Caramel Apple Cake. I almost want to stop the blog post there, it was such awesome cake. some day I would love to have a “cake-off” between Jason and Tara’s Red Velvet Cake (August 7 post) and Justin and Marit’s Caramel Apple Cake. Caramel Apple edge on uniqueness, Red Velvet edge on taste. We might have to arrange that…

This was a magnificent day September day with no wind, blue skies, and just the right amount of sun. We got some really cool images both at the Graves 601 and down on the docks on Lake Minnetonka. The owner of Sunsets happened to have his yacht out so the wedding party got up on it – great stuff. I love the reflection image of Justin and Marit in the water. We had ducks, trains, and jsut all sorts of eye candy. It was fun to get there early to get some extra getting ready footage including the guys raiding the fridge – hopefully they didn’t have to pay for the “kit” they pulled out of the holder in there…

Also great to work with the guys from Capture Studios doing video for Justin and Marit – their video will be amazing! – Judd and Josh

Images are private!

I love it when I tell couples to “just sit over there and hang out” and they start just making out and enjoying each other’s company. That happened about 4 times with Jeff and Kate in the short two hours we had with them. It was a gorgeous fall day and a beautiful, intimate, family-only ceremony at Irvine Park. Their reception was at their new condo at Grant Park complete with scrumptious desserts that Jeff and Kate insisted on serving to their guests themselves. What a sharp and beautifully simple wedding. Back at their new condo in Grant Park, we got a few fun “crossing the threshold” shots and a sunset image off their deck with downtown Minneapolis in the background. You guys are great! -Judd & Aron

We had this great 3-hour session with Kira the other day, complete with getting booted off some property by the COPS. Good thing because we probably wouldn’t have gotten the sunflower and road shot at the end – two of my favorites of the year… enjoy! -Judd

This is what I woke up to Sunday morning. I’m posting the image SOOC style (straight out of camera). The colors were gone before I could change my camera settings – unreal.
