John and Naomi’s Wedding Links:

Josh and I had a great time at John and Naomi’s wedding! From the beautifully quaint church in Bayport to the hotel in White Bear Lake, everything went smooth and the wedding party had a blast. We got some fun shots at the park near White Bear Lake in the 30 degree weather, everyone being troopers. At the reception, everyone was partying and the DJ was excellent. I almost shed a tear during their love story, touching stuff. We’re happy for you guys and check back soon for photos! -Joe and Josh

Mike and Mary’s Wedding Links:

Whirlwind! That pretty much sums up this day – a whirlwind of energy and events. Here are some random fun memories: Alice’s glam jewelry, the Godfathers fighting off lactic acid buildup during the Russian Orthodox regal ceremony, Kristy Lindsay and Dan’s toasts on the bus, Nye’s Polynaise and the crazy vinyl seats, Mary’s 100-year-old aunt, the “Louisville Chugger” random episode, pictures with Bert Blyleven and Frank Viola at the Graves 601, the Russian live dance music and me getting trapped in the middle of the circle, the guy who was doing the wheelbarrow pushups (who was that guy), MetroJams keeping the dance floor going all night. Our team had to top off the night with a round of White Russians in honor of the occasion. Whew! -Judd, Aron, Troy and Allie

Steve and Cristina’s Wedding Links:

Steve and Cristina had a gorgeous wedding. From the beautiful addition at St. Peter’s to the stretch hummer to the decadent table settings at the prom center, they didn’t skimp out! Some great memories include “I’ve Got A Feeling” coming on the radio on our way to the prom center, hilarious photos at Pioneer Park in Stillwater including the patented stylish shades, a quick stop at Brine’s to cheer on the Twins and some great singing skills throughout the guests at the reception. Congratulations to the newly weds, we’ll show some of their photos on here soon. -Joe & Josh

Chad and Aarthi’s Wedding Links:

I lived in India for 5 months right out of college and Chad and Monica’s wedding brought the memories flooding back. From the amazingly colorful saaris to the naan and paneer for dinner, it was a full sensory experience. We got some unique shots in the rain on the Stone Arch Bridge – even though it was tough getting there with 4 huge golf umbrellas (the you Target!), I love the foggy look of the skyline and how the colors of the vests and dresses popped in the diffused light. Some other random memories: Chad and Monica’s athletic choreographed dance, Monica;s huge smile all day long, the way there obviously cared so much about each other and how grounded they were in their faith. I’m sure I will never hear vows like that again: it was well-crafted poetry from the heart that left not a dry eye in the crowd – thanks for being such a great example you guys! -Judd and Josh

If you want to feel fat and lazy, go watch an ironman triathalon (2.4 mile swim, 112 mile bike “ride”, followed by a full 26.2 mile marathon). The mass start of the open water at sunrise was a sight to behold. My brother in law and cousin participated – it took them about 12 hours to compete. Don’t think I’ll be doing that anytime soon…

I also got to challenge myself tonight with some horse photography – an image I got in my mind and we had some clients with horses (Maria, Monica, “t”, and “Lookit” and Cookie the jealous dog). I originally wanted the shots really dark but the sky was too cool so I went with it. Thanks to flash ladies Liz and Jessi! -Judd
