Joel can make Shauna giggle, crack up and nearly pee her pants at the drop of a hat! TRUE STORY! These 2 are absolutely fun and do nothing but entertain each other with their funny one-liners, comments and super outgoing personalities! They are tying the knot in September and I am soooo excited for the big day!
I am not sure what is going on in this one....probably Joel's version of "googlie eyes".....eyyyeeeeyyy eyyyyeeee! I told you they were a handful! :)
They were pretty daring to pick up the nasty, cob-web filled street cones....but I have to say that these photos are my MOST FAVORITE EVER!!!!! Don't you think?
I can't wait to see what kind of schenanigans we get into at their wedding!!! :) Stay tuned........

Tira is amazing and Job is simply cool. Tira has endless, fabulous dreams that all boil down to the wonderful helping and caring nature that she has (although we did discuss in length as to how neither of us are nurturers to our husbands/soon-to-be-husbands when they are sick....eh!). And Job recently bought and now owns the wonderful Wheelhouse Cycles in Red Wing, MN....so if you are looking for anything bicycling...he is your man!
A brand new business that is quite awesome I might say, a women with dreams as high as the sky and 2 people wildly in love. Sounds like a good romantic comedy to me....eh???? Well we had a great afternoon together in Downtown Hudson while we chatted away about wedding plans and many other things. I am tell ya.....they are simply cool.......
(oh---and if you are wonderful why the heck Job's parents would name him Job....pronounced like "Honey, I'm home...I got a job today as a mailman!"...well, they didn't. His real name is actually Andrew, but since he looks so much like Odd-Job from the James Bond movies it quickly became his "name" to almost everyone!) Just a little tid-bit of info for you! :)

I think that I am quite possibly in love with these 2 because of how in love and awesome they are! I had a blast from the past when Shayna contacted me this past fall because I knew her a loooong time ago working together on TEC retreats....a looong time ago! Needless to say she contacted me and when we got together for coffee to catch up and chat about her wedding we ended up talking until wee hours of the night. Shayna and Joel both have incredible stories about where they are at today and how they got together----seriously if you have time and want a good tear to run down your cheek from how sweet they both are...call her!
They are probably some of the most caring and genuine people I have met and Shayna's giggle is simply contagious! And her laugh is stinkin cute on camera....

Last week during the cold spell (although some would argue that up here in St. Paul we always have a cold spell in the winter time) AJ, Michelle and I headed out to shoot their engagement session in downtown Rice Park. We even headed indoors for a few in the amazing Landmark Center right next to the park.
I am not sure that we could have had more fun together that Saturday morning! I can't explain how excited I am for their big weekend wedding in Rochester in October of this year. They both have AMAZING smiles, as you can see, and are absolutely perfect on camera. I could tell right from the get-go that they were totally into each other and that it didn't take much for AJ to make Michelle laugh, as you can see from some of the photos.
Stunning...just beautiful....can't you see???

And they were so snugglie too---I guess when you are in love that is the only option to keep warm on these frigid Minnesota days! :)
AJ's look at the camera in this one just gets me...
The Landmark center is not only beautiful but has some pretty amazing lighting that we had to use...and it was near some elevators, what could be better?
And then back outside for some more :)
Thanks for such a fun morning guys! I ABSOLUTELY can not wait for October 2nd and 3rd!
