Samantha and Corey planned an amazing wedding weekend at the Outing Lodge in Stillwater, MN. Though Corey's family only lives 5 minutes from this old-fashioned country lodge, this affair had all the makings of a true destination wedding! They infused it with their personal style, while staying true to the outdoor theme. In addition, this was the first time we have shot a "fire ceremony"! So unique and really intriguing to witness. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.
The Outing Lodge site, complete with its grounds, was a great place for the ceremony and yard games that were available for the guests during the reception. Adults were able to enjoy a cocktail while the kids could run freely. After dinner, the crowd was led downstairs to the lodge's cellar for a night of dancing! Their outdoor wedding was blessed with beautiful weather and a sun that shone brightly on this wonderful couple.
Lastly, this was our first attempt at doing video along with still photography during a wedding. Be sure to check out some of the photo highlights from the day as well as our fusion video below. We would love to hear your thoughts! If you have any problems streaming, you may want to let it fully download and then try playing it again.

Don't even recall how I ended up on your blog, but had to watch the whole video. REally classically chic, fun & technically tight engagement session. The fusion makes their whole story come to life. Canon 5d mark2 or Nikon d3s? I'm upgrading to include video soon.

PJ, thanks for the comment! We used the 5D Mark II for the video portion of this video. If you are looking at Canon you should also consider the 7D and 1D Mark IV. I hope that helps.
