Sometimes being a good photographer in Stillwater (or anywhere) means you know when the bridal party needs to just stop taking pictures and chow down on mac ‘n cheese pizza from Quickfire Pizza… Their ceremony was on The Avalon Riverboat without food, and when we started the creative time it was pretty clear that almost everyone needed food. So we spent 45 minutes just feeding our faces and having drinks in downtown Stillwater on a balmy day, and man did it hit the spot!

From the moment we met Brason and Lindsey, we had the feeling that there was going to be a whirlwind of fun, craziness, and spontaneity surrounding their wedding. We showed up for an engagement session, got to meet “Pile” the dog, and five hours later we had taken about 600 engagement pictures (mostly due Jason’s erratic driving while Lindsey and Brason were tubing!). Epic.

Lindsey had an AMAZING statement piece designed by Marlaina Stone, and she had them made for each of her bridesmaids’ personality. The massive clasp is what we put the rings around for the ring image. We also grabbed a very cool image of Lindsey laying on the ground that I love – it was inspired by the crazy carpet pattern on the Avalon. It was funny that a couple of her relatives though she had fallen or passed out when we were taking the shots – sorry about that! 🙂

Some other fun random memories: Brason had a puppy pattern tie, the bridesmaid threw their wilted bouquets over the edge of the boat, Chris polished of many people’s beers at the pizza place, the bridal party was flown into the groom’s dinner on Jimmy Buffet’s former plane, the 45 second ceremony (after processional), the bottle of Dom Pérignon on the bride’s room, Lindsey spilling pizza on her dress, rooftop after after party, but MOST of all was the HEIGHT of the bridal toss images at Pioneer Park! So the award for this wedding goes to the highest bridal toss ever, by any wedding party anywhere I’m sure.

It was such a pleasure working with you guys, Lindsey and Brason – thanks for letting us be a part of your lives to capture these images! – Judd and Josh

What an amazing day! I called Devyn a couple days before the wedding and told her about a massive boat party that was going to be out on the St. Croix and asked her if she would be up for it and she was! I knew Carl would be up for it, ha, so we got our drone helicopter out and got some crazy footage – watch the video!

Devyn brought two glasses of Champagne for the first glance after popping the champagne (see video), and then we got the famous “girls on a path” shot! I was in love with the texture and variety of the bridesmaid dresses and jewelry. And this wedding also marked the first time Loft cups made it to the head table! So proud to have color changers mixed into the awesome decor. And Devyn had a pair of cool comfy shoes for the reception – super smart move. 🙂

This was just such a fun blur of a day and I love the images of Devyn and Carl in the water after the boat ride. You have got to love a couple that will roll up their pants, take off their shoes, go for a boat ride, and just be up for anything on their wedding day! Thanks guys for letting us be a part of your day, and your closing shot is my favorite closing shot that we have ever taken!! – Judd, Josh, and Bill (Chopper guy)
