Katie and Scott

View their slideshow here.

Sunday morning I had the pleasure of working with Katie Monson and Scott Knoblach, engaged to be married in July in Edinburg, North Dakota, population 250 (on a good census, she says), Katie's childhood home.

They are both great fun people, and we played in the Cowles Conservatory across from the Walker Art Museum, Minneapolis, to capture these and many more images.

Katie tells me they met through a co-worker, Troy, who is also Scott's best friend. Their romance began shortly after Troy stopped by her cubicle at Comcast in downtown St. Paul and announced that she should meet his friend Scott.

"I was a little taken back, but being in an adventurous spirit that morning, I said 'why not'. A couple hours later, Scott emailed me and asked me if I wanted to meet downtown for sushi at Nami. It was a fabulous first date. I could tell immediately that Scott was an incredible person both inside & out. What was supposed to be an hour date lasted into the night. He walked me to my car, asked to see me again and VOILA, 8 months later he asked for my hand in marriage."

"Scott is absolutely the most amazing man I've ever met. I'm incredibly lucky to be able to share the rest of my life with him."

The wedding theme will be "Country Garden." Bright pink, purple, pear green, white, and yellow are the colors. The bridesmaids will be dressed in bright pink tea length dresses, while the men will be in classic black tuxedos. They expect a crowd of about 200 people - almost the entire population of the town!
