Sean + Ashley (Lord of the Lakes, Stars and Strikes)

June 4, 2011 Posted in Weddings1 comment

Sean and Ashley,
Congratulations guys – what a youthful, fun bridal party to hang with today! Lots of energy and style – the suspenders were one of my favorite looks for guys ever and I always love purple for the bridesmaids. Glad you guys were up for the trek to MPLS for the Stone Arch Bridge area, and Sean you were a good sport for doing the “chasing the bride” shot on the seguey…

Ashley you get the award for the most enthusiastic “I will” during the vows, that was awesome. Glad you guys had a great time at the reception with Josh and Natalie! -Judd, Josh, and Natalie

Here is the link for ordering prints!

Here are my favs of them on facebook.

I wanted to say a HUGE thanks for Studio J and Judd. Ashley’s wedding would never have been complete without you guys. The pictures that I have seen from Studio J and Judd were so beautiful that a mother couldn’t express more the meaning of making her daughter happy on that very special day. Thanks again for all your work and I will highly recommend Judd Sather/Studio J!!!

Soldier Coming Home

May 30, 2011 Posted in Families, Randomness, Uncategorized1 comment

I can’t think of a better way to celebrate Memorial Day than to spend a bit of time with the Jelinek family. Steve was coming home from an eight month deployment to Afghanistan, and Josh and I were at the airport from 12-2am Friday morning capturing the emotional event. A short sleep later, Kim and Steve surprised the kids at their schools – get out your Kleenex before watching the video! -Judd and Josh

Here are the images on Facebook!

Being able to share in a tiny way in this homecoming by watching the video, is hands down for methe best part (and soggiest) of this Memorial Day! Thanks for sharing it, and more importantly Thank You to the entire Jelenik Family for all your repeated sacrifices and call to service. Many Blessings upon your family reunited!

Tim + Lisa: 5.29.2011 (Dellwood Hills Country Club)

May 29, 2011 Posted in Fashion, Weddings1 comment

What an incredible day! A fun fashion session with an awesome couple around some cool mansions around White Bear Lake, small family reception, and tons of kids and laughter the whole time. Tim and I used to play baseball against each other and Lisa was the first bride to every text me during the session: “you’re doing great!” just what we needed was some positive feedback. Hilarious. 🙂

There were tons of mosquitos so think you could inhale them so we did the fern shot below a few steps away from the breeding area. There were tons of tongue and cheek jokes and “that’s what she said”s from Lisa which made the day pretty funny.

Tim told me they’ve done everything in the completely wrong order: 1. baby 2. courthouse wedding 3. bachelor party 4. wedding ceremony, but I think you guys have it figured out! -Judd, Josh, and Chris

Here is the link to order prints – they will be available until August 29, 2011. The password is Lisa’s maiden name.

Syd + Cinda = Engaged!

May 26, 2011 Posted in Uncategorized1 comment

I haven’t been blogging engagement sessions this year, but had to tell this story:
So Syd calls the studio Tuesday night (Syd is Melody’s dad from her wedding to Justin last September) to schedule an engagement session for Thursday and I detected something in his voice and here’s why:
Syd and Cinda have known each other for over 25 years and have had a recent “whirlwind” courtship over the last 7 weeks, culminating in a proposal on the “Wild Thing” roller coaster at Valley Fair Thursday afternoon. That’s right, he called to schedule the engagement session 2 days BEFORE proposing! Now Syd is an actor and has never been one to shy away from theatrics. He had a t-shirt made up that said “Will You Marry Me?” and had it on under another shirt; so when the automatic roller coaster camera took the crazy “scream” picture, he opens up his shirt for the camera. He proposed when Cinda saw the picture at the booth – brilliant!

But it’s not over; Syd follows by giving Cinda a shirt of her own which says “Yes” and they rode the roller coaster again! I have a feeling the rest of their relationship will be quite a ride. 🙂 -Judd and Josh
