It is always an honor when asked to photograph a wedding of a vendor that works in the business. Luda is a florist (See her web-site HERE) and we met a few years ago at a mutual friend’s wedding. Since then we have remained in contact and when she called to ask if I’d be willing to shoot her wedding, I was thrilled.
The wedding took place at Forepaughs in St. Paul. Because Luda is from Russia, she and Jon decided to have a very intimate wedding with very close friends and family. We headed toward Irvine park and down to the river front to do most of their photos.
When Luda and I were discussing the details of the day, I asked if she had any cultural items that she wanted to use as props. Because she had just come back from Russia, she brought Jon a very Russian looking hat. When I asked her if she had a cover up or jacket, I loved her reply: “Of course I’m from Russia, I have a Fur coat!”
Thank you Jon and Luda for allowing me to be a part of your wedding day. Many blessings to you as you enter into marriage.
Special thinks to Joan at Forepaughs (See site HERE) in St. Paul, Jennie at the Paper Garden (See site HERE) and Andrea their wedding planner for all their help in accommodating Jon, Luda and me, as we were running all over taking photos.
