Rarely do I have the opportunity to photograph a bride and groom in “delicious” light, but such was just the case last night! Light so beautiful you can taste it…more coming soon from this gorgeous wedding at Stonebrooke!

GORGEOUS!! love this photo.
It’s a given that I love photography. However, a large part of what I love about photography is networking with other photographers. I enjoy sharing and receiving the passion of photography with other photographers. Sharing that common bond makes for awesome discussion and good times. I love attending photographer networking meetings for the previously noted reasons. Monthly, I attend the Minneapolis Pictage User Group (aka PUG) meeting. The PUG allows a bunch of photographers to get together every month and learn from other photographers and mingle. It’s always a good time and I make every effort to attend each month,
This month’s PUG meeting was unique as we had a model shoot. It was great to go out and shoot with a bunch of photographers and try out new ideas. Makeup artists, Dresses, Awesome Flowers, and Models were brought in. Here are the credits for the shoot:
Dress Designer: Kaja Foat of Foat Design
Makeup Artist: Collette Harrington
Hair: Aly Zacher
Florist: Lacie Swartzendruber of Pearls and Lace
Models: Rachel Petrie and Haley O’Brien (In Order of Appearance)

Mr. and Mrs. A. Aasand: Just sending you a note on how much I enjoyed your wedding. I havent been to a wedding like yours in a long time. I really enjoyed the fireworks. They were great. The Dweeb band was alot of fun to dance to for everyone. The girls sure looked beautiful in there blue dresses. I wish to you a happy and long marriage to last forever. Diane Reeves

I meant to say I love the use of the lit stacked crates as texture on the wall, kudos.

Great lighting, John! 
As many of you know, my wife recently graduated from medical school. A couple years before graduation, Em told me she wanted a special graduation shoot with all of her girlfriends. Never imaged the day would come, but it did…so as promised, we shot this session at the U of M campus just after graduation. That’s right all of these ladies are now doctors and some of our best friends. Sadly, some of them have already moved away for residency, but at least we have these images to celebrate this exciting time in their lives.
Congratulations to everyone and best of luck!

Good stuff John! The blue steel shot is awesome!
This wedding was just a pleasure to shoot! Adrienne and Aaron had a beautiful wedding at the gorgeous Nicollet Island Pavilion. Adrienne and Aaron had such a unique ceremony as they incorporated both Lutheran and Jewish ceremonial traditions. The weather was a little warm but nevertheless great. The evening ended with fireworks. Could you ask for a better final to a perfect day? Honestly, I had a tough time narrowing down the images for this post. So be sure to check out the slideshow to see more of their day. Adrienne and Aaron…your wedding was memorable and I thank you for allowing me to capture your special day. Enjoy!
Florist: Colleen’s Flower Cellar
Caterer / Cake: Apples Catering, Mintahoe
Band: The Dweebs (Great entertainers!)
