Brett + Andrea's Backyard Wedding

My friendship with Brett and Andrea goes back a couple years. I helped paint Brett's house while working for KD Painting, and mentioned to him that I was getting into photography and would like to photograph his wedding someday (he was with Andrea already).  The next year, Brett was engaged and I ended up helping paint his new place and again and also reminded him about photography.  Well, I got a call and met with them after work one day...and the rest is history. I'm still amazed at how God orchestrated these events and that I had the privilege to photograph their wedding.  They kept everything local.  The food, music, and rentals were all from local businesses near their St. Paul home.  They crossed the river to hire a Minneapolis based photographer, but I forgive them for that! Thanks again Brett and Andrea.
