What a beautiful day for a Wedding in Fargo (this was right before the heat wave that came through the area!). Blue skies, perfect weather, and more important a couple who were relaxed and ready for a fun filled day!
I love finding light and shadows to ad interest into images. The stripes on the wall were really fun!
Angie’s Dress was AMAZING! I loved all the ruffles and detailing.
We decided to head over to the Train Depot for a little shade. I just love it there!
And a few ‘secret’ locations around downtown Fargo with the Wedding Party – Just for fun!
After the ceremony we headed to the Avalon Events Center for an evening full of laughter ( a little embarrassment for the groom) and dancing.
Thanks Angie and Brady for an incredibly fun day!

I had a little too much fun with this week’s photography club assignement: Symmetry
I just snapped this one of my sis for fun…
Then I found my favorite subject:
The last image is the one I ended up submitting to the club. I just really liked the feel of this one. I didn’t do any Photoshop besides increasing the contrast, but the sun shining off the pipes gave this really neat glow.
I’ll be posting a long blog with Angie + Brady’s wedding photos soon so get ready for some fun wedding photos!!

I’m loving my new radiopoppers. For those of you not photographers out there these little gadgets let me set up off camera flashes around a dance floor or cake or whatever so I can get light from different directions. So fun!
The real reason I wanted to get these was for wedding dances. Most dance halls have NO windows, and even if they do it’s after dark before the dance starts. So I’m often working in a space that has less light than the average Christmas twinkle lights give. And I hate setting my camera’s ISO so high that images get grainy. No more! I’ve shot two dances since I got these babies, and wow, they are amazing!
Just to give you an idea here are 4 images I took setting up the lights:
For the cake shot I had my assistant hid behind the cake holding one flash pointed towards me for a nice rim light. And I set up a second flash off to the left for side dimension light. Then my on-camera flash filled in the front. Easy. Beautiful!
For the dance I try to set up a triangle. One flash set up on the two far corners, and then my on-camear flash. This lets me get beautiful rim light from one corner, the other corner becomes a side light and my camera flash fills out the front details.
As the couple moves around I can also get some pretty cool flairs.
So glad I invested in these new flashes and radiopoppers. Although getting them set up the first time was really tricky. My vlog this week explains some of the crazy things I’ve learned. Be warned though … my brain blanks on me towards the end – but I decided I didn’t care if I looked stupid. I’m just me. ; )

I found this picture that my assistant snapped of me at the last wedding. I was so far in my zone I didn’t even notice there was anyone else in the alley!

Wow, Alyssa and Keith were troopers! It hit 100 degrees in Fargo while we were out doing our engagement photo shoot! Talk about a HOT couple (and they really are stunning people!).
Alyssa – you are such a MODEL! Keith – you are a lucky guy and don’t forget it.
Love, love LOVE these next few!
Wowzers. Do I get lucky with how great my clients are or what! Not a complaint about the heat or mosquitoes. I can’t wait for November to come and I get to freeze with you at your wedding. That’s what I call full circle. ; )

Dress by Allen Evens - the Rand Collection
The jewelry was stunning!
Dad seeing his daughter for the first time. A very emotional moment. Even I was choking up! But happy tears are good things!
Then we headed over to a friend’s farm to do outdoor photos. This is where the fun begins!
Loved the colors in the garden! (sorry for making you sit on hard rocks, but the photos look amazing!)
Amanda’s flowers were done by The Red Poppy out of Fosston MN. They were stunning! Gorgeous orchids, lillies, and roses. Amanda was telling me that because of the Tsunami she had no idea what color orchids would show up! Not that’s a leap of faith for a wedding day. : )
Love the next shot that my assistant got from the other side of the flower garden:
Enter the Wedding Party:
Umbrella fun!
I just had to grab a photo of the extra attendant that showed up:
Oh YEAH!!!! Wooop it up!
Back to the church for the ceremony. It’s such a cute little church in Fosston.
It’s official – they’re married!!
Love this moment with dad after the ceremony:
I think the reception is probably the most lavish, gorgeous one I’ve photographed to date! Everywhere I turned there were lovely things to photograph! I’m so glad I have my new flashes because there was not one window in the whole room. I’m going to do a post later this week about my new flashes and do a few photos with and without so you can see the difference. For now enjoy the goodness!
Cake by : Cakes by Heather – Mahnomen MN (Ican’t find a website but if I get one from the bride I’ll ad it!)
It’s always cool to see how people use their engagement photos. Wine Labels by Myownlabels.com
Band: The Front Fenders
Whew. It was 18 hours by the time I got home from Mahnomen. A long fun day!!
Congratulations Carl & Amanda! Thank you so much for inviting me into your special day!
