The Doescher Family

Another awesome family! I first met these guys at Alan and Karla's wedding this summer! It was so fun to see them again and capture their family during the fall.








William!



Elsa!



Eva!

Andrew, Juliette, and family

Another super cool family! Juliette's eyes are to die for and Andrew is the sweetest big brother ever. He is also on the verge of losing his two front teeth...I tried to convince him to let me take a before (with teeth) and after (without teeth) photo but he wasn't so sure about that!

The Vogt Family

I love this little family...their 2 kids are just so cute!

Nolan

I love this guy's big eyes and expressions! So fun! His dog, Tula, was also a cutie!





Mom and dad kissing? Seriously?!






Baby Zoolander?



Nolan left a surprise on the bed shortly after this shot!

Claudia

With the risk of sounding redundant, check out this cutie, Claudia and her family! This is the second time I've gotten to photograph her and she keeps getting more adorable! We had some beautiful fall weather at Lake Harriet...I love the beachy feel to their photos! Thanks so much for a fun morning, Claudia and family!

Sophie and Family

Sophie...isn't she a doll!?!?

Emily and Mike

A ginger-headed boy a small raven-haired girl were married at the gorgeous Assumption Catholic Church in St. Paul followed by dinner and dancing at the Landmark Center. Mike and Emily had fabulous autumn weather on their day and I loved the classic feel that was carried out in all the details of their celebration. However, the weather and details were not the only things that were beautiful. Emily was STUNNING and even more so when surrounded by Mike and the abundance of their family and friends. It is evident that there is not a shortage of love in either family. Congratulations, Emily and Mike! It was both an honor and a joy to be a part of your day!


To take advantage of the sweet light, they chose to see each other before the ceremony...a great choice!



Doesn't her expression just scream "happiness"!?!?









My favorite of the day.



Forgoing the formal photos in the front of the church, Emily and Mike decided to take a more casual and relaxed approach to their "formal" photos. They did them all outside at Rice Park in St. Paul. I loved it! We did a couple of just the two of them afterwards!









Emily's dad had a plan to minimize tears/stress prior to walking down the isle....the plan: giving Emily a pair of Mr. Potatohead glasses!



Almost time...



Did I mention how gorgeous Assumption Catholic Church is? Because it is.



And now for the Dick Tracy series:









Lots of dancing ensued! They had an awesome DJ, Rheo Johansen!



That dress was made for dancing!

Megan and Scott

I think the hardest part about moving to a new city is meeting new friends. So when Molly's former roommate introduced me to her friend from college (did you catch all that?), I was ecstatic to meet a potential new friend! I guess meeting new friends is sort of like the dating scene which is why Megan and Scott and Justin and I referred to our first get together as a date! I'm happy to say that we just celebrated our 1 1/2 year anniversary of being friends! Megan and Scott are great. Some of our fondest memories from Rochester thus far have involved Megan and Scott including their recent introduction to the fabulous and addicting game of marbles (all inquiries for who is ahead in this game can be directed toward Megan and me). And one more thing, Ike is in love with their dog, Chloe.
