A couple fun clips...

Usually when I post my wedding video work here, I only post highlight videos and not many people really ever get to see any of the full-length video. Today I'm turning over a new leaf! These two clips are taken from Christi & Justin's full-length video and they crack me up. I hope they crack you up too.

Megan & Daniel

Kelsey was the lead photographer for this shoot, so if you'd like to see pictures from the whole day, check out her post here. I just chose a few of my photos from our morning photo shoot to post here. We shot this wedding in Duluth and did wedding party photos on the shore of Lake Superior. This is exactly why I love traveling for weddings. Even though there's a lot of variety to be found close to home, I love getting out a little further and using unique settings like this one.

Ashley & Sean's Wedding Photos

I had such a hard time narrowing down photos to post here from Ashley & Sean's wedding. In the end, I decided to just post a whole bunch of them. Kelsey and I have been friends with Ashley & Sean for quite a while. Kelsey grew up with Ashley and has been friends with her just about as far back as she can remember and we both got to know Sean pretty soon after they started dating. They're also talented photographers themselves and have both assisted us on some of our wedding shoots. These two are such a great couple. Their fun and laid-back personalities complement each other so well and we're so happy they found each other.

Ashley & Sean used Sean's parents' beautiful property as the setting for their wedding and the weather was perfect.

This was a first for me at a wedding and it was awesome - Sean and his groomsmen showed their talents as stuntmen with a mock fight. After the first dance, Sean's groomsmen pretended to make a pass at Ashley and Sean fought back, ultimately throwing each of them to the ground after a few punches and flips. It was quite the show!

It's that time of year...

I know my blog has been incredibly lacking as of late, so I just wanted to write a quick post to anyone who might be stopping by periodically to say that lots of awesome stuff is coming soon! I'm currently in the process of editing 7 weddings, so I haven't had much time to blog anything lately. But I have had the opportunity to capture several incredible weddings (among other things), so hang in there and I promise my blog will be refreshed soon!

Rory & Brian's Highlight Video

Rory & Brian got married on July 3rd at Allen Centennial Gardens in Madison. It was a beautiful day, a great couple, and a great location for a wedding. This was another day that Kelsey and I got to work together - check out her blog if you'd like to see some of her photos from the day. Congrats Rory & Brian!

Amanda & Joel Are Getting Married!

This engagement shoot almost didn't happen because it looked like a storm was going to roll in right at the time that I had scheduled to meet with A & J. They decided to go through with the shoot despite the possible bad weather and I'm really glad they did. You can't tell from most of these pictures, but apparently there were lightning and funnel clouds all around us during our shoot...but where we were, the weather was actually fantastic! In the end, we had a great time and got some great shots!

Katy & Joe's Wedding

On the fourth of July, Kelsey and I had the rare opportunity to photograph the same wedding together. Katy and Joe got married at Lakeview Lutheran Church in Madison with their reception at The Edgewater Hotel and you could tell all day that they were really enjoying themselves. Kelsey and I really enjoyed ourselves too. I especially enjoyed being an assistant for this shoot...which is way easier than being a lead photographer (although I really enjoy that too!) Kelsey took some amazing photos which you should check out here. I also went through my own pictures from the day and picked out just a few of my favorites to post here. I realize that in 3 out of these 4 photos, Katy and Joe are kissing... We really do try things more creative than such a standard pose as this, and no, Katy and Joe were not kissing the entire day long. I thought the kiss worked well for these particular shots though, so here they are!
