The 29th | Jack + Caroline | Brother And Sister for Like 14 Years

Jack is going to be a senior this year, Caroline is not, but will be someday. We are just on the brink of portrait-mania as we have – no joke – 40 sessions in the next month. That’s a lot for Matt Blum Photography. Perhaps Matt Blum Photography needs to spend less time on blog [...]

The 29th | Meet the Kamps

This wonderful family and I spent a couple hours together making photographs. They were super fun, and we found a bunch of cool spots to shoot. The guy in the black and white photo (that isn’t actually part of their family) referred the Kamp family to me.   (Maybe he will be.  No pressure.  Who said [...]

The 20th | Jessica + Matt | It Rained, They Still Got Married!

The award for the most awesomest 4 minute ceremony ever goes to… Jessica + Matt, the first people I’ve ever photographed in the pouring rain. It was fine all day but then, just as the ceremony was about to begin, the skies opened up and that was that. To dry off we stopped by the [...]

The 12th | Hannah | Senior Portraits

We had the most beautiful day to shoot today. Although it was a bit windy, we managed to take refuge and get some shots without hair in her face. Hannah is pretty much the most smiley and bubbly person you could imagine, but I managed to finagle a few other looks as well. Here’s a [...]

The 8th | Wedding Weekend Part 2 | Naomi + Matt

Wow. Over 500 people made it to Naomi and Matt’s grand celebration at the downtown Marriott on Sunday. We had a 3 photographer team that consisted of myself, Katy Kessler on the portrait station, and Marc Andrew, the man, the legend. Three of Minneapolis’ finest and most likable (according to us) wedding photographers meant sweet [...]

The 6th | Wedding Weekend Part 1 | Fiona + Mark

What a beautiful day for shooting! We were blessed with amazing weather today and we made the most of it. Fiona + Mark were married at the Nicollet Island Pavillion in St. Anthony Main. I have another wedding tomorrow, so a quick shot to the blog and I’m out!

The 2nd | Senior Season Has Begun!

I’m so excited to finally get back to shooting seniors. It’s such a fun group of people to photograph because they’re at a cool point in life where they’re still down for pretty much anything. Also a couple things happened to me today that made me realize how lucky I am to have the clients [...]
