Katie and Matt

Katie Carlin and Matt Scherer are to be married December 29. We met them for an engagement session on Nicolette Island yesterday - as gray a November day as Minnesota makes. But even though the weather was lousy, this is one fun couple and their laughter was contagious. As we were on the Stone Arch Bridge, students were migrating over to the football game and a few stopped to help us cheer on Katie's team, the Badgers. Matt and Katie had their first date at Nye's - a classic kitchy bar nearby - and as the story goes, didn't think too much of each other at first - yet over the course of two years when Katie went to Istanbul, they continued to correspond and "date from afar." Nye's now has a special place in their heart so we went there for a few portraits. Their wedding will be spectacular - ceremony at Our Lady of Lourdes on the island and reception at the amazing Loring Pasta Bar. Nick took me there for my birthday Friday, and I saw it for the first time. I have a new favorite restaurant. We can't wait to photograph their wedding. Click on any image to open larger.

Wow...they look great! Love Black and White. I love photographers with a grat eye and the ability to capture "natural".

Thanks, Wendy, so much for a fun (and cold) morning. You and Nick are total troopers. The pictures look great. Truly. We can't wait to see what comes of our actual wedding day...if they're anywhere near as great as these, we're plastering our walls with pictures of ourselves. Well, we might not go that far, but we know we're going to have some great visual memories and "art pieces" from the day. See you in a few weeks. Katie
