15/02/2012 | Jenn + Barry | Wedding in Cancun, MX

Jenn, Barry, their family and closest friends celebrated their wedding in Cancun, Mexico last month.  We started with a beachy portrait session, continued with a Argentine steak-house rehearsal dinner and ended with a beautiful wedding.  There were 52 guests in total which meant by the end of the weekend we were all hanging out and I felt [...]

03/12/2010 | Bash For Breath | Sorry They Party

I wasn’t at this particular function, but I heard it was pretty tame.

24/03/2010 | Michelle’s 40th Birthday

While Matt was cutting the slopes or whatever people do on snowboards, KatherineJ, Lindsey and I popped over to Cafe Lurcat to document this surprise party. When the server peeked her head in to tell us that Michelle was coming through a different door, we all yelled SURPRISE! at the server and the birthday girl [...]

12/03/2010 | HUGE Theater Fundraiser

We’ve got major love for the folks at HUGE Theater.  Their fundraiser last week boasted a couple of our favorite celebrities and some of our cherished local improvisors. Of course, we didn’t actually talk to any of the famous people.  Matt has no excuse.  I’m an introvert.  Also, what do I say?  WHAT’S MY OPENER?! [...]

03/03/2010 | Gustilo Family Fun!

Tara, one of the Gustilos, was nice enough to ask me to tag along on her parents’ 50th wedding anniversary party. The one thing about this family is it was clear from the beginning that there are a lot of them. And also they truly enjoyed each other like a family should. They had slideshows [...]

14/09/2009 | It Was A Busy Weekend!

Max and Leah’s B’nai Mitzvot (Thank you to Louisa for the correction! (Mitzvah -> Mitzvot)) brought the house down at Seven Sushi in Downtown Minneapolis. More images coming soon from their crazy awesome party. In the meantime, I did love this frame from the service the afternoon before. [Not pictured: Max, Leah.]

You know it’s official when you change your Facebook status.  Kess and I got engaged today.  This is exciting. ** Edited to add: Image #1 by Riccis Valladares. Image #2 by Nicki Lou (Kess’ roommate).

26/06/2009 | Senior Portraits | Claire

And we’re back. You might get one more post out of our fantastic Guatemala experience, but we couldn’t wait to share this shoot from yesterday. Meet Claire. She’s a dancer and our first official senior of the summer. Welcome, Class of 2010. By all indications, you’re going to be gorgeous. We were outside in the [...]

28/05/2009 | 8 to a Lamp Fundraiser Photobooth!

Remember this? Fun fact: I was cropped out of the other side of that photo. This is the magic of photography, people. We raised $4300 (and some pint glasses) that night. Enjoy these images from our photobooth at Keeler’s 8 to a Lamp Kickoff Event Fundraiser Extravaganza: [flash http://www.mattblumphotography.com/blog/flash/052809.swf w=800 h=563 mode=1]

27/05/2009 | Paige’s Grad Party Photobooth!

How time flies. Am I right? Of course I am. (Ask Matt. He’s enjoying his “new invention,” the Coke Float.) Paige, one of our lovely seniors from last summer, will be graduating in June. Her mom (Hi, Annie!) called us in to get some extra fun images of their family and friends at Paige’s celebration. [...]
