amanda & nathan - october 6, 2007

amanda and nathan were married in a lovely early afternoon ceremony at lord of life lutheran church in maple grove and their reception was at the medina ballroom in the western suburbs. it was one of the last warm days of the fall and the fall colors were spectacular. here are some pictures of the two of them for starters:

they both have the cutest smiles, don't they:

we took advantage of the incredible weather and stopped for some fun pictures. the best man's father had a great old car that they drove to the reception.

one of the coolest part of the reception was that they reserved some lanes at the monterey for their guests. of course, we had to catch a couple shots:

congratulations, manda & nathan!
