Family Reunion in the "Valley" (Browns Valley, MN)

Summertime it the time for family reunions.

We had one last week on Lake Traverse near Browns Valley, MN

Beautiful days of sun, playing with the kids, eating all the great summer BBQ food
& great nights sitting around the campfire talking with the relatives.

...I even got in a little fishing in...
(I caught a 26+ inch Northern!!)

We even went out into the rural areas of South Dakota...

There is nothing like 'small-town' America.

Storm was a brewing on the Prairie.

Went and visited some of the relatives who were gracious enough to take the kids
(and some of us adults)
for an old fashioned horse and carriage ride.

Meghan & Jeramy

Summer is in FULL swing!

Weddings are rolling and so is the fun.

On Friday, July 25th Meghan & Jeramy got married downtown
Minneapolis @ The Crown Plaza Northstar Hotel.

We met prior to the ceremony and wandered around for a while.

It was great just to take a walk with the Bride, Groom & the Wedding Party to find out what there was out there...

Lesley & Brett

I had the honor to be the photographer for Leslie & Brett's wedding on Saturday July 12th.

We had a great day.

It was a bit windy, but we were still able to find a park that allowed us to shoot some amazing stuff.

Then the party 'really' got going!

I have never seen so many kamikazes!!!

They drank every drop....very impressive.

The Crown Plaza (downtown St. Paul) is a beautiful location.

Everyone hit the dance floor...

I hated to leave the party.

Congratulations, you two!
It was an honor to be a part of your day!
