Ok, so I might have gone a little overboard with the family pics but I have to add one more... You might have noticed from the pictures, Lindsay was born in South Korea. Dan's parents adopted her when she was four months old -- Dan was 2. I just can't resist posting this next one because it's so special to their family and part of Lindsay's story!
Instead of doing a unity candle they each brought dirt from their hometowns and put it in the pot and then they planted the tree in their backyard. Dan's mom is behind Lindsay --- she and Dan's dad have been married for 37 years. They are THE BEST in-laws I could ever ask for!
This is a very special post because Lindsay, the bride, is Dan's little sister!! Lindsay and her husband Jon were married in St. Paul, Minnesota (they live there and so did Dan's family when they were little). In their family, Lindsay is the youngest, Dan is in the middle and Ben is the oldest. Here are a few old family photos :)
Aren't they so cute!? I might be in trouble with Dan for that third one!!

Awwww, so, so sweet!
Now everybody's all grown up --- Lindsay & her new husband Jon, who is really cool and PS we are all going to Jamaica together for Christmas and I CAN'T WAIT!!
And then here is Ben (Dan's older brother) & his wife Heather. They are expecting a baby in Febuary - YAY!! Ben is determined to NOT find out the sex of the baby, which is driving Dan's mom (and me) crazy --- and that's probably what that little smirk on his face is all about (among possibly a million other things) -- haha.
So, here are a few of our faves from Lindsay and Jon's wedding!!
A note from Jon + rings :)
Here is one that I personally love that probably won't make it into Lindsay's album. It describes what they day was like for me. This is Dan (don't worry he changed clothes before the wedding), Heather (Ben's wife) and John (Dan's dad).
Lindsay and Jon got married at the James J. Hill Reference Library in downtown Saint Paul. It is this really big, old, beautiful library with books almost all the way to the ceiling. Their Save the Dates, Invitations, Table numbers, menus and everything had this whole card catalog theme -- so cute!
Outside the library.
Here is a picture inside from the ceremony --- see, books almost all the way to the ceiling!
Heather read during the ceremony and I just love this sweet look Ben is giving her as she walks back to her seat.
Instead of doing a unity candle they each brought dirt from their hometowns and put it in the pot and then they planted the tree in their backyard. Dan's mom is behind Lindsay --- she and Dan's dad have been married for 37 years. They are THE BEST in-laws I could ever ask for!This is something that I don't see very often in the south but apparently it's really huge in other places -- a receiving line. This is Dan's sweet, sweet 86 year old grandma giving Linds a kiss after the ceremony. Dan's favorite picture.
The next two are also the receiving line... They had beautiful light for this and since the line itself is something I'm not used to so I really like these.
Aside from the last image of Lindsay & Jon, the photo on the left is my personal favorite of the day. I really love it because to me, it describes the day: perfect weather, family, smiling faces, everyone happy to see one another.
My fav!! The end! Linds & Jon -- see you in Jamaica mon! xo

This is probably the best (and most personal) shoot I have every seen. This is awesome stuff. The library is a very unique setting and beautiful. I really think Dan will understand the personal photos since it helps tell the story (at least that's the angle I'd take!!!) Keep making great works!
