julie & robert - september 23, 2006

julie and robert are a couple that i have loved getting to know since our inital meeting this past winter. i learned that they met each other as teenagers when they were both dancers at a performing arts school in california. their lives have taken them many places and they chose to celebrate their wedding at the historic plummer house of the arts in their new home of rochester, minnesota. from top to bottom, it was a beautiful and classy event that embraced the gardens and the elegance of the venue while still keeping it very personal and fun:

here was julie's 'something blue':

the whole day was filled with all sorts of creative touches. they even had their own bottled water:

one of the most popular ideas they had was the candy bar, with all sorts of great treats:

even their dog carlito was part of the day. he helped show the guests which table was theirs:

it was an absolute joy to watch such amazing dancers enjoy their first dance as husband and wife. eat your heart out, fred and ginger:

i want to thank julie, robert, along with their family and friends for letting me feel such a part of this special occasion. it was an absolute joy to capture such a fun day. i hope you have a wonderful and relaxing time on your mini-moon!
