I wanted to share a few photos I took a few weeks back when I was assisting the ridiculously talented Eliesa Johnson of Photogen, Inc. for Molly and Patrick's wedding at Aria in Minneapolis. To see some of Eliesa's fantastic work, as well as read the really interesting back story on what happened leading up their wedding, head on over to her blog.
Kinzi + Nolan // Sarona, WI
So I've known Kinzi since college and we stayed in touch when she moved to Minneapolis. One night I was out to eat at Brasa and our waiter was this dapper fellow with a handlebar moustache that I recognized as the same guy I saw the night before pedaling his pedicab down the Nicollet Avenue. I thought to myself "not only is this man handsome, but he obviously loves his bikes. Know who else loves bikes and handsome men? Kinzi."
Little did I know they had met each other a few days before this.
I knew things were serious when Kinzi told me she wanted to bring Nolan as a date to my wedding. When I had my bachelor party at Brasa, Nolan was our waiter. Since I hadn't actually met him yet, I walked up to him and said "Hey, I'm Josh. You're coming to my wedding tomorrow."
Kinzi and Nolan's wedding was a little different that what most people would expect. They had a cocktail hour and dinner before the ceremony so all the guests could get to know one another before the really important stuff happened. They're also the only couple that's wanted a group shot of everyone who came to their wedding. A brilliant idea that needs to catch on if you ask me.
Kinzi and Nolan got married at the lovely Hunt Hill Audubon Sanctuary in Sarona, Wisconsin.
