I'll always remember a conversation I had with Senate about her wedding and why she wanted a venue along the Mississippi River. Jon is from Minnesota, but Senate is from Louisiana. The Mississippi Rivers' headwaters are Northern Minnesota and the river eventually makes its way south to Louisiana. In a way, connecting Jon and Senate. How cool is that? I love when couples choose venues based on something significant or meaningful to them. Jon was a close friend and fellow track captain in High School. The Military took him around the world, where he eventually met and fell in love with Senate. I was extremely humbled and delighted to photograph this wedding. Here's what I saw.

Clark + Debbie's Wedding / Unity Baptist Church / Moose Lodge 963
What a fun wedding. I'm so happy for Clark and Debbie and very grateful they gave me the opportunity to photograph the day. This is such a great job, because every wedding is unique and personal. It's never a boring day at the office. On this day I had beautiful weather, super nice people, great food, Hamlet and some amazing live music. The only bad part of the day was my over indulgence of various types of delicious chili at the reception, which left me a tad uncomfortable during the dance :/ I still think it was worth it, however. Thanks so much for all your support and encouragement! You can order prints here.
Kevin + Soraya's Wedding / The Lafayette Club / Minnetonka Beach, MN
I HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF ASSISTING MY GOOD FRIEND ROEE DORI ON THIS BEAUTIFUL WEDDING IN APRIL. ROEE IS A GOOD FRIEND AND I'VE LEARNED SO MUCH FROM WORKING WITH HIM OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS. THANKS EVERYONE! THIS POST KIND OF MARKS ONE YEAR, OFFICIALLY, SINCE I PURCHASED THE DOMAIN AND STARTED THIS WHOLE PHOTO/ART BLOG THING. I COULD NOT DO ANY OF THIS WITHOUT YOUR SUPPORT. I'M AMAZED AND HUMBLED I MADE IT THIS FAR.
AND YES, SORAYA'S LAUGH SOUNDED AS JOYFUL & AMAZING AS IT LOOKED.
