kelly & pete - may 10, 2008

i had been looking forward to kelly and pete's wedding since i met with them last summer. since that time i had a blast at our sub-zero engagement session and i have been the recipient of hilarious emails from them. these two have such upbeat, infectious personalities and senses of humor that make them a joy to be around. when it came to the big day, it was even more fun than i could have imagined.

it was one of those on-and-off rainy spring days, but amazingly it stopped when we went over by lake minnetonka for some outdoor pictures. here are some of pete and kelly for starters:






how 'bout some details... here are kelly's wicked sweet shoes:


pete works in law enforcement, so how could we not incorporate that into a ring shot?


their first moment together:


the wedding party:


not long after that shot was taken, a train came through:


the ceremony at saint joseph the worker catholic church in maple grove:


they said their own personal vows to each other during the ceremony:


woo hoo. wife and husband!


they were total rockstars and we got a couple extra shots at the wellstead of rogers before they were introduced at the reception:




this cake topper cracked me up...


especially after we shot this picture earlier that day. then she caught him a delicious bass:


the toasts:





just as the first dance was about to start, the music suddenly changed to 'canned heat' and kelly and pete and got their groove on:


after their tour-de-force performance, they shared one more dance:



congratulations and thank you for letting me be a part of your wedding. i had a killer time :-)
