A side-note to Dan & Karin’s beautiful wedding…As some of you know I am taking photographs without all my gear due to a small kitchen fire in my home. All is well, but there has been significant smoke damage to the Nikon equipment and my editing bay. I am still taking a few easy assignments but am waiting to get back into full swing before accepting my usual busy schedule….!!!

What a wedding weekend it was for Karin & Dan Hinrichs…!!! There were just so many well-wishers and fun memories — Isabella & her junior posse, great all-night dancing to St John Entertainment, a superb dinner at the Mill Hotel, amazing friends & family — plus this was a real love story in the making. It was an honor & pleasure to be their photographer. Just a side note — this was one of my only weddings in years to actually FOLLOW their time schedule. So very surprising, but nice…!!!

Sometimes even a local photographer misinterprets the marvel of nature’s splendor. I traveled to the Elk River searching for the gorgeous colors of autumn leaves, and instead found that my expectations had to be curtailed by just beautiful green.
