On one of their first dates, Nathan was racing his motocross bike and had a serious crash 3/4 of the way around the track. Rachel not only followed the ambulance to the hospital but managed to load up his crashed bike into his pickup BY HERSELF! It was when he woke up in the hospital and she was there that he knew she was a keeper!

It was so fun getting to know you guys and this was such a fun wedding — here are the Top 10 moments from Rachel and Nathan’s wedding day:
10. Rachel’s awesome red shawl she had during the creative photography time
9. Nathan sporting said red shawl crossing the street
8. Modified “Abbey Road” whole wedding party shot
7. Having to do the Abbey Road shot three times to get the spacing right. 🙂
6. Nathan’s amazing woodwork and custom logo design
5. Having four photographers shooting from all angles including two rockin interns (Ester and Jordan)
4. Me standing in two cigarette pots to “get the shot”
3. Having little kid pictures of Nathan and Rachel on the bathroom doors (great touch!)
2. Having their Photo Booth album have pictures of two different people on it!
1. Great Grandma sticking her tongue out at me during family time (see below)

It is so fun re-inventing ourselves as the in-house photographers for The Loft at Studio J. We try to take new images and locations every time we are here and the decor and locations make a difference. With this crew we went to Rafters and I couldn’t help but notice that the floor had the same “springiness” that the Old Loft used to have. Or maybe that was all the drinks that were going down fast?! 🙂 Thanks for allowing us to spend an amazing day with you two and enjoy the slideshow! -Judd, Eric, Jordan, and Ester

COZY… That is what described the feeling in The Loft at Studio J today. It was like you had walked into the inside of a snowglobe surrounded by all your family and friends and were ready for a 7 hour celebration, conversation, awesome dinner and party! Dave and Renee have so many cool friends and family – Renee’s mom made all the dresses for the women!

The custom woodwork was amazing, the first glance was spectacular, and we managed to get some really fun shots outside even though it was a bit chilly (the yellow umbrella!!). The shutterbug bridal party hung out at Brine’s and we spent some time in the Freighthouse alley and then the party was on! Thanks for sharing some really awesome puns with us Renee – it was so great spending the day with you two and see you soon! 🙂 -Judd and Josh

What an awesome late fall day for Nick and Holly!  So many cool details in their wedding including jello shots, name tag suckers, leaf thumbprint tree, doily spray painted pumpkins,  supercool cocktail napkins, custom pocket watches Nick picked out for his groomsmen, handmade bouquets (the frost got the ones they were growing!), and cake topper geodes (you never know what you’re going to get!).

It was also Nick’s idea to do this crazy image with all the groomsmen passed out and the bride still drinking (see below) – so creative!  We love shooting in our own venue, and we used some different lenses and angles to really make it a point to make today look different.  I also loved the from-the-heart speeches and the love in the room from a recent family passing.  It was so great to work with you guys and enjoy the images!!! – Judd and Josh
