Northern Minnesota Wedding: Leah and Brian

Leah was an amazing bride! She had dreams of meeting her groom on her parents dock over looking Fish Hook lake. Which would have been stunning, but the weather had other plans. Instead of letting the rain ruin her day she switched gears, got ready at the church and met Brian with a gorgeous smile. These high school sweet hearts had a beautiful wedding ceremony at St. Peter's Catholic Church in Park Rapids, MN and wedding reception at the Northern Lights Casino Hotel. On the way to the reception site the sun was shinning so we stopped at Leech Lake and Leah finally got to meet her groom by the lake!

International Eelpout Festival 2010, Walker MN

Started in 1979 as away to lure tourist to Walker Mn in the winter, resident Ken Bresley caught an eelpout while ice fishing with some friends. “It was so ugly, no one wanted to touch them,” he said. This inspired him to create the International Eelpout Festival. Today it has become the Mardi Gras of the northland. Here are few more photos to give you a hint of what we experienced.
