  • Viveria: vĭv-air-ē-ă

    Viveria is a compilation, a sense, a feeling, of the words vivé and aria. Viveria is our vision; a vision of celebrated life; the good, the wonderful, the beautiful, the mundane, the extraordinary, the divine. Everyone’s life has a rhythm, a rhyme, a melody; whether your personality is a calculated waltz, a free-form jazz, a simply country melody or even a spicy salsa, your life is worth celebrating, enjoying, and living to the fullest! We want this name, who we are, and our business to join in the celebration of lives lived. Welcome, enjoy the images you see live life to the fullest!

I always love live music at a dance, but this was awesome! The band that played was Alex Rossi and the Root City Band…the group that Dan also plays with. Dan and Shannon have the most talented friends! They had guest musicians joining them through out the evening – Amazing!

Adam and Kate – engaged!

Posted in Engagement

Here is a post for the lovely Kate and Adam…what fun they were to work with! We met up with them at Lake of the Isles in Minneapolis. It is one of their favorite spots to go walking together so they thought it would make a great location for their engagement pictures. Turns out, they were right! Kate was so creative and brought a set of fantastic props to use through the session. Here are a few favorites from the evening!

Billy and Robyn – engaged!

Posted in Engagement

Robyn and Billy met as coworkers, tried to set each other up with friends, but ended up falling in love with each other! We met up with them in the St. Anthony Main area for their engagement session. It was kind of a chilly, cloudy day, but Robyn promised us that they would bring the smiles…and did they ever! We had lots of fun; I love when you can see so much joy and happiness sparkel between two people! Here are a few of our favorites from the session:
