Katy and Ken are married!

Yesterday was such a fun day! I took pictures at Katy and Ken's wedding up in Duluth at Perimeter Church. I considered this my first "real" wedding, because this was the first wedding that I shot engagement pictures, provided full day wedding coverage, and had a second photographer join me for the wedding day. Anne Fowler, a good friend and fellow photographer, helped me throughout the day taking pictures of the guys and other pictures throughout the day. She was such a blessing to have to help me out! I had such a great time yesterday taking pictures. Katy and Ken are so natural and fun in front of the camera, so they made my job easy! I had such a hard time picking my favorite pictures, so there are A LOT. Enjoy!

Anne and I walked around the amazing youth area at the church and took pictures of the rings, shoes, and dress.  I saw this really cool looking orange couch with the lighting from the window and asked Anne if she could take a few shots of the dress on the couch.  This is what she came up with.  Great picture!

This stop light was in the youth room and I thought it would look really cool to put the rings on top of one of the lights.  Thought green would be appropriate- "GOing into marriage together."  Okay, so I know I am cheesy! 

Ping pong balls!  I thought this was too cute!

Katy and the bridesmaids were up for some fun pictures, so I was happy when they were willing to climb up on the playground for a few pictures!

The flower girl did not like her picture being taken, so while Anne was taking a few pictures of the wedding party, I snapped a few pictures of her without her looking.  Anne did the same!

Olivia Haber

I took pictures this week for a teacher I work with, Lizzie Haber.  She and her husband, Mitch, have such a cute baby!  Olivia is three and a half months old and such a fun baby!  Her room is decorated in pink and brown, so we took a few pictures of her in those colors to match the room! Here are a few pictures that I took of Olivia.

Nicole and Jeff engagement pictures

Yesterday was a very appropriate day to do a set of engagement pictures.  I could not have had a more enthusiastic or in love couple to take pictures of yesterday on Valentines Day.  Nicole and Jeff are truly a fantastic and wonderful couple and were so much fun to take pictures of yesterday.  They were totally willing to do some crazy and interesting pictures!  Jeff officially hired me to take pictures for them every weekend, he had so much fun!  Nicole tells Jeff he is very much an enthusiast... I would agree.  There were so many great pictures of Nicole and Jeff that I couldn't choose just a few, so there are a lot to check out!  I guess that happens when you have such a great couple!  See you next weekend Jeff!  ;)

We had a lot of fun taking pictures at the playground!  Time to be kids again!  :)

Jeff had some good ideas for pictures, including the next two.

For this next one, I had to do some acrobatic moves to get high enough to take the picture!

This was a fun picture to try and get.  This road is not very busy, but we had to be quick about taking them, because cars would come and we'd have to hop off of the road really fast.  Nicole was a sport, because the road was still a little wet from the rain earlier that morning.

So in love!
During their outfit change, Jeff and Nicole got some Starbucks to bring to the docks with us. They came up with the cute idea of going to the docks and having Jeff play the guitar while sipping coffee. They are having a coffee theme for the wedding, so these pictures with the Starbucks cups were perfect!

Probably one of my favorites of the day!  This was right after a passing car on the road honked at them!  :)

Right next to the spot where he proposed!
