Fremont Wedding Photographer | Kristen and Michael’s Fremont wedding by Kurt Nielsen Photography

Kristen and Michael were married on September 24, 2011 at Grace Lutheran Church in Fremont, OH.

My day began by taking photos of the church decorations and the Bride’s dress and accessories.  Then a few photos of the bride and groom getting ready.

After all of the photos were taken at the church, the wedding party hopped on the party bus and headed to their favorite stop, The Depot for some pizza!

The groomsmen’s dates must have been famous models because they didn’t eat a thing and everyone kept watching them and taking pictures.

Kristen and Michael even had an activity table for the kids at the reception.

Instead of doing a long ‘dollar dance’, the bride and groom chose to do a Dash for Cash.  This is where the wedding party runs through the crowd collecting money for the bride and groom in a short amount of time.

I don’t usually post so many candid photos from weddings in my blog, but Kristen and Michael had so many good ideas and funny things going on that I just had to post them.  Of course, there were a few that I couldn’t post also!
