St. Croix Bluffs Regional Park, Hastings, Minnesota • May 31, 2008
The day Rachel and Andrew got married was one of those rare, serendipitous days when nothing could go wrong, when nothing would dare go wrong.
“It was perfect — just the way I imagined it would be!” gushed Rachel.
And it was just that. P-E-R-F-E-C-T. From start to finish.
Rachel’s mom, Kathy was in tears when she first saw Rachel on her wedding day even though she hasn’t put on her dress yet! The whole day was just filled with emotions and happy tears. It was unbelievably amazing.
I love this image of Kathy and the veil.
Rachel and Andrew decided to see each other before the ceremony, which allowed us enough time for pictures. This was taken when they saw each other for the first time.
The bridal party was so much fun. I love working with them!
Neither bride nor bridesmaids were seriously injured in the making of these images. : )
So a million thanks, girls, for going along with my crazy ideas. You guys rock… HARD!
The guestbook designed using their engagement photos was a huge hit. Please click HERE and HERE to see their awesome engagement photos.
The ceremony was beautiful and very moving. Rachel and Andrew got married under the arbor that Andrew built to propose under.
Married!!
Check this out. I actually found their rings floating in the air, how bizzare! : )
I have been doing so well up till the point where Andrew danced with his mom and they were both in tears. It was so emotional I even got teary myself… God bless the genius who invented auto focus!!
Just to show you how lucky we were, it only started raining after the wedding was over. Hey, we even had rainbow!! : )
Be sure to check out the slideshow.

Rachel and Andrew, thank you so much for choosing me to document your special day. I can only hope I did justice to the beautiful moments of your wedding day! You are both kind, funny and thoughtful… I can’t say enough awesome things about you! I wish you the best as you fall more in love and make the world a better place.

Laura - You’ve done it again! This is amazing set and I’m sure the bride and groom will be beyond happy! Beautiful, emotional work Ai Ling!
Calista - I’m pretty sure the couple and their family gonna love these pictures you take! Love the green! The bride looks extremely beautiful in her wedding gown.. well done!
Amelie - You caught so many beautiful moments of this couple’s special day ! And the slideshow is fantastic too, there’s just so many beautiful and interesting pictures … I also really like the ring shots, both the one on the leaf that looks very good and the one with the “levitating” rings that’s very impressive.
Bonnie Hudkins - What a wonderful display of pictures. I can’t imagine doing something like that. Congratulations to my great nephew Andrew and his new bride. Looks like a wonderful wedding. I wish I would’ve been there. The pictures are OUTSTANDING!! Thank you for sending them to me.
Kathy Taylor - Thankyou for making my son’s wedding so very precious and memorable. The photograghy is simply awesome. !
