jamie & chris - july 28, 2007

jamie and chris were married in glencoe, minnesota, and their reception was held in hutchinson. i was also happy to shoot with the fabulous lara leimbach. i just love shooting with lara. she said to me as we were taking some formal pictures, "you always get to take pictures for really great couples." i just grinned and said, "yes, i do!" she is right. i consider myself so fortunate that i get to work for so many amazing couples. there are so many websites and tv shows that talk about all the negative things about weddings and bridezillas, etc. jamie and chris couldn't have been the more opposite of that. they are totally in love with each other, fun, laid back and a blast to be around.

here are some favorites of the happy couple:





jamie's dress was incredible. the detailed embroidery and beadwork were definitely worth a closer look:

shoes!
