Colin: Class of 2012
For real.
His new t-shirts came in. Some of his favorite musicians. Primus. Ween. Weezer. Elliot Smith.
Nice.
When we were doing his consult I asked what he was into. Reading. Guitars. Music.
Got it. I can do this.
When we're at the library taking a few shots, I told him to grab a book. Shoot, now I've forgotten what it was called, but I could totally see my husband and I enjoying it. Colin, tell me what it's called again! Anyways, he tells me, "I have that book."
Of course he does.
I swear, if I were in High School right now, he'd be in my circle of friends.
Anyways.
Micah & Ashlie
Even though they grew up a couple of hours away from each other, they met in New York five years ago.
Doesn't that sound like the beginning of a romantic comedy?
*sigh*
It's perfect.
If you know me, you know I love romance, comedy, and DIY brides.
They got married on Saturday in New Ulm, Minnesota with friends and family coming from Iowa, New York, Pennsylvania, Florida, Illinois and beyond. It was a gorgeous fall day, especially out on Indian Point where they all got ready and we did the pictures before the ceremony at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses.
Ashlie modified her Grandma's wedding gown and they found the perfect material to make a matching veil. Her maids made their dresses, and they were beautiful. They even crafted their own bouquets out of a mixture of fresh and silk blooms. Can you see why I'm digging this? YES!
Even one of the ushers coordinated his glasses to match his suit and the bridal colors. That doesn't happen every day, that's for sure!

| As soon as I saw the rope swing, I was hooked. I NEEDED IT IN A PHOTO! |
|
| The ceiling on the dance floor was so beautiful with poms, lights and Chinese lanterns. |
The Boie Family
Since everyone was in town gathering for Ashlie & Micah's wedding, the Boie family asked me to do a family portrait session before the wedding on Saturday! They had me out to their home outside of New Ulm. Gorgeous fall colors!
|
| Joel came from New York, Alyssa from Vermont. They're getting married in Vermont in November! |
|
|
Mom & Dad are so adorable together! |
|
| Ashlie & Micah came from New York, too! |
|
| The whole family! |
Brittany & Micah: The Wedding!
 |
| Cracked me up that Micah tossed a fifty cent piece. Made me laugh harder when the Pastor said he'd better do 2 out of 3! |
 |
| Micah had great details in his ensemble. Cufflinks+hat+cane=very sharp. |
 |
| I love the detail shot of the rings. |
 |
| Their favorite girl, Emma, wasn't allowed in the church, but she still met them outside decked out in her prettiest attire! |
 |
| Brittany added shimmer and shine throughout her look! Love those eyelashes! |
Brittany & Micah: The Engagement Session!
Brittany & Micah are another set of troopers. It was another hot and buggy day. Yes, buggy. Buggy means lots of bugs. I was a super genius and even though I thought I should stop and pick up some water, I didn't. I didn't feel very good. Lesson learned.
ALWAYS BUY WATER!
 |
| Can you spot the Engagement ring? |
 |
| Kissing on the "Kissing Rock". |
 |
| I love to have my sessions fit the model. When I found out that they love to camp and spend time outdoors, I had ideas to fit their ideas! |
