My Sister's Married!!!


My younger sister Erin got married this past weekend "up north" in Crosslake, MN where my parent's have a cabin. She married David Olson, and while we haven't known him for long, we're happy to welcome him into the family!

The wedding went beautifully, the weather was great, and despite the fact that I was not the photographer (rather a bridesmaid) I managed to take over 400 pictures. Don't ask how... I just can't help myself! Here are a few of my favorites, and a funny one or two as well. (And I'll throw in a couple engagement pix that I took just 3 months before - yes, they planned their wedding in just 3 months - an incredible accomplishment). :)























While not your typical lighting, I thought this photo came off as rather striking.






One of the few photos of me; pinning my sister's dress up so she won't trip.















An especially gorgeous picture of my two other sisters. :)


The reception was held at this location, the White Fish Lodge & Suites in Crosslake. We had the pleasure of staying there for two nights; the hotel is very unique - it has a high-end, up-north feel. (Delia didn't want to leave after spending two nights on the top bunk of her log bed, watching TV in the corner of "her own" room).




























While we couldn't actually get a good picture of my own family, we did manage to get this cute one of Delia & Hunter with their "Bapa & Mimi" - my parents.


Delia and two of her beautiful aunties.


My sleepy little flower girl (but she came through when it came to walking down the aisle!)


















She had these beautiful birch bark candles all over the reception... elegant but rustic.




Hunter "and guest." 6 months old now! Flirting at the reception with a "slightly older babe" - the daughter of my friend Jennie - in his sophisticated get-up.
















Erin & David's engagement pix - we took these back in May. Engaged over Memorial Day Weekend, married Labor Day Weekend!
