Julia and Greg's Wedding

Greg Maki, the groom of Friday's wedding, is an aerospace engineer, and his new bride Julia Knittel is an anthropologist. We got to know each other at a fun artsy engagement session at Nicolette Island in the spring. They tied the knot at a lovely ceremony Friday at the Calhoun Beach Club in Minneapolis. We photographed the day from start to finish, with mostly a photojournalistic approach, following them through the sweet private meeting before the ceremony to the toss of the bouquet late into the night. Interestingly, her uncle Rocky and aunt Barbara are professional photographers in Baltimore, and it was they who helped her choose us - so we are truly honored! Elegance was the best way to describe this wedding from the beautiful flowers and decore to the food by D'amico and music. We also enjoyed meeting Greg and Julia's parents, Joanne and Mark and Leslee and Steve. Speaking of Calhoun, we also learned the place will be undergoing some major renovations soon. It was a lovely day. Click on any image to open larger. Please leave a comment for Greg, Julia, and us!

Their first meeting on the veranda.

Best man Ryan Hannay and his parents give Greg last minute support.

Julia was as beautiful as a movie star.

The grass was dry and crispy but the light was beautiful in the park across the street.
