Amanda & James & Rebecca & Bryan

We haven’t posted any engagement photos in a couple of months and we need to catch up! I’ll start off the catchin’ up with our two most recent sessions. Amanda and James started their session at the Plains Art Museum before we headed out into the what-seemed-warm-at-the-time 20 degree weather for a few photos around downtown.

Rebecca and Bryan were at the studio and of course brought their first child.

FeBROary

Dave and I had a blast photographing the second ever Bros on Broadway FeBROary event, hosted by the Hotel Donaldson in Fargo. Last we heard, the event raised over $20,000 for the American Cancer Society and for men in our region fighting prostate cancer.

In addition to a whole lot of facial hair (beards, mustaches, chops), there were also fun carnival games, dude food (absolutely nothing green), music, beer and awards.

For those of you who attended the event (or, wish you had), photographs of the event can be purchased right here (or, by going to http://clients.photomilestones.com and selecting the FeBROary event). We are happy to note that part of the proceeds will be going directly to the American Cancer Society.

Heidi & Drew

Gorgeous is the main word that comes in mind when I think of Heidi & Drew’s winter wedding. Gorgeous couple, gorgeous wedding party, flowers, ceremony, gorgeous reception…. gorgeous all around! And even though it was really, really, cold outside, Heidi and Drew braved the North Dakota climate is sneak outside for one or two portraits. They are both gorgeous and hardy.

Penny and I had a great time documenting their wedding at First Lutheran Church in downtown Fargo. The reception was held at the (gorgeous) Fargo Country Club.

Drew (and his family) own Corwin Automotive Group in Fargo… so, of course, autos were represented.

Katherine & Mark

First wedding of 2010 for Dave and Mo!

Great locations all around for Katherine and Mark’s wedding day – Hotel Donaldson, St. Joe’s and the Plains Art Museum. Just a great winter wedding.

Thanks, Katherine and Mark!

The Photography of Wayne Gudmundson

MSUM photo professor Wayne Gudmundson has photographed the beauty of North Dakota for years and taught students about the art of photography even longer. In the photo above he is surrounded by just a few of the many students he’s sent off into the world.

Tonight (Tuesday, February 16) at 7:00pm Central Prairie Public Television is airing a biography about Wayne and his work – A Considered View: The Photography of Wayne Gudmundson. Be sure to tune in and learn about what he photographs and why he does it. (Dave was lucky enough to be interviewed for the documentary!)

It’s beautifully shot in HD and well worth 30 minutes of your time. Be sure to keep watching and see a re-airing of A Photographer’s View of Iceland which follows Wayne as he photographs his ancestral homeland.

Lynn & Briar

Saturday isn’t the only day for weddings anymore. With competition for ceremony and reception venues we see more Friday and sometimes Sunday weddings. Lynn and Briar were our first ever Monday wedding right after Christmas.

Lynn was gorgeous in her simple dress and Briar added a lot of personality to the standard tux. Warm light flooded Trinity Lutheran during the ceremony which was a real bonus for a winter wedding. The reception at the NDSU Alumni Center was very intimate – it felt more like a fun family dinner than 200 person party.

It was a great day – thanks for letting us be a part of it, Lynn and Briar.

Just a Little Renovation

britta — Sun, 07 Feb 2010 14:00:57 +0000

We have been little busy bees over here in West Fargo the last couple weeks. After three years of yellow walls, we decided the studio needed a change. Our intention was to make our space more modern, calming and fresh. So, we put a little paint on the walls, changed some photos around and did a few other changes here and there. The result was something quite different than we had before, and we love it!

I didn’t think of taking pictures of the space until after we had moved our furniture (and, oddly, can’t find any we’ve taken in the past either). So, those of you who have seen our space in the past, even the ‘before’ pictures might look different from the space you remember.

Brooklyn

Oh my goodness, adorable Brooklyn is already one year old. She is the daughter of my cousin Shawn (and his lovely girl friend Britt) and I was so happy they wanted Milestones to photograph her one-year pictures. Love her!
