Mary Jo & Andy

In early October I had the honor of photographing Mary Jo & Andy’s wedding.  That had been searching for a wedding photographer online and liked my work.  They looked a little further and realized we live just blocks away from each other.  It was almost comical.

They had a beautiful wedding at St. Stephen’s in Anoka, but the weather created a bit of a challenge.  What we had hoped for was a beautiful fall day with all the colors of the season and a wedding dress in the middle of it all.  What we got was a rainy fall day.  When the rain started early in the afternoon, it kept going, and going, and going…..  So, plan B!

Earlier in the week I had scoped out a number of locations, both outside and and inside backup as well.  The inside images were actually taken at my home church in Anoka, in the gymnasium.  There is a large bank of windows that faces north that provided the perfect light.  I love the look, and yes, the floor lines have been removed.

Enough about the technical stuff.  MJ and Andy are hilarious together.  Without a doubt MJ is the planner, and Andy does a great job of letting her do what she does best.  It’s a really cool thing to watch.  There is a sense of humor with these guys too that is so refreshing.  I won’t even tell you the things we laughed about, but lets just say it could be the beginnings of a really funny & inappropriate movie script.
Thanks so much for choosing me as your photographer.  Enjoy the sneak peek!
