My name is Emily.

I love people in love.

I cry at every wedding.

I own a striped umbrella. Everyone should.

I love my pug. His name is Edward.

I dream of having a house with enough closet hooks for my scarves and hats.

Laughing is great.

I believe there is nothing better than a day with the people you love.

And I absolutely love to take photos.


And this is my blog. Expect to see people in love, expect to laugh and read, and expect to see what I love and why I love it! Welcome to my blog. I am glad you are here.

When a bicycle shop owner ties the knot with an artistic, spunky girl the wedding is bound to be spontaneous, colorful and fantastic! Job and Tira chose the beautiful setting of the Round Barn Farm Bed and Breakfast in Red Wing as a perfect backdrop for their outdoor wedding. With their friends and family close by to share in the job and laughter, the day was perfect and of course, full of bicycles!!!

We caught up with the girls getting beautiful at the salon downtown...

The 2 love birds spent the next few hours mingling with family and friends as they laughed and shared some drinks....the party was hoppin' and the place was filled with love for these 2! We did manage to sneak them outside for a fun shot before the night was over...

I absolutely love the rainbow-theme concept. The effect really worked well with the bridal party standing next to them at the ceremony.

Looks like a fun, fun group of people!

Great shots, as always, Emily.
