Luxurious Varsity theater & Loring Pasta Bar wedding {Amy & Jeff} Minneapolis wedding

Minneapolis Wedding Photographer | Becca Dilley — Fri, 03 Sep 2010 10:00:34 +0000

Amy told me they wanted to find someplace a little different for their wedding, and they settled on the lavish Loring Pasta Bar. I think some of the friends and family might have thought it odd that the ceremony was going to be in a restaurant when they got the invitation: but by the time the day arrived, no one could deny it was a totally classic wedding (with a little pop of style!). Wow, Amy and Jeff were so happy on their wedding day- I think it really comes through in the photos, since Amy couldn’t stop smiling the whole day, and Jeff just had a spring in his step. We took photo all over before going to the wedding ceremony and then the Varsity theater for their reception. I am just so happy for these two – congrats!

Ceremony: Loring Pasta Bar

Portrait of Wisconsin Artisan Cheesemaker Calendar preview

Minneapolis Wedding Photographer | Becca Dilley — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 08:00:50 +0000

Earlier this summer, I had the honor of driving around Wisconsin with Jeanne Carpenter (cheese blogger at CheeseUnderground.com) as she interviewed artisan cheesemakers and I took photos for a calendar she orchestrated for Wisconsin Cheese Originals. The Calendar is now on sale ( $19.95 at www.WisconsinCheeseOriginals.com) and the calendar will also be for sale at the Second Annual Wisconsin Original Cheese Festival, November 5 – 7, at the Monona Terrace in Madison (a must go to for anyone who loves Wisconsin cheese). I am so proud of the photos I took of truly world-class artisans for this calendar, as well as the fact that I milked a goat along the way.

Among the cheesemakers was Wisconsin cheesemaker Andy Hatch (featured on the cover), holding the amazing Pleasant Ridge Reserve, which just won Best of Show at the American Cheese Society annual competition in Seattle. Go buy this cheese. And then buy a calendar – it would make a great gift set

This photo illustrates the difficulties of taking photos at a goat farm – you will see Jeanne holding my light, a goat about to bite my camera, another goat investigating my camera bag which I hid in their feed bin, and me laughing hysterically.

Hanna & Wes’s civil ceremony in the judge’s house {intimate twin cities wedding}

Minneapolis Wedding Photographer | Becca Dilley — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 10:00:35 +0000

Hanna & Wes chose to have an intimate civil wedding ceremony in the twin cities a few days before their large celebration in Wisconsin. The location was gorgeous – the lovely living room of a judge and family friend in historic St Paul. Hanna and Wes celebrated with their immediate families, and followed the elegant ceremony with a champagne toast.

Custom USB Drives – how I deliver your wedding images

Minneapolis Wedding Photographer | Becca Dilley — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 10:00:01 +0000

I love my custom USB drives for wedding clients! Wedding photos are uniquely singular, so it makes sense to trust them to USB drives instead of DVDs or CDs: they are less likely to break or scratch, the media on them is more stable long term, and they look amazing! Also, they are reusable, so if you wanted to make a few backups of your wedding photos (which you should do anyway!) you could always re-purpose your USB drive for general use.

On Location Portrait Studio {Amy & Jeff} photography photobooth

Minneapolis Wedding Photographer | Becca Dilley — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 10:00:41 +0000

As a photographer, it is such a pleasure to take photos in a place like the Varsity theater – it is gorgeous, every wall is a backdrop, and it makes the whole vibe of the wedding elegant and casual. So when Amy & Jeff also asked for a portable portrait studio (a photobooth of sorts), I was happy to oblige! Here are some of the fun shots.

This is why you have a destination wedding in Madison {Heather & Mike} preview

Minneapolis Wedding Photographer | Becca Dilley — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 08:00:07 +0000

Even though Heather & Mike met in Philadelphia, where they still live, they decided to have their wedding in Madison, where Heather had gone to college. The Monona Terrace was a great place for their reception, especially since it offered this amazing view of the capitol at dusk!
