Steve & Patti: Earl Brown wedding

The year had come to an end, but that was exactly what Steve and Patti were waiting for.  After months of meticulous and careful planning, the sun arose on New Year’s Eve 2011.

This was the day that Patti would walk down the aisle, bad knee and all, and confess her “I do’s” to Steve.  A few months earlier, actually a couple weeks after Patti and Steve’s rainy engagement session, Patti was playing on her women’s soccer league and injured  her knee. Surgery was called for.  A few months of rehab as well.  Now the question was, would she even be able to walk down the aisle?

Heels were definitely out of the question, so was standing for longer periods of time, but after lots of rest and healing, Patti DID walk down the aisle.  And she DID dance all night, and DID ring in the New Year, and had the best day of her life.  It was a joy to work with such an amazing, flexible and happy couple.  I couldn’t have been happier to have shared the last day of 2011 with such a fabulous couple.  Patti and Steve, congratulations and much love as you start your lives together!

    Patti and Steve: Details of a St. Paul wedding

    Details of a wedding bring the personality of the bride and groom to life. Patti and Steve brought in their favorite touches to make the details of their December wedding beautiful.

    Patti’s dress was purchased at Wedding Connection and it is a Mori Lee Dress.

    I loved the “Mrs. Peichel” hanger that Patti used.

    Being that Orange is Patti’s favorite color, she really wanted to incorporate into some of the details of her day.  Being that it was December, orange is a hard one to pull off.  She did it though, bringing in her favorite flowers (also hard to find in December) Tulips. Forever in Bloom Floral made the buds look ama-z-ing!

    She also pulled out the orange bling with some great orange flats.

    The ladies dresses were MoriLee Dresses a variety and purchased at the Wedding Chapel in Crystal.

    The men sported Men’s Warehouse attire.

    Patti also pulled out another orange bit.  Because she injured her knee playing soccer earlier in the summer and had to go into surgery not too long after, she was prohibited by her doctors to wear heels.  She brought out some orange Saucony after the wedding ceremony, and used them to dance the night away, bad knee and all!She carried an old hankerchif and wore bracelet and earrings (as a gift from her mother) from Macy’s.

    Purple invites were created by Rochella Jean Studio of Design.LeAnn Stadt of Mary Kay did all the ladies make up.

    The ceremony was held at Patti’s home church Church of St. Jerome.

    Patti’s hair was done by Minnesota Hair in Maplewood.

    Patti’s ring was created at Helzberg Diamonds, and Steve’s ring was his father’s.  Passed down to him, it has not only Patti and Steve’s wedding date engraved, but also his parent’s.

    Because Steve is an engineer, and wanted to be involved in the planning process, he created all the centerpieces for the wedding.  He created the vase,light, circuit and all, to make it completely their own!Earl Brown held the festive reception.DorothyAnn Bakery in Woodbury designed the cake for the evening.

    More to come tomorrow of this beautiful couple!

      Their joy and laughter is contagious.  It carries to those around them making them smile.  Terry and Stacy are just that way.  They are people you want to be around.  Want to get to know.  Want to laugh with.  It was a joy filled session as we walked around Como Park in St. Paul, only miles from their home.  I was grateful to spend a fall Sunday afternoon with them.

        Steve and Laura: James J. HIll Reference Library wedding

        Stunning.  I probably used that word over 100 times while I was photographing Laura and Steve.  I just could not get over the two of them, the sunlight, the wedding party, the flowers, the details, and the perfectness (is that even a word?!) of their wedding day.  The James J Hill Reference Library was a perfect venue for Steve and Laura to tie the knot.  We ventured around Rice Park’s beautiful locations, and then spent the hot July evening celebrating Steve and Laura.  Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your day, it was wonderful!


        And here is your slide show!
