Mr & Mrs Bates (aka grandma & grandpa) must be some of the proudest parents and grandparents out there… both of their kids and spouses and all their grandchildren are living lives which serve others. Some right here in Duluth and others on the other side of the world in Bangladesh. I was really honored to spend a few hours being silly and getting these shots for them!
COLLEEN + NICK = MARRIED
10-8-11
MINNEAPOLIS, MN
What a privilage it is to spend the day with your cousin… especially when it happens to be their wedding day! I imagine most memories Al and Nick have together are early morning hunting outings and crazy, crowded holiday gatherings, but after this day we all know another side of Nick. AND we got to know the gal he asked to be his bride.
Calm. Cool. Awesome. The three words I’d use to describe Colleen. The two of them make a perfect pair!
The ceremony and reception took place at the Minneapolis City Hall, absolutely beautiful.
The best man rocking at The Limbo.
SARA + KELLY
10-1-11
MEDFORD, MN
We meet these two at a wedding on New Years Eve two years ago and couldn’t have forgotten them in a million years. Kelly is one of the funniest guys we’ve met and Sara has the perfect laugh to go with it.
They were high school sweethearts and we hope they are blessed to grow old together!!
After the ceremony we went to hang out under the bridge and have way to much fun!
One of my favorite things… Table numbers that double as an anniversary card for Sara and Kelly to open on that specific year! Everyone seated at that table is to write a note in the card. We sat at table 23… so they’ll have a fun message from us to read in 23 years!
