Something Magical happened in 2015

I've seen so many "year in review" blog posts or these amazing "best of" posts and I love to look through them and see everyones year, most of the time I do not follow anyone closely enough to see each wedding they shoot. Even photographer friends of mine I don't follow closely enough, not because I wouldn't love to but more so lack of time and commitment to doing so.  I however am not as create as some of these bloggers,  or I am basking in my off season of sweats and netflix binge-watching and just truthfully loving laziness right now. I know soon in a month or two things will really pick up for me and so I am taking this time off to do just about nothing but cuddle my babies and celebrate holidays with family.  

I am not doing a "best of" because I know I certainly can't choose a favorite.  But you are more than welcome to comment below if you do have a favorite couple or wedding! That being said, I LOVED...LOVED my 2015 wedding season. All 20 couples/ weddings were spectacular. I connected with everyone, I was happy to be at each and every wedding and looking back brings back all that happy and good and warm temps back in my life.  So I quickly ran through my files, I picked a color photo of each couple and I wanted to share them again here with you. I linked their wedding blog so you can relive the wedding in case you missed it or in case you loved it and want to see a preview again ;)  I may do specific categories and share more from each wedding at a later date, we will see how winter goes! Stay with me, Spring and new weddings and engagements will be living up the blog soon. 

 I had 20 weddings, 19 of which are featured here as one was an intimate elopement.  CHEERS to 2015 and what's to come in 2016!!!

Travis and Laura's Dreamy Mt. Lacrosse Wedding // Lacrosse, WI

I have a special place in my heart for these two. Starting with their initial inquiry to me, Travis inquired and we swapped dates and venues, etc.. before he and Laura were even engaged because he knew Laura wanted to work with me one day. That right there is enough to make me burst with happiness. What a wonderful groom! and then comes Laura, this vibrant, positive soul who I completely adore. These two together are dream clients to work with but beyond that, they are absolutely wonderful people who I am honored I was able to meet and work with. I had high hopes for their day and as you can see I was completely blown away. This wedding in the brides fathers words was "reminiscent of a fairytale" and it was. They weather the beautiful, everyone was overjoyed, and the couple was drunk on happiness.  At every turn of this day there was something more to look forward to, something fun, something emotional, another wonderful moment.The outpour of happiness was contagious. I smiled for weeks after I left and as I edited through each photo.  I wanted to share all of that in one blog preview but I don't think that is even possible! But I hope you get the gist. Enjoy! 

Jordan + Destany's Fairytale Farm Wedding // Strum, WI

Boy meets girl. Jordan a farmer, Destany a kindergarten teacher. They fall in love. He talks the school principal and Miss Newman's Kindergarten Class into surprising her with a proposal that later gets broadcasted on the news.  He had the little kindergarteners hold up letters: Will You Marry ME? The rest is history. Destany and Jordan win a big gold star for the greatest smiles. Happy couples are a MUST for me and I was overjoyed to work with these two.  What better place to get married than the family farm, ceremony on a hilltop, reception in the big shed, add in some surprisingly awesome weather and a studebaker and  Viola! We had a fairytale Wedding. Such a fun day with a great group of really happy people! Enjoy the preview!
