amma + drew {wedding day}

posted under weddings

date : august 14, 2010
ceremony : bigelow chapel, new brighton, minnesota
reception : weisman art museum, minneapolis, minnesota

Words can’t describe how amazing this wedding was! Amma and Drew have impeccable taste. It was a beautiful, beautiful wedding that makes you smile and feeling warm and fuzzy all around.

The Bigelow Chapel is breathtaking and Amma and Drew’s wedding ceremony was so beautiful.

Drew surprised Amma with a vintage Rolls Royce. A very awesome surprise indeed… It made Amma cried. : )

As mentioned before they have impeccable taste. Check out the details.

During the speeches, Amma’s dad took off his own glasses and put it on Amma’s mom so she could see better. It was one of the sweetest thing I’ve ever witnessed. Her speech was so beautiful and it deserved a standing ovation.

Amma and Drew invited the awesome hayor bibimma african dance company for the traditional drumming and dance performance.

I LOVE this photo.

Enjoy and share the story!

warmly,
Ai Ling

Daniel is Emily’s brother. You might still remember that he walked her down the isle at her wedding. It was awesome that I get to see them again, and do his senior portraits for him.

Daniel is an amazingly talented musician. He is looking like a star already.

Please visit his youtube and facebook page to hear his music!

Daniel, it was great working with you. Your talent blew me away. Keep up the good work and I can’t wait to see (and hear) what the future holds for you!

warmly,
Ai Ling

Meet Jayne, Phil and little Jimi! This beautiful family came to Minnesota for a family vacation and decided to do a shoot. How awesome is that? We went to the Battle Creek Park, which is one of my favorite park to shoot.

Jimi is 2 years old and he has the most beautiful blue eyes!

Love these black and whites.

I could just look at these all day and still smile every time I look at them.

Jayne, Phil and Jimi, thanks for stopping by and hang out with me. It was so much fun working with you. I hope you enjoy the photos and have a great rest-of-summer!
