Tom & Annie's Wine Country Wedding Day in Glen Ellen California as seen by photographers Mark & Stacy Milburn

On May 29th Mark and I boarded a Sun Country Flight to San Francisco.  We were on our way to photograph Annie & Tom's wedding in Glen Ellen California.  We know Tom (a photographer himself) and Annie are super excited to see their wedding photos so below are some of our favorite moments from the day.  

Surrounded by her bridesmaids Annie got ready at the Jack London Lodge Warm Springs Cottage.

While I was busy photographing Annie and the bridesmaids Mark spent time with Tom and his groomsmen at the Hill House in Glen Ellen where he captured the details for the groom.

For their reveal Annie and Tom choose the Benziger Winery.  The winery showcased large vines and beautiful rolling hillsides and it was only a brief climb for Annie.

Annie and Tom choose She & He Flower Company for their flowers.  I loved the soft peach and yellow tones against the bright colorful California backdrop.  The colors also complimented the grey tones in the groomsmen's suits. 

Annie and Tom choose a good friend to perform their wedding ceremony at Jack London State Park.  Wine Country Party & Events provided the chairs and set the scene for the wedding ceremony.  Annie and Tom choose to incorporate a wine blending ceremony to demonstrate their new union and the blending of their lives together. 

Jack London State Park was full of huge trees that provided amble shade for wedding guests and the wedding party.  The park also has fantastic old farm buildings full of texture which makes the park a hot spot for photography and weddings.

The red door at Jack London State Park was a got to have it wedding photo location for Tom & Annie.

Following the ceremony it was a short drive to the Jack London Lodge in downtown Glen Ellen for the wedding reception.  The weather was beautiful and the patio was a perfect place for an out-door California wedding reception.  Friends and family circled the couple as they entered their party.

Annie & Tom choose to tempt the taste buds of their guests with several favors of cupcakes from Cupcake Wars award winning Sift Dessert Bar.  I don't often partake of the dessert but the cheesecake cupcake was calling my name. 

Annie, Tom and their guests partied the night away.  High Hand Productions Peter Wallace kept the crowd and the bride and groom dancing all night.

Krystal and Tony's Wedding at St. Anthony Catholic Church Photographed by Phodot Photography in Watkins Minnesota.

May 24th, 2014 was a beautiful Minnesota day and we had the pleasure of photographing Krystal and Tony's wedding in Watkins.  Krystal and Tony choose Meeker County Park for their semi-private reveal.  To compliment the day and summer like weather Krystal choose bright purples and oranges as her accent colors.  We love the way the color pops in photos.

 

  From the park we traveled to St. Anthony's Catholic Church in Watkins for wedding party and family photography formals as well as the ceremony.  

 Father Tony, a family friend, blessed Krystal and Tony's marriage.

 In need of refreshment after the ceremony while en-route to the reception the wedding party bus stopped at the Third Street Brew House in Cold Springs for a cold one.  We made use of the giant windows and staircase for some fun wedding party photos. 

From the Brew House we headed straight to the Holiday Inn in St. Cloud for the wedding reception.  Krystal and Tony (not cake fans) choose to reward their wedding guests with their choice of ice cream treat for desert following the meal.

Games can be a great way to get all eyes on you for your first dance photos.  Krystal and Tony choose to entertain their guests with the Shoe Game. Looks like everyone is a winner at the Shoe Game.

When we get the chance, we love to photograph an end of the wedding day photo with just the bride and groom.  If interested in more information about professional wedding photographers Mark & Stacy Milburn please visit http://www.phodot.com/   

Greenfield Minnesota Wedding Photography at Salem Lutheran Church by Phodot

On May 17th, 2014 we had the pleasure of providing the wedding photography coverage for Tiffanee & Joshua at Salem Lutheran Church in Greenfield Minnesota.  The wedding day photos below reveal how Tiffanee and Josh choose to incorporate their love for hunting, fishing, and country within the details of their wedding. Groomsmen wore flannel shirts and blue jeans and bridesmaids wore knee length dresses that revealed their cowboy boots.  Tiffanee's dress even had a camouflage sash.  Playing up their love for nature and the great outdoors Tiffanee and Josh choose to have the majority of their wedding party photos outside.  We love the tractor and a hay wagon they had bought in for photos outside of the church.  To celebrate their marriage Josh & Tiffanee choose to host their reception at the Rockford Township Hall.  If you love the wedding photography below please visit phodot.com for more wedding photography information.
