Wedding
2 Comments
Amanda and Kevin got married this last Sunday; their wedding was at in the Sunken Garden in Como Park and their reception was held just across the way at the Pavilion. That alone made it the best smelling wedding yet (yes, smelling). Add to that: No bridal party; 45-person guest list; no dance; and a video game as the evening’s entertainment.
What came out was a crazy-unique wedding that was a blast to photograph – and (looked like) even more fun to be a guest of. Everyone was having a raucous great time, getting down with their bad selves… a great time for some really great people. I just had to blog it.
Amanda and Kevin were so easy-going, friendly, and laid back, it was awesome. They knew they wanted their wedding to be fun; they knew they weren’t “dancers” – so they rolled their own unique style. Very cool, I love it when people make things their own.
Plus, the fact they were into smoochin’ about every 4 seconds… we’ll, lets just say I captured my share of lip-locks. 
I couldn’t be happier for them.
Now, even though I fear breaking the internet, here comes a big’ole’blog’post…. prep yourselves.

Photographed a really unique wedding yesterday at Como Park in St. Paul, Minnesota. This image couldn’t be more appropriate for the evening… it’ll all make sense later.
(plus, “Rock” by the rocks and “band” by the band… cummon!)

1 Year ago today I made the best purchase of my life; by far. (Read that blog post from then, before he even had a name!)
I’m planning a uber-Kona year-in-review post… but for now, this one photograph alone tells the story of the day I got him.
Puppies spend 7-9 weeks with their ‘dog family’ and the breeder before being picked up. On ‘pick up day’ we were last in line to select (this guy is a responsible breeder who only breeds a litter when he’s got MORE than enough people to take all the pups — and even then limits the number of litters so the female dog gets a normal life too), we only got Kona because he had a herniated umbilical and no one else wanted him for fear of issues.
So here he is, saying goodbye to the human family that he played with for the first 8 weeks, and saying goodbye to his momma for the last time (note the dog pounding on the fence in the background is the mother… she just lost all her other children in the past 24 hours — and this was on Mother’s Day 2008… I’m so evil!) as he walked to the car for the ride home to his new family.
… where he’s proven to be one of the best dogs EVA!!!
