My funny, charming and handsome cousin Jeff (I can call my cousin handsome, right?) married the beautiful Desra this fall and I was lucky enough to photograph it. People always say that you shouldn't mix business and family, but I was really honored that my cousin wanted me to be a part of his wedding celebration. This wedding is very close to my heart :)  
 
The couple was married at a church just a couple of blocks from Jeff's home in Prior Lake, Minnesota. The reception was held in Bloomington at the Embassy Suites.  
 
It was a sunny fall day. We spent the afternoon and early evening shooting the wedding, but as soon as dinner started we were done shooting and ready to party! I was so excited to actually attend a wedding (even if it was only half of a wedding), that a bought a new party dress and shoes for the occasion (check them out below!).  
 
Jeff and Desra threw a fabulous party -- even my mom had a great time!  
 
Thank you so much for inviting us to photograph your big day, Jeff and Desra. On to the photos!  
 
Loved Desra's bouquet. The orchids were stunning ::

Hello gorgeous :)

Here are a few of Kory's photos :: 
 
My mom and my cousin Errin

My cousin Andrea and me (I totally look like my mom!)

I vowed to stop taking photos once I put my party dress on. I guess I lied :) Kory caught me in the act ::

Kory told me I wouldn't be able to take photos in these shoes. I proved him wrong. Ha!
