Sometimes I am really surprised by how weddings turn out. Not from a photography perspective, but by the people involved. This wedding was one of those that I wish I could get all the time. I never ran into the disgruntled Uncle or irritated Bridesmaid. Don't get me wrong, weddings can be high stress and emotions are all over the place. I know. But the whole day was a joy and the people were a joy to be around. A lot of people danced! Even after Collin and Ashley left. So cool! And even though the smoke from the sparklers choked and nearly blinded Ashley, she kept a smile on her face the entire time. Congrats Collin and Ashley, you made it. May God pour out abundant grace and love in you both as your lives continue as one.

Jon + Senate's Engagement / Stillwater, MN

August 18, 2012 in 3 / Engagement

When you start photographing people and weddings, you always wonder how many friends will be contacting you. Well, I kinda started this photography thing a tad later in life (30) and most of my friends are already married and into careers and families. BUT, there are always a few that wait. I am so thankful my buddy, Jon, waited. We were track captains together in High School and just great friends. He went on to the Naval Academy and continued more school and also serves in the military. His fiance, Senate is super fun and cool and I am so excited to be photographing the wedding at the Mill City Museum next summer. Congrats you guys! Love you both!

go ahead, jump.

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.
