Zac and Liz had such a fun wedding – “No cheesy photos!”  You got it. I feel like we haven’t taken one in years but that is very subjective. 🙂

The ceremony was at the gorgeous and spacious St. John The Baptist Church in New Brighton and their reception was at the always fun Dellwood Hills Country Club. Zac and Liz had this sweet party bus that “sat” 30 people – crazy!  The driver was a little leary going over the decorative bridge at Manitou Island but Zac convinced him by saying that “semis drove over it!” Classic. 🙂  At Manitou Island we stopped at a beautiful home (Thanks Mark and Rebecca Young Shavlik!) and got some unique images on the stairwell and “floating bed.” Molly you were such a trooper getting up those stairs with your bum foot but the champagne helped right?

At Dellwood we had cake pops, and crazy awesome table wood decorations by Molly and one of our 2007 brides and rabbit handler, Cari!  The toasts are by far the favorite part of weddings for me and twin sister Julia just rocked a heartfelt and tearful toast.  The first dances between Liz and Zac, Liz and Bill, and Mary and Zac were unduplicated in weddings that I have seen… there was such a connection between Liz and Zac and their respective parents, it was super palpable in the room.  I love it when love between two people is so evident and obvious to everyone in the room!

What a beautiful wedding between two very fun people; Stan and Meagan. Meagan is a good friend who has modeled for us in the past and Stan owns The Green Room right across the street from our studio. The weather was a bit chilly so we had to move indoors to The Loft for the short ceremony before the party started!

Some of my favorite memories were the lantern launch at the end of the night (it was a little chilly for them), their first glance to Twisted Sister that was playing on the 80’s Pandora station, all the great live music and later DJ dancing, doing some “light painting”, Judge Ed Cass’s stories and anecdotes, and Meagan looking at me when Kurt Jorgenson was singing True Companion (the lyrics say “all dressed in white” but her dress was “Oatmeal”).

It was a fun night in downtown Stillwater here for a super fun couple and group of friends – congrats Stan and Meagan! -Judd and Josh

This small, private, family wedding between Eric and Sherri had just an awesome laid-back vibe. It was a great celebration of the blending of the modern day “Brady Bunch” as Eric and Sherri soon welcome child #6 into the fray and great to see good friend Pastor Heath deliver great messages! You guys are in for a fun journey! -Judd 🙂

‘Twas a beautiful March day and we had snowmobiles, helicopters, mom drinking beer from giant vase, groomsman dressed as bridesmaid and vice versa, pimpjuice, frostbite on groom, groom sneaking snowmobile cake bite before ceremony, an awesome venue, and just an amazing time for the first March wedding we have ever shot (out of about 200)! Mike and Jaclyn, what a fun group of friends and family you have – you guys are going to continue laughing for a long, long time. Thanks for inviting us to be a part of it and allowing us to capture some awesome images! Here is their Facebook album. This wedding wins best snowmobile and helicopter shot ever. 🙂 Fusion video coming soon with our first ever remote helicopter footage!! -Judd, Josh, Eric, and Emily
