This wedding was SO special to me and there were sooooo many photos I had to break it up into two posts. : )  My big sister, one of my biggest role-models, the one who loaned me money to buy my very first camera, and walked for hours with me under the sun in Israel taking street photos….was getting married!!!!! We all knew Courtney and Keith’s wedding was going to be something out of the ordinary. They’re true adventurers and with Keith as a pilot – true vagabonds as well. They are in LOVE with the outdoors, so it wasn’t a huge surprise when they said they were getting married atop a mountain in Colorado. We soon found out that we had to ski or snowshoe 3 miles up to get to the top of Vail Pass – Shrine Mountain – Elevation 11,209 to reach our destination ! Yes, it was difficult to breathe, especially coming from sea level but we did it!!!  We even brought cans of oxygen!  Courtney and Keith’s immediate family with a few of their closest friends spent 2 nights up in the Shrine Mountain huts…and it rocked.  Stay tuned for – the wedding day!

I’ve been working on a few styled shoots over here in Norway.  Just like Minnesota, the Norwegians are itching to get rid of the snow and soak up some spring time sun! I was SOOO HAPPY to have this styled shoot PUBLISHED on the Norwegian Wedding Blog.  How cooool!?  Just had to share a few of my personal favorite here too of course! Thanks to all the fabulous vendors who worked on this!

I had the absolute pleasure and honor of photographing Siw and Jan Frode on their wedding day.  The two were married last month on TV as part of a Norwegian television series!  We got a chance to head to the sea and and downtown of Haugesund, Norway juuuust before there was no light left in the day.  Siw wore 2 incredible Leila Hafzi dresses. Simply stunning!

Check out this video of Siw picking out her wedding dress with Leila!

In case you didn’t get a chance to head out and visit us at one of the bridal fairs last Saturday, here is a little peek into our European Booth!  The Rivets crew had a booth at Den store Bryllupsfesten (The big wedding party) and MN Bride’s, Look of Love.  I had such an AWESOME time meeting all the bride-to-be’s, grooms, designers, and stylists.  I was also lucky enough to be right next to Chelsea’s Cool Cakes…which kept an incredible aroma of sweet chocolate cake surrounding me all day.  Yes, yes I ate lots of samples…..Oh dear.
