Shawn and Daphne - Hitched!

Such a fantastic couple, I've been anticipating their wedding, ever since their engagement session last fall. Not many people can pull off a fancy wedding dress and cowboy boots like Daphne.
Special thanks to Mr and Mrs Albers for letting us use their farm for a few shots in between venues. We don't know them at all, but they were gracious enough to let a couple strangers use their property for a few minutes. I saw their farm on the way to Northfield and just had to stop and ask.

It was certainly the most dimly lit ceremony I have ever shot.

Daphne's Mustang made for the perfect prop in a couple of shots.

The next 6 images (minus the cake topper) were shot on the Albers farm.

We were just missing the pitch fork!

Joe & Marianne - Wedding Awesomeness!

Joe and Marianne were married at the gorgeous Basilica of St Mary in Minneapolis (you can see that post HERE, if you don't remember it from a few days ago). Many of you loyal blog followers (that's you mom and dad!), might remember their engagement session from last month already.
Their wedding was spectacular to say the least. The venues were amazing (reception was at Rush Creek Golf Course in Maple Grove), and we got to spend a couple hours taking pictures around downtown Minneapolis (Joe even pulled a permit for the sculpture gardens, we then hit the Stone Arch and Mill City Ruins).
Special thanks to Glenda Conner for second shooting the ceremony and Joanne Chappellaz for helping out.

(she was able to go "undercover" as a guest and sit close enough in a pew since the "hired photographers" have to stay about 150 feet back... don't tell anybody :)

To give the guys credit, it was a little hard to put on a "serious face" for the shot above since Marianne decided to "photo bomb" the shot, as seen below.
