Megan and Chris.  Two of the sweetest kids ever.  Kind, caring…and good looking to boot!  No Bridezilla’s here…in fact, we did all of the outdoor pictures in the rain!  Well, it was a light drizzly mist, but we were all definitely wet.  Did anyone complain once?  Well, anyone besides me? Nope.  Megan was a total trooper, and just did a quick ‘re-curl’ of her hair before the wedding…that’s one tough cookie!

Chris’ only request for the day:  a picture by a birch tree (for his mom, who loves herself some birch), cute huh?

The shot above is totally them, cute, sweet & in love.  The shot below is totally NOT them, but I freakin love it, you guys look so tough…and hot   That’s what we in the biz call ‘fierce’.

Megan in this next shot ‘peek’ (okay, her and Chris are the only ones that will find that funny…but that’s okay)

Both the bride and groom are PK’s (aka:  Pastors kids).  So, they were blessed to have both dads conduct parts of  their service.

This shot of them hugging is the last shot I was able to capture of their day.  My.  camera.  just.  stopped.  working.   AHHHH major panic.  My second shooter was up in the balcony, and by the time I was able to get her, all of the hugging and high fiving moments were over   UGH.   I ran to the car and got my backup camera, but by then, there wasn’t much left to photograph, except blobs of people hugging the bride and groom.  Oh well, at least it waited till the very last second to quit.  On my way home, we stopped at national camera exchange in Maple Grove.  Nobody there had ever seen the error my camera was giving.  (for those interested, it kept telling me that all my camera cards were at ZERO, and wouldn’t allow me to take any pictures).  I called Nikon THREE times that weekend, and each time, was told they had never heard of that error…I was ‘this’ close to packaging up my beloved camera for a long 2 month journey to the repair shop in California…when I thought to call the National Camera Exchange one last time.  I called the Golden Valley store, because I’ve had good luck in the past with their knowledgeable staff.  Sure enough, I got a dude on the phone (I think his name was Ben?), and within 30 seconds, my camera problems were over!   Apparently, some cameras have a little number counter that adds up each time you click the shutter.  When the number gets too high, you need to create a new folder within the camera.  WEIRD!  And why wouldn’t Nikon know this?  Hello?!  Anyways, just thought I’d write that all out…who knows, maybe I’ll save someone else from this little debacle someday!
