It has been a while since I've posted on this blog and if you read my last post you will know why. I'm finally getting caught up. Now just to get ahead a little bit. To all of my wonderful clients, thank you for you patience and understanding.
When I started photography 10 years ago, I really started out of an interest in the technicality of photography. Photography as a craft is highly technical: iso, focal length, f-stop, megapixels, shutter speed, flash guide numbers, megabytes, gigabytes, gigahertz, etc. Photography for me when I began was really material for my enjoyment of the technical aspect of photography.
Every once in a while I am graced to be able to step back and look at myself in action from a more detached viewpoint and when I do so I am surprised to find myself changed. After my shoot with Kelsey and Wade, as I was driving home, I realized that not once during the entire shoot did the technical aspects of photography entire in to my conscious. The camera was simply an extension of my hand and eye and the manipulation of the camera was no more conscious than the manipulation of my hand to hold or eye to see.
So what? It was again, for me, a recognition that I've changed. I shoot now to see life. The camera is simply my ticket to look at life and relationships and be struck again by the newness that reality always is, to be moved by gift of the circumstances which I get to see.
Being moved is simply a reaction of my heart to seeing.
Wade and Kelsey.... thanks.
Tim

What is love but the gift of oneself to another,
expecting nothing in return, but rather
abandoning oneself to the good of another
and in this abandonment
experiencing my own fulfillment.
Mike and Jeri-Sue, thank you for letting me into your lives on such an important day surrounded by great friends and family. Your love moves me.

Barry and Debbie drove up from the Twin Cities to shoot their engagement session with me in the woods of the Brainerd Lakes Area and the tremendous fall colors that were here only a short time ago.
Many major, life changing events have happened in my life in the past few weeks and I want to thank Barry and Debbie for their patience with me. I want to thank all of my clients for their patience with me.
Barry and Debbie, enjoy your engagement images and thank you for being with me on that beautiful fall day.

Fryxellent.... if you don't personally know David and Rebecca you might not know the correct pronunciation to make this funny, but if you do it's freekin' funny if I do say so myself.... okay, maybe cheesy and childish, but still funny as hell. David and Rebecca's wedding was freekin' Fryxellent!
On a more serious note, here's a toast to you guys. May you both be forever more and more true to your hearts and may today forever be the day that you love each other the least.
Enjoy your images and thanks for letting me be part of and expressing my viewpoint of a major event in your life.

My day started with the ladies getting ready at J Amelia's Salon in Pequot Lakes. If you are getting married in the area I would strongly recommend stopping in to visit with Joanie.
Here's the wonderful Joanie of J'Amelia's Salon in Pequot Lakes. A superb salon.
Preston and Aimee were married at Timberwood Church in Nisswa, MN.

After the ceremony we headed to Zorba's on Gull for a few drinks.
Preston and Aimee's reception and dance was at a local restaurant called Mayson's Grille, the food was great and the venue offered a unique atmosphere.
Preston and Aimee were my first couple yet to have a karaoke option at their wedding dance and it was well used by family and friends.
Preston decided to participate in the karaoke and serenade his new wife!
WHOA!!!
Jennifer:

I was introduced to Jeri and Mike through one of Jeri's good friend's who just happens to be the awesome wedding coordinator at my two favorite wedding and reception locations in the Crosslake Area: Manhattan Beach Lodge and Whitefish Lodge.
Then I show up to photography their engagement session to find my favorite florist, Sarah from Lime Greenery, there because she's good friend with Jeri as well! Great way to start a session.
Our session started at Moonlite Bay where Mike and Jeri both work and where their reception will be held.

Weddings are so awesome and Travis and Kate's was no exception. Beautiful weather, fun wedding party and great families, all around a great wedding. You may recall Travis and Kate engagement session on Blog 2.0.
Wedding season is running full tilt right now, so please forgive me if it takes a little longer than normal for me to reply to emails and return phone calls.
My day started with the ladies getting ready at The Lodge at Brainerd Lakes.
This image sums up the utility and ingenuity of Kate who solved quite a dilemma. She wanted her and Travis's first time seeing each other on their wedding day to be someplace remote and private, but at the same time didn't want to have a car at the Arboretum to sorry about. The problem was solved by blind folding Travis so Kate could ride with him on the limo and then they wouldn't have to worry about a car!
Slideshows are wonderful.
Hilarious game for entertainment of their guests and umm.... wedding party!
Kate's father made an awesome slideshow for the couple that played as they danced the Father/Daughter Dance.
Umm..... HELLO!
Don't worry little girl, those aren't really guns...
Here are the guys from the wedding party celebrating their victory in the bidding war for Kate's garter. WOOT! WOOT! What better way to end the night?
Travis and Kate, congrats on your new life together!

Kate Whittington:
Tim!! AMAZING!!! One problem, there are tooooo many good ones!! We want them all!!! You are amazing at what you do...We absolutly love them all!! Thank you for being...well....AWESOME!!

I drive through Brainerd multiple times a week and I've seen all of these locations hundreds of times. In fact, if you have ever been to Brainerd you too will have seen most if not all of these locations.
I met up with Justin and Nikki the evening after their wedding to make some images. Nikki and Justin are from Brainerd so I really wanted to enter into Brainerd and see it from my perspective.
Nikki and Justin... thank you for the creative freedom to create these images.
