Brian + Nichole - The Wedding (Friday)

What a funny day with weather. Cloudy and 70' on the drive to Rochester, pouring rain before the ceremony, 85+' and humid after the ceremony, all within a matter of a few hours.

Anyways it was Brian and Nichole's perfect day for a Friday night wedding in Rochester. I had known Brian for at least 5 years, pretty much all through high school we'd bump into eachother in the halls and at different sporting events, "Brian Smith Buddy.....Jared Anderson Buddy!"

Fun group of ladies, full of laughs as they were getting ready, even I got a few belly laughs out of them.
I don't know what she was looking for..... Maybe a treasure? While the girls were getting ready, I photographed a few details. Nichole's aunt flew in from Oregon to do her flowers which were amazing and fun to photograph. Even got a few with the rings with a few of the flower decors.
Short and sweet ceremony to walk outside to crazy hot and humid sunshine for wedding party pictures at the Amazing Plummer House in Rochester Minnesota.
After some posed shots in the church, we took off for the Plummer House. What an amazing place to take pictures, so many different places to shoot.
After we left the Plummer House to head straight to the reception at the Blue Moon Ballroom. I photographed a few details there, grabbed a quick bite to eat and got ready for the speeches and dance.
After they cut the cake, Brian pulled me aside and told me him and one of the groomsmen had a fun dance/lip sync for the gaarder toss and to be ready for it right after the first dances. It was Michael Jackson's "You knock me off my feet." Super fun and unique routine for Brian to get the gaarder.

The Blue Moon Ballroom gives free dance lessons if you book your reception hall, and is actually the only place in Rochester with a real dance floor. Brian and Nichole did a swing dance routine for their first dance.
After the first dance I got ready for his plan to get to the gaarder. It was a lot of fun to watch, and everyone enjoyed it.

YOU KNOCK ME OFF MY FEET!!!
A big congrats to Brian and Nichole on your wedding day in beautiful Rochester Minnesota!
We'll see you sometime in September for "Trash the Dress!"
