Back in the day I was a high school football coach and math teacher and Josh was a STANDOUT strong safety and math student that I had the pleasure to work with. He contacted me a few months ago that he had fallen in love with Alem and they were going to be married at Como Conservatory. I knew it would be fun to see him and and reconnect with the other football guys besides Josh: Justin, Jarred, and James – hey that’s a lot of J’s with Judd and Josh and Jaimie Studio crew too – weird…! 🙂

This was a quaint ceremony and the groomsmen were super agile climbing up on the railing in front of the conservatory. Josh had a picture of himself and Alem inside his coat and his vest matched Alem’s GORGEOUS African dress you see in the images. I absolutely love the images taken on the railing and in the reflection of the fountain. Thanks for having us as part of your day Josh and Alem! -Judd, Josh, and Jaimie

What a fun local wedding! John and Carrie took us back in time with their ceremony at the Aurora Staples Inn in Stillwater overlooking the St. Croix. They both wore historic garb that really completed the turn of the century look and feel. Carrie found her amazing dress at an antique shop, but it was missing some buttons that she had to have shipped last minute! We had some of the best Buttercream peach and strawberry cake and some awesome lemonade made by Luna Rossa which was perfect for a sunny day. We wish you the best John and Carrie, thanks for letting us share in your special day!

Brian and Ashley were married in Mexico a couple months ago and this was there stateside reception! Ashely worked as an amazing retoucher for us during our busy season last fall so it was fun to work with her as a bride. 🙂 The Machine Shed had some really cool “farm-like” backdrops we used for the variation on American Gothic image.  We also made a few of our own images out in the tick-infested brush – I love the walking one – it is very unique to what we do. Ashley lost her bustle but hey, it was worth the shot right? The cool shadow image was in the pool area… kids in their swimsuits were like “What in the heck is going on?”

The details they chose we very unique like the signing bench, umbrella name tags, cupcakes, bridal dress pockets, and wire balls.  Josh got a sweet ring shot on top of one of the centerpieces! It was weird freezing ourselves for like the last 8 months here in MN and then hearing myself tell the bridesmaids if they were hot to stand in the shade — I hadn’t said that since August 2012! What fun Brian and Ashley, thanks for having us a part of your reception celebration! -Judd and Josh
