CarbonSilver Photography

I’ve known Katie for several years, so I was of course excited when she asked me to photograph her wedding reception.  And I was even more ecstatic when she told me the reception would be held at the Twin’s new stadium, Target Field.  We started the day with photos of Katie, Gabe and family.  The little boy you see on the bike stole the show, he just naturally started posing with arms out and legs crossed on his toy bike.  Pretty creative for boy who isn’t quite 3!   (I think his parent’s were happy we captured a few picks without him sticking out his tongue).  We got some shots around the home, watched a little of the US play Ghana in the World Cup (ugh), and headed over to Target Field for some bridal portraits before the guests arrived.  The reception was held in the Metropolitan Club, which is the gorgeous glass enclosed room at the end of the first baseline.  The Twins had an away game Saturday night and we had all of Target Field to ourselves.  The guests got a chance to get private tours of the stadium, including the visitor’s club room and press box, which was a lot of fun.  Our timing worked out perfectly.  About 10 minutes after I photographed the field, the grounds crew tarped off the infield in preparation for a big storm that passed through Saturday (if you look carefully at the shoot with the warning track in the foreground, you’ll see a sliver of white on top of the grass, that’s actually a huge tarp, but I got on the ground to minimize it in the image), but we all had a great time in the Metropolitan Club!  Guests can view more images at http://prints.carbonsilver.com/katie-gabe (password is the couple’s last name)
