Betsy Wall Photography

I was so excited for Jeff and Kristen’s wedding!  It was the highest form of compliment to be invited to photograph this one, as Jeff is Jackie Boldt’s brother.  Jackie hired me as an associate a couple of years ago, and without her encouragement and teaching, I wouldn’t be here!  Anyway - to have her and her family’s trust and support to be a part of this day was incredibly humbling and such a compliment.  PS - check out some of Jackie’s pics from this wedding.

Jeff and Kristen were married at St. Mary’s Greek Orthodox Church in Minneapolis.

Jackie’s son, Nicholas, was the ring bearer, and I believe is one of the cutest kids ever.  I was so looking forward to seeing Nick in a little tux!!

How does it feel to be on the other side of the lens, Jackie? ;)

… a sweet moment between Jeff and his mother.

Some portraits of the very lovely Kristen.  :)

Jeff had, hands down, the greatest reaction I’ve ever seen of a groom when seeing his bride walk down the aisle.  He lost it - and I had to try real hard to keep it together myself.  Even when editing these pictures for the first time admittedly I got choked up again.  I’m glad I caught these - so Kristen has a chance to see this reaction from as close up as I did.

This church is absolutely gorgeous.

This is my 2nd Greek Orthodox wedding, and I love them.  They are quite beautiful - filled with rich tradition, which gives me plenty to photograph. :)

I love this shot. :)

A few quick portraits after the ceremony…

Bustling the dress!

I call this shot, “Jeff’s red carpet shot.”

These two are so very much in love- and anyone who spends just a little time with them can see it.

The slideshow had some hilarious video clips of Jeff as a kid!

This was brilliant.  Jackie had some saved iChat conversations she had with Jeff when Jeff first started dating Kristin.  Her and Mike (her husband) read each part (Mike’s wig = Jeff’s red hair).

This crew really knew how to party (I’ve never seen so many people on the dance floor for such a long time.  It was great!)

I love Michael Jackson’s music, and was pretty excited to get this Thriller shot. :)

Thank you so much Jeff and Kristin - I had a blast!!!
