time to have Justina change into her vintage-like dress, and inspire some all too simple, but classic- shots by the railroad.

Last, it was off to the railroad bridge a walk from where we were!

Just in time for the final bit of sun to set.~

I am happy with the way the shots turned out. Thanks to Justina and

Mark for making everything look classic, and... for choosing me!

Client testimonial: "Thank you sooo much Mycah SchraderPhotography! I couldn't be happier with the photos!"

July Wedding at the Crux Church in Faribault, MN

2011-08-08T21:55:00.000-07:00

The day began warm and sunny,.. and ended on a warm note as well, thanks to this July's amazing heat!

Katie and Eric arrived in good spirits for their day, and carried their good spirits with them continuously. All who arrived could tell this couple was a great pair together.

Pastor Steve from the River Church in Faribault, MN provided the sermon as well as stories of Katie and Eric coming together. He made the crowd laugh with his stories, while also reflecting on God's Word and promises regarding marriage. All who attended prayed for a final blessing before pronouncing Katie & Eric husband and wife.

Everyone was dancing to the Lion King music!..... and other songs filled with child-like wonder before I left for the night (while munching on white cupcakes)... a truly sweet ending!

Prints can be ordered at:

Minneapolis Sculpture Garden Engagement Shoot!

2011-07-07T17:57:00.000-07:00

What beautiful times, ....beautiful days,.. are spent at the Minneapolis

Sculpture Garden. How intriguing to imagine what each piece, each

sculpture is speaking. How does it carry the imagination off..

Well this couple carried my imagination away! in between the sculptures

where we found ourselves playing with concepts.

Lots of *color*, some pine needles,... and violet flowers brightened

up the entire shoot.

Thanks Keelan and Brenda for bringing your light spirits to

the shoot. You made for some glowing photographs.

Country House Wedding in Waconia, MN

2011-06-30T10:30:00.000-07:00

Another beautiful summer's day came, and it was decorated country style!~

Details, Details, and more details of sweet reflections were visions everywhere

around this country scene, for the bride and groom.

This wedding took place out in between farms and forests

in Waconia, MN. Everyone was preparing the details, including mojito mix!

and lit pathways leading up to the barn and tent where the bride and groom were to

have their first dance and make toasts with their family and friends.

As the bride prepared, I caught the groom writing a note to his bride.

It was quiet and reflective, a moment everyone deserves before they

step foot in front 0f their closest friends and family to exchange vows.

Following the groom's note, I found the bride doing the same in

the bedroom upstairs..

Once the ceremony and "At Last" song began, the minister -a friend

of the bride's- began the ceremony.

It was laughter and tears, followed by more tears,.... of happiness.

Thrilling for everyone to see.

Then off to the reception everyone went~

Thank you to the bride and groom for choosing me to capture

your incredible day! It was so beautiful.

Photos will be orderable within 2 weeks so check back

An Elegant Wedding at the Episcopal Chapel of the Good Shepard

2011-06-20T14:50:00.000-07:00

The rain let up and the power of summer confidence in love... came in..

This wedding day started at the Sunset Salon in Faribault, and continued on from

there to the GrandStay, where the ravishing bride put on her finishing touches...

A gorgeous gown and some glittery modern-day shoes later, she was set~!

Off we went to the Bachrach Lofts in downtown Faribault for some unique

formals in an old downtown alleyway. The girls felt the wind blow through

the alleyway ..... -at their black evening gowns- as as they smelled their flowers

and danced to the music of the wind, making for some interesting pictures!

After that, it was off to Get Married ! ......... For the bride and groom anyway..

They headed to the Episcopal Chapel of the Good Shepard at Shattuck

St. Mary's. Following their vows and few happy tears,... everyone headed back down

to the Bachrach Loft for hors d'oeuvres, gourmet chocolates and vino.

Everything was very well done at this wedding and I was thrilled

to be able to capture its unique flavors.

Thanks to Megan and Mike for choosing me, and to my 2nd shooter Jennifer Whalen ~!

Retro-Hip Engagement Shoot

2011-04-05T14:11:00.000-07:00

This classic, city-meets-small-town couple, was a great subject for my recent engagement shoot!~ They provided such a unique flair for the photographic eye, with a sentiment for reminiscent art and hip vintage romance~*

We scoured the town with interest in capturing the more "vintage" feel my couple was interested in, as it would showcase their unique sense of compatibility- the artistic and

hands on functionality (for old car and metal pieces). After trying various locations in the cold of an early April morning, we came upon a seemingly hidden side of town with unique backdrops, filled with rustic metal scraps that the groom to be was more than familiar with. I found it all perfect for juxtaposing their personalities against. What resulted, were some wondrous images I'm happy to share with you, and offer my couple~*

Posh Bridal Couture & Brett Dorrian Artistry Runway show

2011-03-14T15:01:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I photographed a bridal fair, runway show at the Semple Mansion in Minneapolis, MN. Brett Dorrian Artistry joined forces with Posh Bridal Couture of Minneapolis, for a couture runway show, and I captured the preparations and show.

Vendors from the Twin Cities came with their most beautiful displays to share with brides and grooms. Appetizers, and drinks were served as each guest arrived into the grand main entrance of the Semple Mansion. The place was aglow.~

It was a year ago, the same day, that I photographed a wedding here, what a small world!~

Thank you Brett for having me.

Bella Bridal Boutique, Bride tries on dresses!~

2011-01-18T09:49:00.000-08:00

Last weekend I assisted a friend in search of her perfect

wedding dress!

We headed out to Bella Bridal Boutique in Woodbury, MN

and awaited our appointment time before we began to

meander through aisles of white satin and lace.

Each dress that sparked an interest or reserved a question...

were tagged for the dress attendant to take to her dressing room.

My friend, the bride to be, laced herself up and scurried out

in each one toward the pedestal where she would stand to view

herself before us.

I took shots of the ones I thought might want to be remembered,

or even... could be 'The One'!

A Wintery Horse Ride

2010-12-19T16:37:00.000-08:00

This was the fourth Christmas Portrait Session I've done, this one being quite possibly the most unique.

Held at a ranch, the owner groomed her horse 'Mystic' and prepared him for a brave ride out in the winter cold. I captured each tiny moment that I could get, and let her ride in peace for a bit while I warmed up in between shoots!**

What a fun session. I really love horses.

Client's testimony:

"Mycah we love these! and we have not even seen them all yet! be sure tell everyone how COLD it was yesterday and the harsh conditions we forced you to endure!! :-)"

Kayla & Jeremiah Tie the Knot during the Blizzard!

2010-12-15T07:18:00.000-08:00

Testimony from this wedding! :

MYCAH!!! You did such a good job! I LOVE THEM!!! People are already asking how they can get some, because they want to order some. Once again very happy with your work,

This wedding took place in Wyoming, MN at the outset of a blizzard,

-the biggest of the year so far-,.. and of many other years past.

I arrived thru a driveway of thick snow, -with a driver who could

plow right on thru it- and leave me at the closest point to the door! I

quickly began taking shots of the snow, and the adornments the

couple had set up for their guests before others

miraculously arrived from in from the white haze that was outside!

Soon everyone arrived, short of a few people who couldn't make

it because of the surprise weather, but everything carried out

beautifully indoors! Lots of fun and smiles.

What a great couple, with lots of heart to share with their

friends who could make it!

N2 Publications and the 318 Cafe

2010-11-16T22:20:00.000-08:00

I joined forces with N2 Publications for the Deephaven community

newsletter to journal a 318 Cafe tasting on a quaint, solemn tuesday night.

We tasted several courses which ranged from salad, to sandwiches and pizza,

all the way up to fine desserts!

(Notice the carrot cake, flourless chocolate cake, and lemon pie images down below!)

Each bite was magnificent- Such scrumptious, delicately-flavored food.

Everything to me was what I call 'eye brow raisingly good,' ......especially the carrot cake,

which to my surprise, was the best carrot cake I had ever tasted~!

http://www.three-eighteen.com/

Note: The restaurant is not only a fine restaurant, but a cafe and entertainment

destination for quality music!

The palette cleanser.

The 'taste testers.'

A uniquely arrayed pizza creation complete with: bacon and apple slices.

The personable service..... the owner!

(My favorite pizza of the night).

Ridiculously -good- carrot cake, and dreamy flourless chocolate dessert.

Love the interior style of this gorgeous store.

Shanna & Rob

2010-08-25T14:29:00.000-07:00

I met up with Shanna and Rob at their home at the commencement of our session.

We went through clothing options and pondered a location for our shoot.

It was decided that St. Anthony Main would be a nice location for their sunset Engagement photos.

Indeed it was! The two of them spent the entire time together laughing, talking, and enjoying one another. It was not difficult to capture them in perfect emotion, and get some beautiful backgrounds in the process.
