Katie & Jon were married on July 3, 2009 at the Minnesota History Center. I’ll post a regular sneak peak post in a few days, but in the meantime, I loved this photo of them and the Taste of Minnesota fireworks!

I had the pleasure of shooting for 1 Fine Day Photography in early June for this lovely couple, who didn’t let a rainy day put a damper on their gorgeous wedding at the Reidel Farm Estate in Anoka, Minnesota.
See the 7 minute slideshow on 1 Fine Day’s Facebook page!
Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing Ben, just a week after his third birthday. This was a fun session we did his Edina backyard. That meant there were lots of toys to play with. Ben showed off his spiderman scooter:
We played some golf and Ben took a few pictures too. He made a few wardrobe changes to appear as Batman and a construction worker.
I seriously want to rent out this perfectly shaded yard for all of my sessions …
And Ben did a great job posing with his newborn sister, Eva. There’s more of her here from a few weeks back:
What a fun morning! It was great to hang out with you again, Ben.
I am so happy announce that I have become involved in a local organization called the Independent Wedding Association. The IWA is a collection of Twin Cities wedding professionals that demonstrate value, creative flair, and a true love of weddings. I’m posting this information here because the IWA is seeking new members.
If you know someone who is dedicated to quality wedding service, creativity, and is locally owned, let me know, or encourage them to apply! The fair will be February 2010 at the awesome Five Event Center in Uptown, and there will be lots of other benefits to membership in the mean time.
I had the honor of photographing the B’nai Mitzvah of twins Faye and Ben in early June. The ceremony was held at Temple of Aaron in St. Paul, Minnesota.
The reception was held in Minneapolis at the lovely Cafe Lurcat. They had two caricature arts on hand to draw fantastic portraits for all the guests. It was a big hit!
We took advantage of the perfect summer evening and took extended family portraits across the street in Loring Park.
The DJ kept all the kids dancing in the upstairs of Cafe Lurcat all night:
Everyone gathered to watch a super cute slideshow of family photos:
The night ended with a dance of the Hora:
Mazel tov, Faye & Ben! It was an honor to join in your celebration.
Before I start this post, I want to offer an apology for the delay in posting this sneak peak. In between shooting this wedding and today, both my computer AND the external harddrive where I store all of my photos crashed in separate incidents. My computer was sent back to Apple for a new logic board and other tweaks. My external harddrive seems to just be toast. BUT, all of my images are backed up, both at my home and off-site. So while I lost over a week of processing time, I did not lose any client images. I’m so thankful for that!
And now on to this gorgeous wedding that took place on May 30, 2009 up in Motley, Minnesota. When we met for a pre-wedding consult, just two weeks before the wedding, Shannon said I wouldn’t miss the church. ”Just turn right at the Dairy Queen.” I love small towns!
I loved Shannon’s birdcage veil. Isn’t she gorgeous?
Even though it looked pretty nice outside, it was also quite windy and chilly, so we took formal portraits inside the church before the ceremony.
A quick toast before the ceremony!
After the ceremony, we headed over to the next-town-over, Staples, to take pictures around the Staples Depot. I absolutely adored this location!
Then it was off to the Pine Ridge Country Club in Motely for the reception.
Congratulations again, Jerrod & Shannon!
