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

Miles and Meghan’s Wedding Links:

Got the new phones hooked up today – all appointments will be at the downtown Stillwater studio from now on! Lights and backdrops go up Wednesday. We’re putting up a steel wall that will look like the outdoors that might take another week or so but it will be really cool. Chipotle style…

NEW ADDRESS: 214 South Main Street, downtown Stillwater, MN 55082
NEW Phone: 651-342-1476 (our old phone # will forward)

I’m doing two or three complimentary destination family or portrait sessions in Playa Del Carmen Mexico December 3,4 and 6 – need some beach models! Let us know if you are interested – or do you want to stay in Minnesota in early December?! Ha. -Judd

Here are some shots of our new location in downtown Stillwater – including the demolition crew! 317 South Main Street is the address, between The Daily Grind Coffee Shop and Barbara Ann’s Chocolate Shop near the Dock Cafe and The Freighthouse. It’s a great spot and seconds from tons of creative downtown Stillwater locations – more pics and video of the demo to come. -Judd

What a change of pace for me to do a 1-hour wedding at the Aurora Staples bed and breakfast in Stillwater for 11 people. We went to Pioneer Park afterward for a quick shoot and Troy and Marci were just great! Some fun shots below are the fuzzy caterpillar on the purple gazing ball, and the cool unity sand – I think there were a few grains that fell out but who’s counting – thanks for a fun time Troy and Marcy! -Judd
