Last Saturday the Stadler Fam took a half day trip to Stillwater. The weather was beautiful and the shops were hopping. First stop...Teddy Bear Park. From there, we just walked around and took in the Art and Food scene. All in all, a very relaxing and great start to Fall. Many thanks to my Sister-In-Law for planning this and getting everyone motivated to HAVE FUN! here are some pics from the day.
I photographed this wedding back in July. Here's a quick summary of the wedding...HOT, humid, small town, low key, SANDWICHES IN THE CHURCH BASEMENT, dance in the park, BRIDE MADE HER DRESS, farm, BEAUTIFUL SUNSET, joy filled. I loved being a small part of this big event for Nicholas and Rachael. May God bless your marriage and your drinking of non-pasteurized milk!
I met Tim a few years back in a small group leaders training course at our local church. The group was roughly 10 people and we were the youngest. After the course was finished, I learned he was in a local band, called ZOO ANIMAL (Tim will never broadcast that he is in a sweet local band...humility or really poor marketing?). I went to a show and was hooked. This began my obsession with all things ZA. Later, when I found out Tim was engaged to this girl named Ashley, I knew I had to do everything in my ability to be a part of their wedding. I ended up splitting duties with a good friend from church. Sharing the photographic responsibilities for a wedding can be such a blessing. Personally, I think it's a lot easier to enjoy the day and interact with people. I loved it. Tim and Ashley met near the Stone Arch Bridge, in Minneapolis. The Wedding Party had some time to hang out at Aster and soon, we were off to a small, backyard ceremony. Afterwards, everyone headed to Honey, in North Minneapolis, for some appetizers, amazing Thai food and dancing. Honey was one of the more challenging venues (black walls and ceiling) I've been in, but such a cool atmosphere. Thanks so much T+A for letting me be a part of your amazing wedding! Hope you enjoy the pics...it's so hard trimming these down for a blog post! There were so many great moments! -R
