Kimber and Tony

Tony and Kimber got married August 30.  Yes, we did ride a carousel (where I got yelled at for not holding on). Yes, we did line the boys up in front of the “Primates” sign (which seemed like the perfect place to line people up, even if it did mean I had to shoot into the sun). Yes, I did catch Kimber’s brother with an honest smile (even though he said I wouldn’t). And yes, this group knows how to par-tay. A solid Quad-fecta (is that a word?)… Score!

I’m trying a new blog image format… let me know what you all think of it vs the ‘old way’.

2008.08.02 – Kara and Ryan

Now this bunch knows how to have a good time! In honor of them, I present a super-sized blog post:

This was the first they saw of each other that day:

Yes, I did get a straight-on one of them too… but that’s why we have a blog, to showcase some pictures that are fun but might not otherwise get into a portfolio of some sort…  These two (Ring Bearer and Flower Girl) were super-fun with the camera…

Now I don’t normally dig on the cliche ‘jump’ shot… but when the maid-of-honor had a big cast on her leg, we simply HAD to do it:

The biggest wedding dip ever in the history of all dips… You could tell the practicing that we did during the engagement session paid off.

Again, maybe not something that’s going to get put in a wedding portfolio… but really? Look at the cake flying everywhere!  Funny that I post this, but not the tender moment when she helps clean the cake off his face and tux.  haha. 🙂

 

…. and thus ends my biggest wedding blog post yet.  Kara & Ryan, I hope you guys are having a GREAT honeymoon.  Congratulations again….

Weddings and computer troubles…

Sorry for the lack of updates.  I traveled to Denver last week, had a rehearsal dinner and wedding this last weekend (my first Jewish wedding… very cool… Congratulations to Jenny and Aaron!) and then came home to computer troubles, which I’ve spent the past 3-4 days resolving….so I haven’t had a lot of time to throw up posts here.

So, how about more of Rachel and Tom… a bakers dozen?… okay, good.

Rachel and Tom – only fools rush in

Tom and Rachel, after dating for roughly 7 years, finally tied the knot at the Cathedral of St. Paul this past Saturday.  Just some of the best people I’ve ever met.  As a fellow Johnnie (and her a Bennie) this one was particularly special to me. From the near-perfect weather, to the stunning venues, to great friends and beautiful people all around…It was a great day, everything just worked out fantastical (yes, even spell-check says that is a word! 🙂 ).  I wish them all the best and hope they know they can always call on me.

I’ve been traveling these past few days so it’s taken a while for me to take a peek at the images; as I get to look at them, I’ll put up more…  Stay classy. 😉

Sara and Brian

I shot with Jen Coleman today; a really fun wedding photographer friend of mine.  Sara and Brian got married today at St. Mary’s church in downtown St. Paul.  They were so unbelievably cool; the family, the bridal party, and all the guests were all extremely gracious.  It was a downright pleasure to be a part of their day.  Sara, in particular, was certainly one of the most emotive people I’ve ever met – good times, good times.  Oh, and aviators…  anyone with aviators automatically gets in two times the number of pictures they otherwise would. 🙂

A couple quick images I made before I head for a well-earned sleep:
