Girlfriends Photo Shoot, Part 1

What do you do when a life-long friend turns 30 just days before she moves to South Korea? You get her all gussied up with her BFFs for a fabulous photo shoot, that's what. We enlisted the help of our photographer friend Mari to capture our craziness at a remote location near downtown St. Paul. We were not in our wedding dresses the entire time - oh ho no - outfit changes happened. You do not want to miss 'Part 2'. It was rainy and muddy, but we had so much fun.

The wedding dresses were a little challenging, but I love how they capture our individual styles. Also, they all FIT! Elaina is in a Grecian, one-shoulder, white dress with a train. She got married at 19 and just celebrated her 12th anniversary. Then me - I wouldn't settle for anything but tea-length. That was 8 years ago. I remember wedding dress shopping with Katie and finding this ruched-lace, column dress - there was no doubt it was the one. She got married 7/7/07 - 7 years ago! Then Keely, our baby. She got married last year in this gorgeous ball gown. I still can't believe it.
