Mr. and Mrs. Sorensen

A marriage eight years in the making, Jen and Nick exchanged their vows May 22. Theirs was a beautiful ceremony that centered on the importance of family, with all their respective brothers and sisters (along with cousins and friends) members of the bridal party. A few snafus delayed our picture taking. (I've learned in the last 8 years or so of wedding photography, that a wedding day isn't complete without a snafu of some sort.) A missing white shirt for one of the groomsmen was really the only snafu, and Jen was unflappable - she quickly arranged a fix, and we were good to go. We worried a bit about rain eliminating our outdoor photo plans, but a brief 20 minute shower before the ceremony was all we wound up with.

Following the ceremony, we went to three locations with the wedding party - the St. Lucas Care Center to see Jen's grandpa, the Riverbend Nature Center to photograph the bridal party on a site donated by Jen's grandpa, then on to Shattuk-St. Mary's with just Jen and Nick. (I could have stayed there for hours.)

Their reception venue, the Vintage Ballroom and Suites, is very cool! They provided the catering (delicious), and Nick's aunt baked their wedding cake.

Here are just a few pictures from their day.

Congratulations Jen and Nick! I'll get your previews out to you in two - three weeks.

Mr. and Mrs. Mohr

Pure joy. There are many other words that could describe the wedding of Tammie and Brian Mohr, but pure joy sums it up the best. The details were carefully planned, and shared with everyone via their wedding website, www.brianandtammie.com.

It was as if the weather was planned just for their day. Following a couple of weeks of March-like weather, Saturday delivered mild temperatures and bright sunshine through the morning that gave way to "perfect" overcast skies for our outdoor photos at the Schell Brewery after the ceremony.

The day started out at the beautiful Bohemian Bed and Breakfast. Tammie and her attendants got ready here. We then headed to the Cathedral of the Holy Trinity for the ceremony.

Here are a few of the many, many pictures taken. A special thanks goes out to Bobbi Urban, who assisted me. I can't wait to see and share her images.

Their getaway car was the same one used by Brian's parents for their wedding August 25, 1979.

Everyone at the reception gathered for a group photo prior to the dinner.

Tammie and Brian, thank you for letting me be a part of your wedding day. It was an honor and a pleasure!
