Judd Sather Photography Blog

I was on vacation with the family last month near Deerwood, MN at an outdoor music festival. Usually on vacation I try not to take any pictures but with the sun setting behind these artists (Justin Roth, Antje Duvekot, and Storyhill) I couldn’t help but grab my wife’s camera and take some fun slow-shutter stuff. There were some amazing singer / songwriters there in the northern Minnesota pines. The campfire music was still going around 4am… -Judd

Scott and Majalisa’s Wedding Links:

Both Scott and Majalisa are in the Army Reserve so we had a chance to capture some really unique images: Scott going to pick up Majalisa with a convoy of five HUMVs (you should have seen the looks from the Cottage Grove neighbors), Maja “surprising” Scott with a lime green fake dress (he had a lime green tie but left it at the hotel), Maja always wearing green Army socks (which she stayed true to), some fun images at Minnehaha Falls like tracy getting after Maja and Art (Maja’s dad), cool shots on the runway (right before we violated the runway radar and got warned by a dude with an AK-47 machine gun, and Scott’s “first” pitcher of the night! – Judd, Amy, and Josh

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
