becky + jarad {wedding day}

date : august 21, 2010
ceremony : holy redeemer church, marshall, minnesota
reception : marshall golf club, marshall, minnesota

Every wedding is unique, and Becky and Jarad’s is the perfect proof of that. This is the third Ortmann wedding I photographed and yet Becky and Jarad’s wedding is different from the previous weddings I’ve photographed. This wedding is a reflection of their fun personalities, and again, I must say, they know how to celebrate!



They have the cutest ring bearers,



And the coolest bike,

And the most awesome family. It is so nice to see all the happy couples : brenda and brandon and brooke and tony.

Very colorful details,


And they know how to make things fun. I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding.

amma + drew {wedding day}

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.

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.

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!
