So. Much. Joy.  I was outside in the lobby during Lizzie and Joe’s reception and overheard a conversation: “Joe is just such a great guy – I would do anything for him; and Lizzie is just the best – so full of energy and always happy all the time.”

This sentiment was echoed over and over during the speeches and essentially throughout the day from family and friends alike.  It is so much fun to “work” with people like Lizzie and Joe who simply and constantly exude fun, love, and compassion for others.  Joe was even ironing the shirts of his groomsmen! “These french cuffs really throw me.” haha.  The details were amazing with table decorations, super tall centerpieces, name tags / floating flowers, and Lizzie’s beadwork on her dress – although her veil liked the beadwork a little too much. 🙂  The groom’s “teddy bear in a bag” was slightly disturbing though. 🙂 My favorite part of the day was watching Lizzie tear up from listening to her sister Sara and brother-in-law David rehearsing for their special music. It is pretty amazing to watch the emotional power of professional opera singers!

After the ceremony we cruised with the wedding party to Como Park, and a cool abandoned warehouse after being denied at one of our secret locations by hurricane fencing!  So we shot two brand new locations in St. Paul which was really fun including drone video footage!!!  The video footage will be edited down and ready in 4-6 weeks but we wanted to release these fun images as soon as we could!  Thanks Joe and Lizzie for allowing us to capture all the love and fun from your amazing day! -Judd, Josh, Eric, and Erik

Whew… I think I have finally recovered from Josh and Ami’s wedding! Josh and I have photographed over 200 weddings so we kinda “know the drill” but we were both playing different roles than usual… Josh was the groom/backdrop builder/confetti canon builder and I was photographer/sound guy/parking specialist/sherpa. Josh and Ami packed every imaginable cool detail (i.e. Star Trek cuff links and Ami’s gloves!!) into an amazingly action packed day and it just seemed like time was marching too fast!! It was a whirlwind of smiles, dancing, partying, Japanese garden shooting, laughing and re-uniting with old friends and family. I was so tired I ordered room service. Twice. 🙂

Josh found this cool door in Minneapolis to shoot on and we just grabbed seemingly endless quick shots in the parking lot, and fields, and shoe shine chair – all happening without hesitation from a couple who knows how to pose and are totally in love, and find cool spots! Special thanks to Jaimie and Eric and Chad for grabbing great images and video as well – WHAT A FUN DAY! We are so excited the Schneiderkoosmanns are on an amazing globetrotting honeymoon to Italy, Greece, and France – and we will try to hold the studio down while you’re gone and see you soon!! -Judd, Jaimie, Eric, Chad, and Taylor

What a fun trek down to Rochester for Paul and Andrea’s wedding!  There were rings on the red licorice vines, cute ring-bearer/flower girls, pose striking, bobble heads, confusion between air vents and speakers, a thumping limo, and amazing cool locations to shoot in (stairs, courtyard where Paul and Andrea got engaged, bus stop, canon, park bridge, etc, etc, etc). We love shooting in new locations so great job scouting you guys!  I also loved the hotel lighting and textured wallpaper. 🙂  Our fabulous intern, Jordan, also got a blog shot!  It is of Grandpa looking at Paul and Andrea through the church doors – priceless!!

Thanks for the referral Laura and Trevor (2008 wedding), and it was great to see you guys again with Paul and Andrea! -Judd, Josh, and Jordan
