I can’t believe it has been a month since Ian was born!! From being the nervous wrecks we were when he was a newborn, to now being able to just relax, watch him and be amazed by every little thing he does, it’s such a joyful experience to be parents. We’ve been truly blessed.
We love you, little man, so much — thank you for being here.
To all of you, we thank you for all your well wishes and gifts. We appreciate your thoughtfulness and thank you for thinking of us. : )
love,
Ai Ling and David
Elim Lutheran Church, Robbinsdale, Minnesota • October 4, 2008
Amanda and Ellis met each other seven years ago.
They are married seven years later on the same day. : )
Let’s start with one of my favorite of the day. I absolutely adore this picture. Getting ready moments are always my favorite.
Their first time seeing each other on the wedding day.
I had so much fun working with the awesome wedding party.
The ceremony was held at Elim Lutheran Church.
… and, the new Mr. and Mrs.!!
After the ceremony we headed for some celebration at Mad Jack’s Sports Cafe.
Amanda and Ellis had their reception at the beautiful Edinburgh USA. The decor was just breathtaking.
This is such an amazing wedding. I have SO many favorites to blog, so please click and watch the slideshow below to enjoy the rest of the story.

From their amazing engagement shoot to their beautiful wedding, I must say that I have been blessed, yet again, by an amazingly genuine couple. Amanda and Ellis, I am truly honored that you chose me to photograph your wedding. Thank you so much for the kindness and graciousness you and your families showed. I think the world of you both and I wish you nothing but love, joy and happiness together!
warmly,
Ai Ling
I love your pictures…they are beautiful. I will have to have you come take pictures of our family some time…my children (who were the flower girl and ring barer in Amanda’s wedding) have beautiful blue eyes that I bet you could capture amazingly : )
P.S. Mason says thanks for all the mints you shared with him.
Thank you, Missy!
I would love to do a family shoot with you guys, both your children are so adorable. :)
I had the privilege to meet the beautiful Goodspeed family and spent a fun morning with them. It was a rainy morning but it was warm and cozy in their lovely home.
Bubbles in the living room? Pure magic.
Greta is 2 and she will be a big sister soon! : )
The rain stopped briefly for us to shoot outside.
Thank you, Neil and Jeannie, for inviting me into your lovely home and allow me to spend the wonderful morning with you. It was a pleasure meeting with you, and congratulations on the pregnancy, Jeannie. I wish you all the best!
warmly,
Ai Ling
