Traveled up to Northern Minnesota for a wedding yesterday. The weather was unpredictable with huge wind and rain, but the clouds broke long enough for this shot. More to come soon…

Molly and Dennis’ wedding was full of excitement and surprises. Everything from hotel issues and construction to a complete downpour to a tornado warning during the wedding day (on a boat). Molly did not let any of this stress her out. We made it through and wedding turned out great! Molly and Dennis are two of the nicest people you’ll meet. They have been so appreciative with nice emails and letters to me after their booking and their engagement session. Their wedding ceremony was held at Boom Island where we were greeted with quite a downpour. For the reception, we sailed down the Mississippi River upon the Paradise Lady. The weather cooperated for use throughout the evening till our return. A Tornado warning was issued and we had spend a little extra time on the boat. Molly and Dennis…Thanks so much for the exciting wedding day! Congratulations and Best Wishes to you both!

These lovely photos truly captured the magic of your wedding. It was a beautiful event reflected in how lovely you all looked and the happiness that radiates through these images.
The perfect day does not come around often, but when it does I try my best to soak it in and enjoy. Yesterday was one of those “perfect days”. Yesterday was Em’s birthday. The day was simple and unplanned yet it was perfect. It was the type of day that makes you happy to be alive. In an effort to retrace my steps and help recreate more “perfect days”, I complied a list of what made yesterday so memorable and fun.
List of Ingredients for a Perfect Day
- Take off work.
- Sleep In and cuddle up next to your loved one till 10am.
- Refrain from making any structured plans for the day.
- Eat a whole pan of Rhode’s Cinnamon Rolls together.
- Pre purchase your favorite junk food for snacking on the couch (i.e. Peanut Butter M&M’s and Sour Patch Kids).
- Watch a bunch of YouTube videos together.
- Laugh
- Attend a matinee movie (i.e. Inception) – BTW that movie was crazy amazing! One of the best movies I’ve seen in awhile.
- Buy the extremely overpriced large bag of popcorn and drink and don’t forget lots of butter and salt
- Go out for a nice dinner (i.e. Oceanaire).
- Have your desert lit on fire.
- Drive home in a crazy downpour of rain.
- Do all of this with the person you love most
As you can see, there is nothing special about yesterday, but somehow…it was the Perfect Day! Anyone have any other suggestions (ingredients) to making a perfect day? Would love to hear them.
I’m a big believer of the importance of the ‘wow’ factor. We called Oceanaire about an hour before we arrived and they still had time to print this special message on the menu….Awesome!
Em’s mom joined us for dinner
Pyrotechnics and desert always play together well.

Adrienne & Aaron are beautiful people. The creative ways the photographer portrayed this couple in a beautiful setting was perfectly done.

That’s cute. And that’s pretty cool of them to label the menu! Did you know they’d do that before hand?
Today is Emily’s birthday and she somehow was able to take today off…could things get any better? Em…you’re pretty much the most amazing person I’ve ever met! You’re crazy smart and just plain beautiful! Wishing you a very Happy Birthday and look forward to spending today with you!
Love,
Your Hubs
A couple months ago, Em volunteered to endure a quick session with me. She had just graduated medical school and I wanted to be sure to document this wonderful time in her life. Doesn’t she look stunning? Here a few photos from the shoot:
(I need to get back to bed before she wakes up and also feel free to leave a little love for Em by commenting)
