New York Mills Wedding | Studio A Photo

James and Tina were married this past Saturday in New York Mills, MN!
A morning of rain lifted for a few hours mid-afternoon, making way for outdoor portraits.
The day started at Paul Miller Park in Perham, MN where we photographed among falling leaves, split rail fences and warm light!

James is a police officer in New York Mills, so he brought a squad car for a few photos!

Tina’s son, Logan, had the fantastic idea to wear a top hat and use a cane for the day.
Pretty fab.

GORGEOUS! As soon as I saw this shady, wooded area, I knew I must make this portrait:

And then we headed back to the church in New York Mills for a few formal photos before the ceremony!

Playing off of the police officer “theme”, James and Tina hung a Mug Shot background for their guests to use as a photobooth.
This was WAY fun!

This little sweetie was tearing up the dance floor all by herself…

Before I left for the evening, we ventured out into the pouring rain for a few sparkler shots.
The rain soaked my lighter after only two photos, but considering all the factors…..I loved how this one turned out! 🙂
