Nick and Laura! What a wedding. I don’t think we could have had a more beautiful day. The reception at Willow Creek in Rochester was a blast from the guys outside playing Bean Bags, to Nick taking the stage with the band (more on that to come). Wedding tip for everyone else… Hire a Band (Nick and Laura feel free to leave the name of the band in the comments they were great)! They are awesome, and the guests love watching them. Great way to keep your guests at your event. Well that and the Photobooth. For more on Nick and Laura’s wedding head over to my facebook page.

Wedding Photography at Plummer house and La Quinta Inn Rochester Minnesota

Ok so I am wayyyy behind on posting my recent weddings! Rebecca & Anthony’s wedding was a lot of fun and oh we got to go to my favorite Plummer House to take some fun wedding photos. Have I mentioned I LOVE the Plummer House? After that we headed over to their reception at La Quinta Inn in Rochester Minnesota. I think my favorite part was the dramatic lit entrance to the tune of Star Wars (My favorite movie… I know I’m a nerd). Oh Rebecca, we are even on the Steak now ;)

Destination Photographer Brad O'Connor Wedding in the Wisconsin Dells

Wedding in the Wisconsin Dells

This last weekend two of my good friends got married in the Wisconsin Dells at Christmas Mountain Resort. My wife and I made a mini vacation out of it since going to India with my six month pregnant wife was probably out of the question. What kind of photographer friend would I be if I didn’t bring my camera? So, I talked Dan and Kristi into running off for a mini photo shoot and we ended up with some beautiful photos. It’s misty out there trust me…. thats why we needed the umbrella. Well, that and I have always wanted to do a shoot with an umbrella. Not sure why I like them so much, but anyways. We had such a great weekend and had a total blast. And ok, I totally stink at mini golf. Congrats guys, lets grill out soon! Looking for a Photographer? Contact me or look at more weddings.

Wedding Photography at Woodbury Central Park
Melissa and Steve know how to put on one heck of a good party! I had a total blast with these guys. Lucky for us the Woodbury Central Park is an indoor park. Only in Minnesota does one have to plan for snow on a wedding day in May! Snow and sleet didn’t stop these guys from having a beautiful wedding. Check out the photobooth page for some of the crazy shots from the evening. Best wishes guys!

Eric and Haley got married in Mexico this spring (did I mention I travel?) and came back home to Hastings for a beautiful wedding reception at another of my favorite places Little Log House Pioneer Village. I love this place. Tons of great places to take photos with vintage cars, old buildings, bridges, cobblestone pathways etc. I had a great time with this easy going fun couple. I wish both of you all the good stuff people wish recently married couples. Looking for a Photographer? Contact me or look at my samples.

David and Dyana have a love story right out of the movies. David was on a flight for work and little did he know that flight would change his life forever. Sitting next to him just happened to be his future wife. What make it even more amazing is the fact Dyana was from Ecuador! What are the odds of these guys meeting? David and Dyana got married in Rochester at my favorite Plummer House. I wish you guys a happy and joyful marriage.
