It's New Year's Eve and time to start posting 2012 Wedding Photos

Detail photo from Emily and Steve's wedding at the Woman's Club in Minneapolis

The Woman's Club in Minneapolis is perhaps my favorite venue to shoot in. Every space offers something special whether it's the antiques, the view, the lighting or just the overall ambiance.

Emily and Steve in the library at the Woman's Club. This was the first time I posed the formals in the library, but certainly not the last. A fun couple in a great space. — at The Woman's Club of Minneapolis.

I'm not sure what they officially call this space ballroom, bar, lounge, whatever it's called it's a great space with a wonderfull views of Loriing Park, downtown and the Cathedral.
