The day went absolutely smooth and everyone had a blast. Thanks for letting me be part of your day Katie and Tad!
Katie and Tad
Katie and Tad were married on a COLD day in late December. So cold in fact that I think one of the groomsmen still has his tongue stuck to a flagpole. They were married in a small church in Plymouth and the reception was at the Grand Hotel in DT Minneapolis. And as the name states, it's quite nice.
The day went absolutely smooth and everyone had a blast. Thanks for letting me be part of your day Katie and Tad!

A Starry Night
So Katie and Tads theme was "A Starry Night" and their cake was spectacular. I don't have the name of it's creator right now, but I'll be sure to add their name to give credit where it's due when I have it.
Blaine vs. Wayzata State Championship
Blaine's dream season ended Friday night with a loss to the Wayzata Trojans at the Metrodome. It seemed the Bengals just couldn't find a rhythm and Wayzata pulled away with their strong passing game and the quickness of their defense.
Congratulations to Blaine on a great season, and congratulations to Wayzata on their championship.

Nick and Colleen
Nick and Colleen were blessed with a beautiful day and Colleen was stunning! Her dress and hair were beautiful and reminded everyone of a young Katherine Hepburn. I won't quote what Pip told Nick before seeing her, but he basically told him he'll like what he sees, and from what I could tell, Nick did.
The ceremony was at St. Stan's in St. Paul and the reception was at the Wabasha Street Caves. Fortunately for me, the ceremony was very brightly light, but not so much for the Caves. Let's just say, I earned my keep that night.
From what I can tell, everyone liked the video I had going at the reception, which is what you see here, but I didn't have the info to direct people to where they can view the images online. To see all of the images from Nick and Colleen's wedding go Here . Currently there are only engagement photos on there (give me a few weeks to process the wedding images and to get them uploaded), but you will be able to sign up for the guestbook. This will give you a $5 gift card for any purchases you may want and you will be notified when the photos are available.
Congratulations Nick and Colleen and thanks for letting me be part of your day.

Marc and Lindsay
I was fortunate to shoot Lindsay's brother Aaron's wedding a couple years back and I was glad to be part of Lindsay's wedding as well. Lindsay and Marc live out in Seattle so most of the weddings planning was done their parents and when seeing the results, they did a great job. The church had a bank of beautiful windows right behind the alter, which makes my job tougher, but gave a beautiful view of the lake just behind. Take a look at the video below to see how much fun they had and the love they have for each other.
Congratulations, Marc and Lindsay, and thanks for letting me be part of your day!

Britni and Jeremy
Britni and Jeremy were great and we were blessed with a beautiful day. Britni looked gorgeous and Jeremy was quite dapper himself. The ceremony was at the First Lutheran Church of Crystal and the reception was at the Northland Inn in Brooklyn Park.
The ceremony was very nice and the church was filled to the rafters with all of Britni and Jeremy's family and friends. After the ceremony, the wedding party went down to Augsburg College where the couple first met. We got some great shots in front of the Augsburg sign where they first kissed. (Ok, the original so was gone but we faked it well.)
Then we headed back to the reception where the party lasted well into the night. Overall it was a perfect day and Britni and Jeremy were great to work with. Thanks for letting me be part of your day.
So indulge me a minute, because Britni and Jeremy's wedding was unique for me. Not that it'll matter to many of you but this was a really fun wedding for me personally.
I was contacted by Jeremy when he got my name from my cousin, Julie, who cuts his hair. He and Julie grew up across the street from each other and their families are really close. So I met with Jeremy and Britni and they decided to use me as their photographer.
When we met, just out of curiosity, I asked them if they had a florist yet. Britni told me that they were planning to use a woman who used to be a neighbor of hers and she does great work. Ok, well I show up at the church and her former neighbor is my other cousin Amy. Amy had no idea that Julie or I were connected to this wedding (Julie also did Britni's hair that morning), and it was quite the surprise for all of us. PLUS, in addition to all that, Jeremy's dad and MY next door neighbor growing up, Sharon, are first cousins. So Sharon and her husband Art were also there.
So in total, with all of the connections to the bride and groom, I knew 16 people at this wedding. I can honestly say, it was a unique situation, but one that I really enjoyed. Thanks again for letting me be part of your day!

Monticello HS Homecoming
I was asked to shoot the Monticello Magic vs Roger Royals high school football game for the Monticello Press newspaper. These are the images that I sold to them, so they own the rights. Some of which were put in the paper, I'm just not sure which.
Unfortunately for the Magic, the Royals spoiled the homecoming with a decisive win, but it didn't seem to ruin the night by the way the crowd was going.
Hopefully I'll be asked to shoot a few more games this fall and I'll be sure to post them here.

Senior
Quick senior session in the studio and a local park. Eric wasn't too keen on shooting his senior photos, but we made it through and got some great shots in the process.
Erin and Toby
What a beautiful wedding!!! The bride was stunning, the groom was good looking, I guess, and the day was perfect.
Erin and Toby got married in rural Wisconsin at a old restored barn. When we first pulled up, I wasn't sure what we were going to find, but was amazed how nice it turned out to be. The ceremony, dinner and reception were all held upstairs and with brief interludes in between. But no one hardly noticed, everyone was enjoying the day.
Thanks Erin and Toby for letting me be part of your day!

Senior
Here are a two Senior sessions I did with a brother and sister duo, Adam and Beka. We went down to St. Anthony Main for both shoots. Beka was first and Adam was a few days later. Neither were too comfortable at first, but both seemed to get into it after a little coaxing.
Tim and Danielle
I first met Tim and Danielle when I shot Colleen and Johns wedding a couple of summers back. It was great reconnecting with them at their engagement shoot last summer. That's when I knew this was going to be a great wedding.
On their wedding day, we started at the Semple Mansion in Minneapolis. This is where they were getting ready and where the reception would be. They were so easy to work with and we flew through the formal shots. We then headed off to the church down in Inver Grove Heights. The ceremony was great but my favorite part was seeing the wedding party squatting down trying to see the engagement video that Tim and Danielle had projected up on the wall.
After the ceremony we (obviously) stopped off at Buffalo Wild Wings and the crew had a few drinks and appetizers. Once back at the Semple, the crowd cheered as the "Starting Line-up" was introduced to start the festivities. Which by the way were very fun.
Below is the video that was running during the reception. The final proofs will be uploaded to Pictage very soon, so be sure to sign up on Tim and Danielle's Guestbook to check them all out!

Josh and Cristina
WOW! Window's on Minnesota is a gorgeous place to have a wedding. If you haven't heard of it you should check it out. It's at the top of the IDS building in Minneapolis and it overlooks all of downtown. And Josh and Cristina couldn't have asked for a better day. You could see all of Minneapolis and well into the suburbs.
We started the day by heading down to St. Anthony Main to do some shots of just Josh and Cristina, and these photos came out great. Couldn't have asked for better. We then headed back to the Windows to do family photos overlooking downtown. The ceremony came next and due to the beautiful day, we had plenty of great light for the photos. The reception was held in a room across the hall but with the same great view. The crowd assembled was great, everyone came to have a good time and I could tell from the start Josh and Cristina's friends would not disappoint.
Thanks to Jonny for helping out with the slideshow, everyone LOVED it.
And thanks again to Josh and Cristina for letting APS be part of their day.

Cristina and Matthew
Here is a beautiful wedding shot of Cristina and Matthew in Eden Prairie. We were blessed with a beautiful day and we took full advantage. The ceremony was held at Liberty Baptist and was a very nice service. We headed down to a nearby park for some photos then skipped on down to the Garden Room for the reception and were greeted by a very cool jazz trio. We got the slideshow and running and got a great response from those who saw it. Thanks to Wade for helping me get it going.
Congratulations Matt and Cristina, thanks for letting APS be part of your day!

Engagements
Here's an engagement session I shot on May 18th. Jeremy and Katherine's wedding is coming up in a couple of weeks and it should be a really good time. Both Jeremy and Katherine were great to work with and I expect nothing less on their wedding day.
I'm looking forward to it.
I'm looking forward to it.
Sarah
New Senior session at St. Anthony Main. This is just a quick edit and I didn't get a chance to look at them all (way too many great shots). I'll take more time with the final proofs.
Thanks Sarah, I had fun!
