Katy and Josh are two lovebirds that couldn't be more perfect for each other. Katy is a BEAUTIFUL, gigglie, brunette with charm that can make anyone happy to be around her and Josh is an outdoor loving, down-to-earth easy going kind of guy.
I am stoked for their wedding (I just have to wait over a year for it to arrive...major bummage). They will exchange vows at the AMAZING Tagalong Golf and Resort in stunning Birchwood, WI! I couldn't be happier for these two and am so gosh darn excited for their big day to arrive!

I was *THRILLED* to be a part of Dan and Sinead's lovely vintage inspired, family centered wedding this weekend. With 5 kids eagerly awaiting to become an official family they surrounded their new parents with love, support and "happy tears" as their little girl Gabi told me! :)
Their celebration started with a ceremony at Calvary Baptist Church in downtown Minneapolis. Live music, Italian food, a giant bouncy thing for kids and plenty of lawn games set the stage for their romantic carnival themed wedding reception in a private backyard. Armed with a popcorn machine, kids of all ages had a blast and Dan and Sinead laughed the night away with their closest family and friends as they all celebrated together!
I arrived to find the ladies assembling not only the flower arrangements for the church and reception site, but the wedding party bouquets AND boutonnieres too! Folks, if you have some floral needs....there is raw talent right here! :)

I know....I know....I went a little overboard with the makeup shots, but doesn't she just look STUNNING! I simply couldn't help myself! :)
The girls were excited to do anything they could for their Mommy and jumped on the opportunity to help her with the ever-so-important task of shoes! :) I just love this one!
The bridal room was conveniently located with a stellar view of everyone walking into the church for the ceremony....so Sinead was anxiously announcing the arriving parties as she was getting ready!
Since both Dan and Sinead are not only extrememly musically talented themselves, they have an endless supply of amazing musican friends. Needless to say the ceremony was a tear-jerker through THE ENTIRE thing because the music was ahhh---mazing!
Dan started the whole thing out by coming out and playing a song on the piano (with his 3 groomsmen on the instruments) before Sinead walked down the isle, which got the tears rollin for everyone in the house....

After the ceremony we headed to their favorite spot, The Spyhouse Coffeeshop for a few portraits of the new MR and MRS!
The thing I *most adored* about their wedding is not only did they have their BFF's standing up for them as their wedding party, but they also happened to be the most influential and inspiring couples to surround them in their lives. How cool is that???
Annnnd the BLLLLIIIINNNG! :)
I hope you 2 are *soooooo* LOVING your Italian vacay away from the kidos, snuggling every night and smooching all the time! I was blessed to share your day with you both!!!!!!!!!!

Like 2 peas in a pod......Mustard and Ketchup.......Sauerkraut and Brats (well...ok I live in Wisconsin)...but this is how we roll with the oh-so-amazing Fredrickson family. I can't look back on any time in the recent past and find a week that we did not have dinner together and laugh our heads off! *I LOVE THE FREDRICKSON FAMILY* For how giving they are, caring they are and of course for how stinkin cute their little Nora is!
CONFESSION---these photos were taken about a month ago (I know...I know....) when Nora was about 17 months old. Now she is growing like a bean sprout, singing all the time, growing a quite funny personality, running around everywere and (can you believe this) getting even cutier and more beautiful by the day!!

Don't you just want to kiss her? (Nora that is!) I can't wait until I can sing with her and wander around our gardens together again...maybe tomorrow k???

Combine a beauty with a heart of gold and add humor and spontaneity...that is what you get when you combine Jen and Steve. I think the entire day both Katie and I were laughing hysterically at Steve's jokes and in awe at how sweet and beautiful Ms. Jen was! These 2 are so darn laid back that it didn't feel like work as we watched them tie the knot on Friday at Tanner Brook Golf Club! It was a gorgeous outdoor setting, a balmy 97 degrees out and no wind in sight...boy, IT WAS A HOT ONE! But the troops braved the heat as friends and families gathered to watch Jen and Steve and share in their special day!
There is a gosh-darn cute, red barn at Tanners Brook so of course we decided to start some photos there! :)
Aren't the flowers gorgeous!?!?!? I love how they look not only with the black dresses but how stunning they are with the green and blue sky.......so, thank you Mr. Sun for allowing this triad of colors to look so darn good with your bright and hot, hot, hot light!
OK...so PROPS, HIGH FIVES, and many SHOUT OUT'S to the wedding party for humoring me when I made them trapse into this giant field of weeds for these shots. Not only did we not get bit by any snakes, but ya all look HOOOOOTTT! :)
Again, thank you Mr. Sun for your amazing light! :)
Jen and Steve...you guys ROCKED IT on your wedding day. Not only were people in awe of your gorgeousness, but every single person that was a part of your day had a story with you and that was so COOL! I am wishing many snugglie nights up north on your vacay and I can't wait to see you when you get back! :)

I *adore* this little dude---he is quite possibly my favorite little 3 month old right now! Henry has the roundest belly, the bluest eyes and the most captivating stare with those baby blues of his. I spent some time with him and his Mommy while we tirelessly tried to make this little guy laugh, smile or even make a peep for us---we got nothin! Henry was chill, content and not at all willing to give in to us girls! :)
Despite the smile-less photos I still think that he is one STUNNING little man! Wouldn't you agree???

And those cheeks CRACK. ME. UP.
My theory is that he is going to be a thumb sucker! :)
I just can't get over how amazing his eyes are when he stares into my camera! He is going to be chased by SO MANY girls when he gets big! Watch out Mom and Dad! :)
LOVE LOVE LOVE this one! :)
I can not wait to see those smiles and play with you when you are 6 months little guy! :)
