Proofbook Covers

I thought it might be fun to share some of the proofbook covers that we do for our wedding couples. As part of our wedding photography package we provide a spiral bound proofbook with all of their photos. We take a little extra time to make a cover that will be memorable. Here is a selection that shows how our style has evolved over time.

Erika and Javan's Wedding

This was one special wedding for Margie and myself. Erika is the daughter of one of Margie's dearest friends. There's always a little extra pressure when shooting for friends, and it doesn't help when the sky opens up and drowns out the opportunity for special shots at sunset. Erika and Javan however were unperturbed by the torrential rain, as we were all safe and dry within the tent. Dry however couldn't describe the intrepid caterers who slogged through the rain to serve us all. We did grab a few shots just as the light faded and then celebrated with a launching of hot air balloons, AKA UFOs. The good thing was that we had a special shoot already scheduled for the next day. The fields of the St. Paul Campus were another lovely new place for us to shoot. Como Conservatory makes for a lovely and predictable finish. Congratulations Erika and Javan.

The fields of the St. Paul Campus. Another great spot for wedding pictures.

Aliisa and Walter's Wedding

A little warm maybe, but you can't ask for a folksier venue than Gale Woods Farm. Usually wedding parties choose to arrange the seating in full sun looking down towards the lake. Bravo to the person that chose shade on this 95 degree humid day. Alissa and Walter weren't daunted and proved to be gracious hosts. A little tight on time, we were able to break away to shoot at sunset over the lake. Congratulations Alissa and Walter.

Shooting into the sun is ever so popular with wedding photography lately.

So, here's another one. Sandhill wedding photography goes with the times.

A Scandinavian tradition says that however many rings stay attached when you lift the top ring, that's how many children the couple will have. Surprise Alissa and Walter!

Alissa and Walter Engagment Shoot

Now this is a fun couple. Even though we are doing their wedding photography in less than a week, we squeezed in this session at the Walker Sculpture Garden. I'm amazed that I've never chosen to shoot here before for an engagement. If the sun is too intense, just go around the corner to find a shady spot. It helps to have a playful couple like Alissa and Walter. They were willing to get down and dirty, literally, without hesitation. I'm been in the role of wedding photographer here before, but I know I'll return to this Minneapolis landmark for more portrait sessions. See you on Saturday Alissa and Walter.

After the shoot, my wife informs me that this is the only approved sculpture to climb on in the Sculpture Garden

My very first shot of the big cherry.

It's officially called the Spoonbridge and Cherry and the gardens are a collaboration of the Minneapolis Park Board and the Walker Art Center.

Ah c'mon we can't really hurt the cinder block!

Sarah and Jamal

A wonderful blend of Africa, Lebanon, and Minnesota describes the union of Sarah and Jamal a couple of weeks back. The DJ was challenged when it came to musical selections, but he came through and the dancers provided the energy on the dance floor.
