Josh and Kristin met at my alma mater, St. Olaf College. Both members of the St. Olaf Band, Kristin played percussion and Josh played the trumpet, they noticed each other from the “first note.” Kristin asked some fellow band mates about Josh and was warned about his bad-boy brass-ness. Josh says, “I don’t know what it is about brass players, but we have a bad reputation.”
Meanwhile, told to “find someone else,” Kristin did. Later, Josh and Kristin met up in an introduction to Psych class where Josh mustered up the courage to ask Kristin to lunch after class in the cafeteria. She told him she’d call him.
Kristin did call him, but let him know right away that she was dating someone, than again, it was just lunch…
And so, these two began a lasting and complicated friendship that would bloom into a wonderfully beautiful love.
From the moment I met Kristin and Josh, I could tell how comfortable and in love they are with one another. They smile and laugh a lot around each other. They tease and flirt and I can see in Josh’s eyes that he believes Kristin is the most beautiful woman in the world. They are an inspiring couple.
My two favorite colors are blue and green, I think has something to do about my Irish heritage, the colors of me Emerald isle. Favorites of Kristin, these hues were incorporated throughout their wedding day.
Amazing flowers were arranged by the talented Jennifer Dick Guion from Luna Vinca. I love this creative mecca located near Uptown on Hennepin Avenue and have purchased many a Christmas gift there.
The couple walked down the aisle to the most amazing music, arranged by Josh, and performed by an amazing orchestra. The couple each chose and read a poem to each other. It was a magical moment, and I couldn’t help crying. I’m really good at being emotional (p.s. so is Rachel! Adam gives us grief for crying behind our LCD screens during services).
After the lovely ceremony we stopped at a couple locations to take some quick shots of the bridal party, one of these being Purgatory Creek Park-what a name!
The reception was held at the Stonebrooke Country Club in Shakopee, and upon our arrival we were treated to a surprise serenade from the groom to the bride.
It was a wonderful event and we’re so happy we were invited to share it with these two special Oles.
We come from St. Olaf, we sure are the real stuff.
Our team is the cream of the colleges great.
We fight fast and furious, our team is injurious.
