Russ & Amber
Russ and Amber were married on January 24th, 2008 and it was quite possibly the coldest day I've ever photographed a wedding! As I drove to the Mermaid in Moundsview my car temperature read -6 degrees...YIKES! But let me tell you Russ and Amber had enough love to make the day feel very warm! We started off the morning with the girls getting their make-up done by Julie from Smart & Chic Bride. Julie and I have done quite a few weddings together and her make-up and hair styles are out of this world! The ceremony was in a very quaint room decorated by one of Amber's friends named Jenny. I told Jenny she needs to quit her day job and be a full-time wedding decor specialist! She did ALL of the decorations for Russ and Amber's wedding including the brides bouquet and reception details. After a beautiful ceremony we braved the chilly temperatures and headed to Long Lake Park for outdoor photos. The lighting was perfect and I'm so incredibly glad the bride and groom were up for the chilly temps! I also want to throw a thank you out to Kirsten, owner of Fabyoulous Events. She did an absolute superb job of keeping the day running smoothly and taking care of everyone, including the photographers! The reception was hopping when we returned from the park and we settled in for an evening of remarkable speeches and a touching first dance between Russ and Amber. Congratulations Guys and wishing you nothing but the best!

As always, your photos knocked my socks off. I love the makeup shots at the top of the post! And, the outdoor pics are wonderful. You captured Amber and Russ so beautifully!
I was wondering if you were going to freeze to death on Saturday. Looks like you were ok, b/c the photos look just great. I especially love the 'getting ready' photos with the makeup. Great shot!
