Matt + Kate: 02.26.2011 (St. Mary’s Russian Orthodox and Shoreview Community Center)

Josh and I were packing our gear Saturday morning and it still had sand in it from Matt and Jenn’s wedding in Mexico – awesome. Matt and Kate had a little different weather here back home in Minnesota but we still got some great shots: I LOVE the one with the light snow, umbrella, and random smoke in the background.

Kate owns her own hair salon, so the day started early there and the fun continued with lots of chuckles, side comments, and general revelry including a lengthy winter stop at Mario’s Keller Bar / Gasthaus in MPLS to warm the blood. We got some creative old west shots and speaking of shots (of which Kate doesn’t partake, ahhemm), the one you see on fire below is called a “Cinnamon Toast Crunch” which is also a great cereal. 🙂

We also did fusion video for Matt and Kate which I am SO glad so we could hear the toasts: Dusty’s recollection of Matt “borrowing” Frank’s brand new Jaguar for a quick jaunt to Valley Fair, Nicole and Andy’s barbs to Kate, and Rick’s plea for a bilateral shoulder orthoscopic procedure after holding the Russian Orthodox crowns above Matt and Kate’s heads for 18 minutes. Toughen up. Seriously glad I didn’t have to do it. 🙂 Great also to see the Rooster Baseball boys of old: Dave, Higgins, Schmidty, and Rick – that was a pleasant surprise.

The image below of Matt and the Groomsmen is in my top 3 I have taken of groups of men – love it. All links for Matt and Kate’s wedding will be posted here shortly!
