I had the pleasure of photographing Michelle and Joe’s Minneapolis wedding on Cinco de Mayo this spring.
They were honestly, some of the most amazingly fun people I have worked with. Michelle’s bridesmaids were simply a delight and caused so much wonderful trouble, my second shooter had trouble keeping up with them! One of them told me a story that she called Michelle and asked if it was ok that the dress she had picked out for the wedding was “basically a tutu.” Michelle said that was totally fine. How awesome is THAT? I told them it was not only a great question to be asked but obviously the best answer possible.
Michelle and Joe were married at Five, the historical Fifth police precinct of Minneapolis. It’s such a great and unique venue, I love working there. It was raining when we first arrived but it cleared up right before the ceremony and we were able to go outside for fun and pictures. The ever adventurous bridesmaids even had a little fun with the police officer on hand to help at the event. Wow!
There was so much joy and love at this wedding it was really a privilege to be able to attend. From the obvious thrill as they saw each other walking down the isle, to the gentle teasing during their vows, it was a delight. Michelle and Joe were wonderful at their first dance and the band they hired was a lot of fun. They clearly took some lessons for their dance and it really paid off. It was followed up by Michelle’s dance with her father and he was quite smooth on the dance floor!
Really, it was a perfect evening! Congratulations Michelle and Joe!
