The thing I absolutely LOVE about destination weddings is the fact that everyone gets to really know each other so well that by the time the wedding rolls around, everybody feels like family! We all spent a week down in Mexico and had a blast together - and the wedding was absolutely stunning!
Brad and Kristan have a sense of humor unlike any other couple I have met! They are so much fun and one of their friends said it best," There is no better couple than Brad and 'Stan', these two are a perfect match!"
I couldn't agree more!
¡Felicidades!
Congratulations to Brad and Kristan!!
LOVEe

This issue features our work from the amazing Snyder Wedding this past summer! They had the perfect wedding to be published...no to mention they are one smokin' couple!
It's a big goal of mine to get as many weddings published as possible, but also in legit, stellar publications. I consider MN Bride to be one of the best and it is an honor to be featured in their magazine yet again!
Make sure to pick up your issue - on news stands now!

This is exactly how I would describe the love that Brian and Casey have for each other. I have fallen in love with these two and I know that they will be friends for life! One of the things that I admire about their relationship is how much value it has. Really, everything that Brian and Casey put their efforts into is because they believe in it. Family is the biggest thing they value and it shows in every relationship they have with their family and friends.
I take all of my clients out for dinner before their wedding. Casey, Brian and I spent 4 hours at dinner and I think we could have sat there all night. When they arrived, Brian said, "You know, with all business set aside, we would absolutely love for you to come to our rehearsal dinner and just meet our families and enjoy it with us. Yes, you are our photographer, but we would just love to continue this relationship on with you long after our wedding." I believe my response to this was. "Hell yes I will come!" The night of their rehearsal dinner, I felt this bundle of love inside of me, because I was surrounded by this couple's closest family and friends...and I knew that they valued my relationship that much to be included in their special little circle!
The McCullough's wedding was absolutely perfect! My favorite part was their wedding party. A little-awesome-secret about this couple is that they are BOTH twins! Their wedding party consisted of their twin standing up for them. Talk about a very cool dynamic.
Ceremony: The Basilica of St Mary
Reception: Profile Event Center
Photo Location: The Sculpture Garden
Photo Booth: The Traveling Photo Booth
A HUGE congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs.!! I am SO happy for you two!

(01.14.10 @ 02:08 PM)I love my wife!!!
(01.14.10 @ 07:18 PM)So SPECIAL! You two look so happy. May your lives be filled with endless hugs and kisses!!
(01.14.10 @ 11:09 PM)Thank you Eliesa (and Melissa & Brandon)!! We absolutely love the pictures, we couldn't have asked for better photographers! We had a blast hanging out with you and think that you are terrific at your job. Can't wait to see the rest of the images. And... I love my husband, he's the best
(01.15.10 @ 10:19 PM)Dear Eliesa, Brandon and Melissa, Thank you for the exquisite photographs of Casey and Brian's most perfect Wedding Day. You were all so enjoyable to have with us that day and your artistry is breathtaking. i love your eye for the details most of us would pass over. The little glass bird in the flower pot was one of many birds in the flowers at Casey's Father's funeral two years ago. With that image he is now in our memories forever as a part of this very special day. Thank you all from the very proud Mother of the Bride.
(01.16.10 @ 12:14 PM)I have never seen a more artistically beautiful and intimate capture of the moments of love and joy two people share as they begin their journey into a shared life as man and wife. What a priviledge to look into these beautiful photos and share these emotions with Casey and Boy-Wonder! Thank you! All my Love and Blessings to you both. Congratulations!!!
(01.25.10 @ 12:32 PM)I got my film back from the Eichten wedding, which was our grand finale to the 2009 season and I absolutely love how these images turned out! I absolutely adored this wedding and apparently so did the ladies over at Southern Weddings! Emily and Eddie have received a 2 part feature + interview on the oh-so-popular Southern Weddings Blog!
Check it out!
Emily + Eddie: Part I
Emily + Eddie: Part II
We are always SO excited to be featured on such a lovely site!
Enjoy!

Over the top lovely and fully of life. I'm sure in 2010 Southern Wedding will have a editor camped outside your studio waiting for the next great idea.
Tell us more about your film. Looks like a few different types and cameras. The lip gloss shot -- her eyes and hair are so luscious in detail. I can't wait for more film from you. I see that the bride is an art therapist -- neat people. So is my sister @ minneapolis Childrens oncology clinic if she wants someone to speak with about MN art therapy.
Emily's hair and eyes are NATurally luscious and gorgeous, but the Photogen team did an incredible job of showcasing the amazingness of this loverly bride and groom and their awesome styiciousness!
