What a day! Studio J employees were up and at 'em around 7am to prepare for the 3 hour trek to beautifully rural Mosinee, WI. During a brief detour (code for "wrong turn"), we encountered a 12' tall beaver mascot of a local high school and got pre-made, xeroxed directions back to HWY 29 from the Marathon gas station - "people miss that turn all the time," the girl said. Apparantly so.

So, we packed up our $28.79 in junk food and EZ fold Wisconsin map, blasted "Holiday Roads" from National Lampoon's Vacation and were on our way. (Picture Chevy Chase driving the circa 1970's station wagon with the car-top carrier and grandma in the back.)

After the men shook off lousy football performances by the Gophers and Badgers on the gridiron, a beautiful day unfolded to celebrate Joel and Mary's big day. Rare trivia: there were three John's and three Katie's in the wedding party/attendant group.

From the centerpieces matching the aisle runners, to the beautiful service, to the carmelized pecans on the salad, to the chocolate fountain, to the first dances, everything was first class. Much thanks to the Fryes and Knoedlers for such great hospitality!

And, we only saw one deer on the way back home.

Enjoy the pictures! - Judd, Amanda, Joe, and Josh

Ah... fall weddings! September came with a beautifully overcast day (with really cool clouds), and it was a welcome break from the heat of summer. What a great day and evening at Oak Glen for Eric and Becky's wedding. Yes, Denny's speech was a bit long and Linda's flip flops were way too pink but that's why everyone loves them! (The speeches and flips flops that is) :)

Eric and Becky, it was great to see you guys so happy and the Rooster Baseball boys again. Too bad there wasn't a rookie at the wedding to carry the bats for the veteran "bat tunnel."

Well, it's 2am and I've made i through 1300 of the 1589 pictures and I'm calling it quits for the night - I have a date with my boys and their treehouse contruction in the morning. Studio J set a record for kiss (11) and butterfly release (13) pictures at the end of the ceremony - that's what happens when there are 3 photographers shooting (plus 2 video cameras makes 5!)
