emily + warren – married august 22nd, 2009

08.26.2009 – 9:07 am

emily & warren were a fantastic couple to work with. i had never met them both in person before their wedding day as all of our communication had been over email and the phone because they both currently live in washington DC. emily grew up in north dakota and decided to have their wedding just outside of pelican rapids near pelican lake in northwestern minnesota. so it was a little bit of a drive up for me, but not too bad by any means.

we were truly blessed with a fantastic day weather-wise last saturday and we definitely took advantage of it. they had their wedding ceremony at the cutest little lutheran church that seemed to be out in the middle of nowhere. it was all by itself with nothing surrounding it but fields and lakes, but just the cutest little church. and then for their reception, they had it at emily’s aunt and uncle’s lake home on pelican lake. what a beautiful setting!

kirsten + darrin – married august 8th, 2009

kirsten & darrin had their wedding last saturday at a nice little church in bloomington that i last photographed a wedding at a few years ago. its funny how sometimes you don’t realize that you’ve photographed somewhere until you get there and it all comes back.

their had their casual reception at a really cool dance studio near loring park. it had really great ambiance and of course a fantastic dance floor. what a perfect space!

smith family cabin – august 2009

08.07.2009 – 8:02 pm

i just got back from a couple days with the smith family up at a little vacation they were having at a cabin on a lake in northern wisconsin. this is basically my girlfriend’s sisters and their kids, and all together she has 6 nieces and 1 nephew. needless to say i have a lot of catching up to do with only 1 nephew myself! :) but they’re a pretty cute bunch and they even wore some tie-dye shirts that i made back when i was 18 (which believe me, was a LONG time ago!). so we had a little photo session and had some fun with it too. some of the kids are pretty darn cute and some of them are a little goofy… i’ll let you be the judge. ;)

laura + joe – married august 1st, 2009

08.05.2009 – 3:30 pm

so now the day after darcy & mike’s wedding, i was back in the twin cities to photograph laura & joe’s wedding. they had their ceremony at a lovely catholic church in eden prairie and then had their reception downtown at windows on minnesota. in between we spent a little time and had some fun with them and their wedding party downtown outside.

what a fun group! i think all of the groomsmen and the groom were former football players at the University of Wisconsin and then all of the bridesmaids and the bride were dancers, and boy did they have a good time! as a result, so did i! :)

darcy + mike – married july 31st, 2009

08.04.2009 – 2:10 pm

darcy & mike’s wedding started a pretty busy weekend for me with two weddings in a row. that in-and-of-itself is not all that uncommon, but darcy & mike’s wedding wasn’t in the twin cities. it was about 4 hours north of the twin cities actually in a little town about 40 minutes northwest of bemidji! both darcy & mike live just outside of minneapolis now, but they both grew up just outside of bemidji and so they had their wedding at darcy’s family church and then the reception was across the street in the community center. it was actually quite nice and they did a fabulous job. we were able to walk around town a bit and capture a little bit of that old small town feel for their wedding too.
