ARRIVING AT TRINITY LUTHERAN CHURCH in Faribault prior to the appointed family photo time at my daughter’s wedding on Sunday, September 22, I managed to sneak in a few photos without intruding. I hope.
Randy and I had come a bit earlier than we were supposed to be there. But I figured the parents could bend the rules ever so slightly as long as I stayed inside the church and did not follow the wedding party outdoors for the professional photo shoot.
Here are a few of my favorite pre-ceremony images, converted to black and white:
My daughter Amber, the bride.
The bride lifts her dress as she walks through the narthex.
Details inside the women’s dressing/prep room.
Miranda, the maid of honor, poses for a snapshot in the women’s dressing room.
Barb, the pianist, practices.
Tim, an usher, waits.
And back in the changing room, the bride uses her smart phone.
On Monday I’ll bring you more images shot before the service, this time in color, including long-awaited (at least I think you’re waiting) photos of the bridal gown.

Oh, I know. The professional photographer, Rochelle Louise Photography, was kind enough to email several photos, three to be revealed on Monday and one after that.
Awwww thanks for the “sneek Peek” in black and white, the Bride and gown look beautiful. Love Miranda dress too. Your daughters are just too precious! Cant wait for Monday 🙂
It will be worth the wait. I promise.
Yes, those two sisters are precious, aren’t they?
You are so sneaky and have me on the edge of my seat – now I want to know the color of the bridesmaid dresses – ha! Love your daughters Wedding dress – elegant, classic, beautiful:) Happy Weekend!
Exactly my intention, to keep you readers returning.
Amber’s wedding dress was perfect for her in every way and exactly as you described it.
So Sneaky Intelligent Audrey – you love a good cliffhanger I see – ha!
Cliffhanger, for certain.
I will admit, the hallmark of a good writer, leave them wanting more.
I will always remember their anniversary as it is ours also, a “few” years on them already though.
