Adam + Aimee's Joyful Wedding // The Lageret // Stoughton

So I love a beautiful wedding and I love details and decor, its so fun to photograph, I feel like I walk into a well designed wedding and I feel a burst of inspiration like crazy, and it’s an amazing feeling. But even that cannot top a wildly happy couple. Photographing a couple who is present and so freakin’ happy and in love and when nothing in the world could have dimmed the smile on their faces. There is NO better photography high. I got caught up with them in this day. Aimee twirled her way through the day, with an ear to ear smile. Adam was in awe of her every movement. I felt like the world didn’t exist outside the The Lageret on this day. How many days do we get like that? Looking back on this day I just feel this positive vibe all over again, I love my couples! and they breathe a higher level of hope and happiness into my life everyday.

Michelle & Bryce's Summer Wedding // Sugarland Barn// Arena, WI

When I start blogging in my off season, I get to take some time and sit with each wedding I shot the preview season and kind of relive it. That was especially fun with The Carmichael’s. Sugarland Barn is hands down one of my very favorite Wisconsin venues, for a million reasons, but the big ones are, 1. All inclusive venue- I love a wedding start to finish in one place, think of how the flow and logistics are simplified without a bunch of travel. 2. Spaces, this venue is tucked into the end of a country road, plantation on on side of the road, barn on the other, endless areas to roam, 3. The barn! That big grand barn! I mean any wedding can take place here, from black tie to boho to anything in between.

Working with Michelle and Bryce was so rewarding, they were very sweet to me all day and made my job super easy by just looking at each other and being madly in love and not needing any direction except lets “walk over here”. They have some cool friends and family who love to dance and have fun and I felt like I would fit RIGHT in with this crowd!

Start to finish this wedding was meaningful, sweet, genuine, fun and just very real and I loved it. Be sure to check out the vendors below and give this couple some comment love!

Tony & Katie // Charming Paine Arts Center Wedding // Oshkosh, WI

When no one else was quite right, and Katie and Tony finally met, they knew they were meant to be. I love this love story. This couple was beyond smitten with each other, beyond kind to me and their entire day was centered around their love and their closest family. I’ve had a lot of covid weddings make big changes to their day to accommodate the season we are in, and although Tony and Katie had to make some adjustments, their original vision, venue and feel remained. I both love that and appreciate that about them. I know there was worry along the way, with the adjustments how this day would end up looking, but I know what I seen in their eyes, and it was nothing less than absolute joy. Katie looked around before I left and said she was so happy they did it this way. It was one of the most beautiful and loveliest days I have ever shot. Vendor list below, everyone! Give these guys some comment love.
