Hope you enjoyed the photo slideshow. I think from now on our blog posts will look like this as opposed to embedded jpgs. If anyone who checks our blog consistently has any feedback on this we’d love to hear it!
Karin and I had an awesome New Years eve at the St. Paul hotel with Courtney and Khia. It was a fun (although challenging) location to work at… and their friends, family and hotel guests everywhere. Their two boys were hilarious… and although they did a great job holding it together for the formal pictures they were zooming around any time they could. Although it was several degrees below zero Khia (the bride) really wanted to do some outdoor pictures at rice park in St. Paul. The first 2 minutes felt good after the heat and close quarters of the hotel… but after the initial cooldown, and by the time we had walked to the park it was downright freezing! Thats MN for ya.
On a technical note Karin and I realized that this was our first wedding done entirely with artificial light. I do love using natural light, either outdoors or coming in through windows, but it is nice to know that we’re up to the challenge! The last wedding that we photographed which was entirely in a hotel was at the Embassy Suites in Bloomington early in the summer. You can view several of the photos in our wedding photography galleries from that Minneapolis, MN wedding
on our website. There are a lot of advantages to having the wedding ceremony and reception in the same location, and for a New Years Eve wedding it was perfect!
You guys were so awesome! Sorry to hear that we provided some challenges, but you did an AMAZING job. And, it wouldn’t be like us to make anything easy or quiet! 😉
