It was a very brisk "fallish" like day... perfect for a very beautiful wedding!



Steve and Katie were married at Saint Hubert's Catholic Church in Chanhassen yesterday.



They chose to have their special "first peek" before the ceremony...

Steve then told us that she was the one and he's going through with it!! Smirk!

Katie was such a beautiful bride...


here is Steve with the gals...

These two literally glowed and couldn't keep their eyes off each other all day.



From the church they took a limo to the reception and we stopped off at Sunsets on Lake Minnetonka for some more pictures!









This bridal party was a lively bunch and we had a ton of fun!




Thier reception was held at The Reserve in Plymouth...

Brandt {1year}

Getting back to where I was supposed to be...
Such a little cutie! Brandt just had his first birthday and oh what fun it was to photograph him and his new puppy Tucker!
I couldn't even begin to decide which ones to chose for my post here as I thought they were all adorable!

Shouldn't this be an ad for John Deere?


Iowa Hawkeye fan!


Only Brandt can get away with sitting in Grammie's flower beds!


Of course with his JD tractor!


In his 1 year birthday outfit - so cute!


Back outside with Tucker




Thanks for asking me to take these Ashley! You and Brett are so blessed - he is an adorable and happy little guy!



I know Grammie will kill me but I just thought this was so cute!

Titus♥Lea {wedding}

I am going a little out of order here on account of the darling little subject that is to come... is out of town sooo... Ü let's have a wedding!!!

Titus and Lea were married at Central College in Pella Iowa on Saturday. It was such a gorgeous day outside and we had lots of time to wander around the campus and get a lot of photos! I have known Lea since she was a wee little thing and it was so fun to get asked to take her wedding photos! You might remember we just had her big sister Lukas wedding 6 weeks ago!!

I will add to these today as I get time so be sure and check back!

Here is the beautiful bride in front of the chapel where they had their ceremony.


some of Lea's beautiful details...


and her gals...




and this would be the groom - who by the way did not stop grinning all day!


and his guys...




After their touching ceremony filled with lots of music and singing by the Bremans
including a song Lea wrote and sang for Titus we headed back outside for some more
photos.








then we went over to the canal for these...




and back for the reception at Graham Hall...


and off they go...




and last but not least... Titus here is the sunset you missed when you "ditched"
your photographer Ü LOL, I took a picture just to remind you - it was gorgeous!


A most gorgeous day! Congratulations you two and hope you have a wonderful honeymoon at Niagra Falls!! ♥U
