karin and nate {wedding day}

Augustana Lutheran Church, Saint Paul, Minnesota • April 18, 2008

I’m in love with Karin and Nate and their gorgeous wedding!! They are the kindest, warmest couple, and they are so in love with each other, so appreciative of their family and friends. What a day — love, laughter, tears, hugs, kisses all around. Seriously, it was beyond wonderful.

Karin’s amazing dress and shoes. Fabulousness.

We managed to step out for a few quick shots even though it was raining.
The ceremony was beautiful and cozy, filled with emotions and love.


It started with the organist playing the magnificent pipe organ, and later, Karin’s brother, Erik played vibraphone while his friend Brian played the marimba. Their talents are simply mind blowing, the music was magical.

Onward to the reception at the Grand Hotel in downtown Minneapolis.
This was taken while Karin and Nate were cutting the cake on the other side. It’s always fun to meet fellow photographers. : )



Always love the first dance, especially this one. Pure romance, pure joy.
We managed to leave the ballroom for a few portraits while the dancing was going on. Love love love the interior of the elevator.


Last but not least, the ring shots!!

Karin and Nate, I’ve told you guys many times, and I am going to say it again. You guys totally rocked, and I’m so honored and blessed that you chose me as your photographer!! Thank you so much for your graciousness, I hope you are having a blast in Alaska.
