All Stars + Ice Cream = Love

Bret and Emily. Married.

I really can’t say enough awesome things about these two people. They are funny, they are sweet, they are charming, they are beautiful (inside and out) and they love each other tremendously. The entire day was FILLED with this love.

I asked them to describe their wedding day in one word.

You know what they said?  Musical, Magical, Lutheran. That is not really one word but that was really how the day played out.

They vowed their lives to one another at Lord of Life Lutheran Church.  Following the musical, magical and lutheran ceremony, was a fun-filled evening at La Scala.

Now let’s check out these beautiful photographs and let them tell the story of the fabulous day….



This guy right here, this guy is gettin’ hitched.


My girl, KK, came out to shoot with me. She’s been really busy this summer being a fabulous mommy to her two little angels. I can say she has been missed dearly. And her lovely shots.. like the one above and below.


A bride putting on her gown is probably one of my favorite moments during a wedding day. Look, she’s glowing.



Look at this little fella. He’s so proud to wear his little tux and matching all star shoes!

A bridesmaid made it an extra AWESOME day for Emily. She gifted the bride her favorite ice cream. Hello, awesome!

Here comes the bride!


Their first look at one another. Love it!

Just have a HUGE bridal party and they can easily decorate the church.


I think it is so touching when loved ones are involved in the ceremony. It happened several times on this beautiful day. Here is Bret’s mother joining the happy couple as they exchange rings.


All Stars. A GORRRGE wedding gown. Super cool.

The groom serenaded his bride.

She was all smiles.


Check out Bret’s face here. Priceless.

He’s such a character!



Ohh la la.


Emily is beautiful. Bret is hilarious. That’s really a great combo if you ask me.


And, they need no direction. This is all natural. All love.







Orange nails, blue flippys.

I heart pocket dresses!



Mmm..cake.

Caught red handed.




Smashing of the cake. Another favorite moment of mine. And the groom asking me to follow them to the restroom to get the cleanup.




We set up a BLAST of a “photobooth”. A special thanks to Tasha for running it. Here we are…rockin’ it out. Tasha, KK, and yours truly.





Hilarious.


The lovebirds.


And…one more shot of the All Stars. Because they rock!

Congrats newlyweds.  I wish you a lifetime of happiness and love!
