Phil and Melissa showed the world a great way to have a wedding on a sunny Sunday afternoon in June. The bride, groom, myself, and about 15 or so friends and family headed over to the old Hwy 101 bridge in Shakopee for a wedding! As always, Owen stole the show with his energy and antics, running down the bridge so fast I was able to click a photo with both of his feet off the ground. The wonderful families of this sweet couple posed for some group photos together, their colorful attire popping against the green of the trees. Once we were wrapped up with those groups, I stole the couple away from the crowd to do some photos of them together prior to the inevitable crying during the ceremony. The area under the bridge made for a dramatic backdrop and I loved how Melissa's purple dress complimented Phil's tie so perfectly. Back to the top of the bridge, the ceremony was led by a good friend of the couple, Lucas (who just so happens to also be my brother). There were plenty of laughs..and also some emotional and happy tears. Thank goodness a friend brought the box of tissues! Phil & Melissa's personal vows to each other were incredibly sweet and heartwarming. After Owen reluctantly handed off the rings, Lucas then presented the couple to the small group gathered for their first kiss as husband and wife. Heading back to the reception, we were greeted with a colorful bounce house! Inside the hall, everyone stuffed themselves with some amazing cooking (props to Melissa!) and enjoyed congratulating the couple. We snuck in a few more family images - including one of four generations of the men of the family, which was super cool. Of course, we couldn't pass up incorporating a few bounce house portraits into the mix either. Congratulations, Phil & Melissa!

These are AMAZING! What a fun day. There's so much color in these photos - the clothes, the green leaves, the bounce house!!!! I think the ring photos are my favorite, though ;)
