Sonja and Patrick married yesterday at Mt. Olivet in Minneapolis and held their reception at the very fabulous Science Museum of Minnesota. With plenty of time before, during and after, we (I) got to play a little and get some really nice and some pretty crazy fun shots! I just love when a bride shows up with props so we had a bunch of fun with the parasols! These two were quite the willing participants as well as creative art directors themselves and so we had a lot of fun!
Good Day to you all!
LOTS going on in the next several days.
And of course I can’t leave out the fact that my brunch at
Interlachen Country Club yesterday for NACE was fabulous,
delicious and a nice break in the middle of the week.
And Kudos to Interlachen, 2009 marks their 100th anniversary!
I set up a table, an easel, set out all sorts of albums, guest
books, proof books, framed images etc…then I ran a 200+ image
slide show of some of my favorite images that I’ve shot for NACE
since I started on that fateful day that the 35W bridge collapsed
into the mighty Mississip nearly 2 years ago.
The slide show was a HUGE hit! Next time I’ll bring my 24″
monitor! 
I just couldn’t swing it yesterday. Everyone
gathered around and reminisced as it looped.
You see, each NACE meeting is really like a mini wedding
reception from decor to floral to signature drinks, not to
mention the venues! Really, a lot of fun.
Tonight I will head up to the Metropolitan to cover a MOFAS event.
Pregnant Pause, being held tonight, is their 4th annual awareness
event for expectant moms.
Tomorrow, I am photographing a fun wedding out at the
Como Park Conservatory.
Yep, another Friday wedding!
Saturday my niece, Amanda, has a dance recital that I wouldn’t
miss for the world!
And Sunday is Mom’s day, of course..ahhhhh.
Originally there was rain forecast for Renee &
Shane’s wedding day but it held off until early
the following day. Prayer works!
This unique day started with the fact that they
had chosen the Chapel at Ft. Snelling in St. Paul
for the ceremony, they selected Ft. Snelling State
Park and Rice Park for their formals and finished
up at the very lovely St. Paul Hotel.
A group of only about 80 but enough faith, hope
& love to fill the new Twins stadium and enough
celebration to last a lifetime 
Congratulations Renee & Shane!
A sneak peak…
What a day this was!
Alicia padded the day with TONS of time
for me to capture all sorts of fun at several
spots…it’s not common to have that luxury.
Congratulations Alicia and Matt!
I thank you for allowing me the privilege to
come along side you for the day.
(Oh, and p.s. slide.com is working on making
the images larger, I’m told, so I apologize
for the postage stamp sized images.)

Between Easter, 3 weddings, 4 NILMDTS sessions,
taxes and a sick Boo, I’ve been a bit lax in the
blog department. I just needed to “catch up”.
But do we really ever catch up? The faith that I
can keeps me going, anyway.
That said, on to a few weddings…first, JoAnn
and Rick from March 28th. A chilly day but the
sun was out and the venue (Murphy’s Landing) was
the perfect backdrop for their period wedding.
