Guthrie Theater Wedding {Liz + Dan}

Sometimes, you just know a day is going to go well. And sometimes, you know that a day is going to be a lot of work. I knew right away that Liz and Dan’s wedding day would be both. Their friends and wedding party were fun from the beginning, and the Guthrie is a joy to shoot at. But I knew it would be a lot of work because I had decided weeks before that I needed to do whatever it took to get a photo of them in the Guthrie theater windows at night.

“Whatever it took” turned out to include about 40 minutes of running with a camera and a tripod to the bridge, then coordinating with my second shooter via phone to get the exposure and posing right.

And I would have been happy to have done more for Liz + Dan, who had high expectations for their wedding day, and for their wedding photography. And who really know how to party!

Ceremony + Reception: Guthrie Theater

Guthrie theater minneapolis mn
This is the Guthrie theater at night, where Liz and Dan had just been married hours before.
This photo required 40 minutes, a mile run with a tripod, a cell phone, a very long exposure, a beautiful night, and an accommodating bride and groom (and a very helpful second shooter – thanks, Jay!)
See the silhouettes in the amber windows? That is really them. Totally worth it.
