What can I say, Jordan and Kelsey made my job so much fun last Tuesday evening!! Gorgeous people, easy laughter, and delicious light. What more could a photographer want? Nothing!
See what I mean: too gorgeous for words!! Thanks guys! I can’t wait for your wedding day next year. It’ll be here before we know it!

WARNING a long post ahead! Ready? Here we go!
Jackie asked me to come to the hair salon (Cloud 9) at about 9 am, as she should be done with hair by about 9:30.
Well it took a little longer than that but we had fun chatting as she got her natural curls curled tighter and pinned.
Then off to the make up chair…
I loved the way the Bluestem Event Center lit up as the evening progressed. Such a pretty place for a wedding!!

I’m a photography ninja. Prowling in the grass like a lioness. I will get that elusive shot that is hiding from the amateur.
Gotcha!!
More superpower photos coming next week. ; )

A blustery wedding day but Jackie + Randy are awesome people who didn’t let it bother them one bit. I Love relaxed people!
I’m limiting myself this time to ONE teaser photo (full post coming soon!)
All I’m going to say about the upcoming post is there are live goldfish involved and you need to come back to see them!

9-10-11, probably the most requested date of 2011! A beautiful blue sky day turned into a hot afternoon over 90 degrees! Anyone who lives in ND / MN knows how unusual that is this time of year. Actually last night we got our first frost so it dropped 60 degrees in about 3 days. Yes weather is fickle around here. But Saturday couldn’t have been nicer. Perfect for an outdoor wedding at A Friends House in Moorhead – HWY 75.
Don’t you just love it when brides have fun things like this “Just Married” banner. LOVE.
There are so many fun buildings to use as backdrops. Unfortunately this will be the last year the old red barn is in existence. You can see the roof is sagging – so it’s going to be taken down for safety reasons next year. I just had to enjoy it one last time!!
The bride’s maids dresses were so interesting. Each one could tie the top any way she wanted. So unique!
The girls found a toad so of course they dared the bride to kiss it (Or almost kiss it)…
But the prince got away!
Back to gorgeousness…
and fun details…
Emily’s parents brought her a special tuppence from Ireland just for her wedding. How fun is that!
And I was pretty excited to learn a new ring trick this week … how to get the rings to stand up! It’s always fun to learn new secrets of the trade. ; )
Getting ready for the ceremony:
I Love this shot:
Reception time!
The groom brewed almost all the beer for the reception, plus a few specialty bottles. Now that’s something unique!
Fantastic shredded pork by Pork-N-Boys. My assistant was talking with them about their business and they said the hardest part of their job is finding single pigs since most farmers are under contract to sell x amount at a time due to government regulations! Who knew.
Everyone was really excited about the food, especially the groom! I think the Spicy Bean Sauce was the favorite…
Dancing away the sunset. So perfect!
My assistant got this amazing photo of the father/daughter dance. So sweet!
Cha-cha line! Or is it the conga line??
After sunset it’s time to PARTY in the white barn!
Ahhh. What a happy day all around!!
Now to prep for the next wedding this coming Saturday. Whew!

What do I do on a day off? Photography of course!
My sis and I did a off for a just-for-fun photoshoot:
My sister is an amazing photographer as well don’t you think?! I’m training her up to hopefully be my 2nd shooter someday! : ) You can check out her super fun blog here.

This week’s assignment: Melancholy. Not the easiest of subjects to picture, it’s more like something that words can evoke in poetry. I really wasn’t sure what to do! I even thought about it while I was falling asleep, “What can I do for this week’s assignment???? … zzzzzZZZ” (Not that I snore, I’m sure my sister would let me know if I did!)
Anyway I woke up to drizzle and gray skies. Perfect moody day. This weather reminds me of my grandfather’s funeral. A drizzly gray day when I watched raindrops roll across the window on the way to the cemetary. Almost as if the whole world was melancholy. I wanted to capture that emotion again for this assignment so I grabbed my camera and went out to sit in the car.
ISO 400 F5.6 @ 1/40 second
Perfect.
I’ve really enjoyed having a few weeks off this month. That doesn’t happen very often so I cram all my summer fun, reading, visiting grandparents, and random projects into a few weeks! Starting next week I’ll have two back to back weddings and then things will slow down again as the weather cools off. I HATE to say it, but now that it is September … well I just WON”T say it, maybe that will delay the inevitable. ; )
