angela & kevin - august 18, 2006

kevin & angela were married at the fantastic noerenberg memorial gardens in wayzata. i fall in love with every wedding i shoot, but this one holds a special place in my heart. angie and i have known each other since we were five years old and it was an incredible honor for me to be able to capture her day for her and her wonderful groom. her mother is a wedding florist, and an amazing one at that. we used to have pretend weddings in the backyard with the poor neighborhood boys, so it was really neat to see where our lives have taken us and how all that practice when we were young was totally worth it...

here's the happy couple after seeing each other for the first time at the boathouse overlooking lake minnetonka:

not only were there views of the lake, there were gorgeous columns:

and the gardens themselves weren't too shabby either... look at all that color:

not only did she have mother of the bride duties, kris had time to create this stunning boquet for her daughter:

angela & kevin, i am so happy you found each other. looking back through my pictures, i am amazed at how happy you are with each other just shows in every shot. thank you for letting me be a part of such a special day.
