Sandhill Summer Weddings

Here is a selection of Sandhill summer weddings. What a great summer is was for weather and wonderful couples. We'll start off with Heather and Thomas and some time spent together at the Japanese Gardens in Minneapolis.

Mallory and Chris held both their ceremony and reception at the Milwaukee Depot in Minneapolis, with a brief photo diversion to the Historic Mill District next to the Stone Arch Bridge.

.Jenny and Stanley hail from New York City and wanted a very urban modern feel for their day. They chose the La Meridien Hotel in downtown Minneapolis.

 Erin and Steve chose a beautiful day and the lovely St. Charles Borromeo church in Northeast Minneapolis, with the reception at the Columbia Golf Course.

 Megan and Mike took a break along Main St. in Minneapolis before their reception at the Holiday Inn West Bank.

Rollergirls!

Sunday night the Minnesota RollerGirls held several bouts at the Roy Wilkins Auditorium in downtown St. Paul. Sparsely attended because of a cancellation on Saturday night and continued blustery conditions on the rescheduled Sunday, yet no lack of enthusiasm. I was invited to shoot by Joe Leyba, coach of the "Garda Belts" and the second most winning coach in league history. They put on a great family event, including a halftime dance for everyone, and all for the sake of fun and charity. Enjoy the photos, just a bit of a divergence from our typical wedding images.
