AMY+JAMES | lds st paul temple and cotton candy fluffy clouds

Today is January 16th. It is exactly seventeen degrees out. I walked outside with damp sweaty gym hair for exactly 60 seconds… and the ends of my hair froze. So as a little therapy for the soul, I figured it would be good to reflect back on some warmer Minnesota days and a beautiful wedding from the LDS St. Paul Temple!

Take a look and breathe it all in. The fluffy clouds, 1092381 shades of green, (948012 mosquitos), cotton candy bushes, (99% humidity), and absolutely no snow whatsoever. Bliss!

KAMI+MICHAEL | the perfect excuse to wear a floor length gown

Kami and Michael get not one, but TWO wedding anniversary days. Why? Mike is Christian and Kami is Hindu, so they had two separate wedding ceremonies across two separate days. If you’re like me, your first question is, “So did you get to have TWO wedding dresses?!”

And yes, she did.

To celebrate their FIFTEEN YEAR anniversary (er, anniversaries) Kami went all out with another gorgeous dress. "Go casual, go fancy, or anywhere in between!" is my standard advice for clients. But like.... IT IS SO FUN when they choose fancy. Because the truth is that the typical adult doesn’t have a whole lot of occasions for a floor length dress once the wedding is over and that is just the saddest thing.

“It hasn't been easy, health and family weren't too kind to us but here we are 3 kids, a mortgage, and 15 years later stronger than ever. I'd like to think that the worst is behind us.” - Kami
