leah & corey - july 21, 2007

it was a perfect day in every way for leah and corey's big day. they were married at st. peter's catholic church in forest lake, and their reception was in white bear lake. i met leah and corey through another great couple, sarah and greg, whose wedding was new year's eve 2005. it had been fun getting to know them and i had been looking forward to their wedding for a while. it was also a great wedding, because i got to team up with the awesome emmerlee, who i always have a great time shooting with.

here are some of my favorite portraits of leah and corey:

corey helping his dad with his tie:

i can't stop giggling whenever i see this picture of the flower girls:

it is pretty obvious that i love pictures with veils. they just look so cool!


a ring shot. i thought it was appropriate for the sunny, summer day:


corey and his groomsmen:

leah and her bridesmaids:

leah and her dad making their way down the aisle:

corey's reaction at seeing his bride for the first time is priceless:

the vows:


back down the aisle:

stealing a kiss right after the ceremony. i love their reflection in the door:


after the ceremony, we stopped for a few fun and relaxed pictures at her grandparent's home:

there's that cool veil again...

and a stop at white bear lake:

these are some of my all-time favorite cake-cutting pictures:


thanks for a great day, leah and corey. the day was as much fun as i anticipated. congratulations and best wishes to a great couple!
