Breana & Kurt - Wedding | Granite Falls, MN

We had more great February weather for Breana and Kurt's wedding. The ceremony was held at the beautiful Granite Falls Lutheran Church, and someone actually had to prop open the door outside because it was a little warm inside. A very cool addition to our shoot was their 1978 Vee Dub camper van, restored by them to better than original status. Kinda jealous about it! The reception was held at Prairie's Edge Casino a few miles south of town. It was a great day for a beautiful wedding.

Amanda & Dan - Wedding | Duluth, MN

We were back up in Duluth for Amanda and Dan's wedding celebration. After the ceremony we headed down to Canal Park for some very quick pictures as it was actually a more typical (for February) 14 degrees out. After that we headed to the Greysolon Ballroom to get set up and wait for the wedding party to arrive. After dinner the dance was put into full swing by the Rock-A-Billy Revue and they kept the party going till the end of the night. Congrats Amanda and Dan!

Jen & Fred - Wedding | Minneapolis, MN

Here's our first wedding of 2012! Jen and Fred's wedding and reception was held at the Great Hall in Silverwood Park in Saint Anthony. There was a snowflake theme running throughout the wedding, but that was pretty much the only snow we saw. It was a beautiful November day... in February! We did manage to get out on the lake for and few pictures, after I thoroughly tested the ice.

Jena & Jason - Reception | Carlson Center, Minnetonka, MN

Jena and Jason's wedding celebration was wrapped up with a reception at the Carlson Center in Minneapolis. It's a beautiful location and the decorations and flowers complemented the venue. The cake merits special mention as it was one of the most amazing cakes we've seen. The pictures do not quite do it justice. The detail was incredible. Adagio provided the entertainment and kept the party going into the night. We were even able to sneak outside for a couple minutes to get some pictures, before the cold chased us back inside.

We had a fantastic time working with Jena and Jason, and we appreciate their trust in us to capture their entire wedding adventure. Congratulations!

Jena & Jason - Wedding | Maui, Hawaii

Here's our last wedding of 2011! When Jason and Jena contacted us about a year ago and asked if we could possibly photograph their wedding in Maui, I had to think about it for about 2 seconds and said "yes". When trying to think of words to describe this wedding, I keep coming back to "epic". Perhaps I need a thesaurus. The wedding ceremony was held at the Grand Wailea Resort and Hotel, probably the most amazing resort on the island. To say we had a blast would be a severe understatement. We spent a lot of time hanging out with Jena and Jason and their families. Everyone was so hospitable that we occasionally forgot we were working. The weather was absolutely perfect on their wedding day (and every other day). Here are a few pictures from their wedding day.
