Ron and Alyson - January 12, 2007



The first wedding of 2007! How cool is it to be married with dolphins swimming around in the background?

The crisp January cold snap yielded to the fun and uniqueness of Ron and Alyson's wedding at Mystic Lake Casino and the Minnesota Zoo. We had slot machines, valet parking, dolphins mourning, dolphins jumping, Ron accidently dropping cake down Alyson's dress, "Uncle DJ" keeping Ron on his knees while guests paid to have him remove the garter over and over, and people "petting" stingrays, starfish and little tiger sharks.

Perhaps the biggest surprise of all was the dolphin telling the DJ to turn the dance music down through "his translator" - apparantly, dolphins start swimming around franticaly when they are mad and the music was the reason - smart animals!

It all added up to be a very fun evening loaded with some some very interesting and challenging photography, including about 150 pictures of the ringbearer, Jackson. -Judd & Amanda
