Anitra+Justin Wedding, part 1 – Minneapolis, MN Wedding Photography
Oh, do I have a LOT of good stuff to show from Anitra + Justin’s wedding! So much so that this is going to become two blog posts. Kelli and I had so much fun among new friends and the extra kind people of Minneapolis, Minnesota, that we were sad to leave! I mean come on, they went to a roller derby on their wedding day. What could be better than a wedding that ends with a roller derby?
But I should begin at the beginning: They both started their day at 5:30am …



One of my favorites with Anitra and her dad:

At Justin’s family’s home, Kelli caught their very curious dog, Junebug …





These high-school sweethearts got hitched bright and early in the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory at the Como Zoo in St. Paul, before it opened to the public for the day. They wanted to see each other before the ceremony, so they had a private moment in the central Palm Dome:




What a beautiful location! They had a decidedly small ceremony, with about 20 guests and hundreds of eye-popping flowers in attendance.





Justin and the guys had a Reservoir Dogs moment outside the grounds …


Afterward, they had a cozy lunch reception at the Palomino restaurant in downtown Minneapolis (food = mmm, dessert = wow).




But I’m saving the best for last. See Part 2 … tomorrow!
