Here are a few of my favorite images from Eddie and Cyndi’s wedding: the “throwing of the rose petals” was Cyndi’s idea, some great backlighting on the holding hands shot, Cyndi’s dad surprising her by changing into a kilt for the ceremony (it had a little trouble staying cinched up during the toasts!), and a kiss of her good friend Terri’s daughter Jada. This was a super fun and challenging wedding with the strong light at Mississippi Dunes and Eddie’s tux being 45 minutes late, but we pulled it all together and it was a fabulous fall wedding day! -Judd and Mallory

I think I knew about half of the guests at this wedding – another rewarding experience. Thanks to Joe and Kate, we pulled off our first ever fully edited “Growing Up” video complete with photos and video from the wedding day – the response was great so we’ll continue to offer this when we can. Some of my favorite shots below: Thanks Dawn for recommending bigger pictures! (I agree). -Judd, Chad, Joe, Troy and Kate
Whisper…
Kyler had a little “tie length” issue.
Hoff has always had ups – notice how perfectly level the Silver Bullet is; what an athlete.
Timeless Stillwater shot!
Love the weeping willows in the background at Dellwood.
Here is their highlight video!

Jessi and Amanda got to shoot Andy and Amanda’s wedding – too bad Amanda didn’t get to wear my 5-year-old’s frog boots like she did at the engagement session! I love the pictures in front of the red doors of the church and the shots at the sculpture garden – here are a few samples! -Judd (for Jessi and Amanda)

Awesome to see the gas prices dropping… I turned our limo-following Tuscon in on its lease the other day – it was great for us and followed about 150 limos these last few years, but we opted now for the 48mpg + Prius instead of the 19 mpg Tuscon to lesson our carbon footprint. We also conserve resources here at Studio J by having a residential studio and gallery so rest assured your kids will have clean air to breathe… as long as we’re not the only ones doing our part?

Joe and Kate traveled up to Brainerd on an immaculate weather weekend and got some great outdoor shots around Cragun’s resort – check out those weeping willows! And who doesn’t like a little pontoon ride with the wedding party afterward – good times.

Bride loses shoe = bridesmaid goes in the water to retrieve it – I’m pretty sure her hair got wet in this shot – thoughts? What a fun wedding party Amanda and Mallory got to shoot – lots of energy and rumor has it that a guest got hit on by at least 4 people that night – true?

I love Friday weddings; I went in a bit tired but was instantly energized by Devin, Floest, and their friends and family. Great to see (sister) Frances and Jay whose wedding we did in 2005 – it’s so rewarding doing family referral weddings.
I found myself lying on the ground at St. Kate’s to get that shot in the lower left of the collage – Mallory and Troy were nice enough to dust me off – black shirts and dust don’t mix very well. I was excited to hear Bob and Dawn Davis (celebrity photographers from Chicago) talk Wednesday so I was trying out some new camera settings that yielded some great color saturation – like the sky in the lower right shot. The rings picture was on the railing facing downtown Minneapolis so the lights in the background got huge when I zoomed in. Devin and Floest doing the high five in the jump at the Stone Arch Bridge is sweet, but doesn’t it look like Devin has 4 legs? Weird. -Judd, Mallory, Troy, Allie
