Jon and Lisa were great! We had such a fun time. The weather was erratic to say the least, but we got to see some sun, some torrential rain and later a tornado warning. Jon has a friend that he brought to the wedding, but not a friend in the usual sense; Jon has a glass bunny. When asked about the bunny I discovered it used to be a conversation starter/ pick up line, and now he is a companion to special events – too funny, bunny.
Right before the ceremony the sky opened up and let loose its fury. Usually this is not a problem, but Jon and Lisa were having an outdoor wedding. Luckily it stopped long enough for the bridal party and several others to towel off the chairs.
The reception was fun too, and it got even better when the storms started up again and about 15 minutes after a tornado warning we lost power to the hotel.
Some people might have been bummed out about the weather, but not Jon and Lisa. In fact, they put their rings together and became…the stupendous married duo! Thanks Jon and Lisa, you guys were a pleasure to work with!

Kevin + Julie = Married 07.10.10 (North St. Paul, MN)

My oh my what a day!! Things were off to a great start with the weather cooperating (almost) the entire day, which allowed for some great sky shots! This day featured a little bit of everything from being in a beautifully remodeled church (Saint Peters, North Saint Paul), hanging in the city (Saint Paul), to bars with gnomes everywhere (The Happy Gnome), to walking on stairs that played music when you stepped on them (Science Museum). The most memorable part of the day had to be when TJ (one of the groomsmen) was sitting at a table with people he had never met before at the Happy Gnome just shooting the breeze like he had known them the whole time and then proceeded to take a shot with them! Haha, thanks to Julie and Kevin for being such a great and outgoing couple to take pictures of, Chad and myself definitely felt like it was a sign of thing to come for those two!

Peter + Kathryn = 06.26.2010 (Madison, WI)

Peter and Kathryn’s Wedding was amazing for many reasons. First, they have an amazing attention to detail and could totally be laid back and enjoy their wedding day as well. Kathyn has these amazing electric blue eyes – I had to grab a close up while we were in the limo. The capital in Madison is a very interesting place to capture images – I love going to spots where I haven’t shot before. It was a challenge to find some great spots that had enough shade in them. Andrea the amazing second shooter from Marmalade Skies Photography (and one of Peter’s good friends) helped find some cool local spots down by the water. Peter and Kathryn received a polite golf clap from the people hanging out on a hot summer’s day.

Some of my favorite shots are below: the group of “Internationals” from Australia & The Netherlands, Kathryn getting a little “backside,” and little Claira grabbing Paul’s “beard.”

Special thanks to Ben and Eric for once again manning the video cameras. This was a family wedding and someone (Peter and Kathryn?) had the amazing foresight to put our family in a room that was about 40 feet from the dance floor. So, our three little boys could hit the sack while Martha and I, well, kept partying since it was our 11th anniversary!

Thanks to both families for an amazing weekend! -Judd, Andrea, Eric and Ben

Thanks for the great pictures! We can’t wait to see them on something other than a Blackberry and are excited to see the rest when we return home.

Terry and Jodie are a great couple and we had an awesome time capturing their wedding day! We took a stroll down to the bluffs and captured some great images with the boats in the background. After escaping the humidity, the ceremony was beautiful and before you knew it, it was official! Beautiful Afton Alps was the backdrop for a fun reception. Terry and his buddies were the second group to do the “Louisville Chugger” that we’ve seen. Fun stuff! Some of our favorite images:

Jake + Kate = Married 06.13.2010 (Minnesota Landscape Arboretum)

This was Aron’s and my first time at the University of Minnesota’s Landscape Arboretum. What a beautiful place to hold a wedding and reception; a regular Photographer’s creative dreamland. The ceremony was held in a rose garden that just happened to bloom shortly before the wedding day. Wyatt the rambunctious ring bearer was smiling for every shot and as you can see, was very careful to guard his soda from possible thieves. Everyone present gathered for a group image on a hill by the ceremony location, so cool! Kate told me a bit about her camp days with Jake and said that, although it looked a little rough, that her hip checks to Jake and his return kicks were full of love. Kate enacted a situation where she was a demanding wife, but don’t worry Jake, I think she was kidding… In the waning daylight we got the bridal party out and into the Uuf Da Palace, I think that image speaks for itself and it’s unique appearance.

Thanks for a great day!

Josh and Aron
