lindsey & weston - august 12, 2006

lindsey & weston were married at the owatonna arts center on one of the most perfect days in an otherwise hot and muggy summer. i think it is one of the coolest venues for a wedding in southern minnesota. i have to confess that i am a little biased (this is where my husband and i got married, too)

here's weston relaxing with some of his groomsmen:

a fun pic with lindsey with both of her flower girls:

the happy bride & her dad just before they walk down the aisle:

i told you it was a beautiful place for a wedding...the stained glass and tile floors are simply gorgeous:

just married:

the outside of the building at west hills is just as cool as the inside:


a cute portrait of lindsey. her flowers are almost as stunning as she is...almost:

hanging out in front of the building:

arriving at the reception:

every time i turned my head, it seemed that one of their flower girls was doing something funny or cute. here's just some more proof:

like i mentioned before, it was an absolutely perfect day. a perfect day for a perfect couple. congratulations to lindsey & weston and their families.

erin & mike, august 5, 2006

erin & mike were married at the rural st. paul's church in meriden (don't blink or you'll miss it) the church was rebuilt after a fire a few years ago destroyed the old one. i have a soft spot for country churches and even though this one is newer, i love shooting there.

this is so girly of me, but i am kind of a sucker for
cool shoe shots:

here's a pic of Erin. i just love her hair. very much a funky, modern audrey hepburn kind of 'do:

a view from the back:


the guys were a lot of fun and were good sports. when I mentioned taking a goofy picture in the cornfield by the church, they didn't hesitate for a second. what photographer doesn't love a group with a sense of humor?


the ringbearer liked cuddling up with his ring pillow:


striking a pose:


a couple casual portraits of the couple:



enjoying the first dance.

have a great honeymoon and best wishes, and good luck with the new house!
