    Viveria is a compilation, a sense, a feeling, of the words vivé and aria. Viveria is our vision; a vision of celebrated life; the good, the wonderful, the beautiful, the mundane, the extraordinary, the divine. Everyone’s life has a rhythm, a rhyme, a melody; whether your personality is a calculated waltz, a free-form jazz, a simply country melody or even a spicy salsa, your life is worth celebrating, enjoying, and living to the fullest! We want this name, who we are, and our business to join in the celebration of lives lived. Welcome, enjoy the images you see live life to the fullest!

Brent and Hillary – married!

Meet Brent and Hillary…they were married Saturday May 5, 2012. It has been a wonderful start to our wedding season and Brent and Hillary were a big part of that! They are a wonderful, laid back couple who are passionate about each other, their friends and family. Their wedding was a smaller wedding where they were surrounded by those who are closest to them. Brent and Hillary’s wedding was simple yet elegant with a strong focus on the celebration of their love and embarking on a new stage of life together. Hillary is a food scientist/chemist and Brent does lighting design. They are nerdy in their own ways, and absolutely perfect for each other! Alan and I with our science and arty backgrounds felt perfectly at home with these two! Here are a few pictures from their day: enjoy!

Hillary’s matron of honor was her sister and Brent’s best man was his brother. They kept their wedding party simple and just had these two stand up for them.

Since it was raining in the afternoon when we were doing most of the pictures we didn’t get to do many outside. But later in the evening things began to dry up and we did make it out side for a few city lights pictures.

Dan and Catherine – married!

Catherine and Dan…:) What a terrific couple! We were excited for their wedding for several reasons…first, because they are awesome! And secondly, because we got to hang out with a group of people we have photographed with before at Emily and David’s wedding. Catherine and Dan were married on April 21, 2012. We began the morning at Catherine’s mom’s house for hair and makeup with the bridesmaids. The house had a quiet bussle about it as everyone was getting ready.

Then it was off to Nativity of our Lord Catholic Church in St. Paul for the ceremony. It was a little rainy outside, but dare I say, nothing could dampen the sprits of these two!
