You know what I love about a barn wedding? It's that it doesn't have to be country. It can be anything which is why it's become a popular trend. I have had some pretty classy weddings take place in barns that didn't include cowboy boots or mason jars and I have had some that did. That's the beauty of it. Every wedding that I shoot at The Enchanted Barn is completely unique and different. Courtney describes herself as a "chillzilla" and Jake was the funniest groom. Together they made this silly and laid-back fun couple that I was so glad to work with. The day was fabulous, great weather, beautiful location, gorgeous couple and fun had by all. Enjoy the preview!
Ahh..Magnus and Holly are this amazing world-traveling couple. They met in Duluth, MN while Magnus was studying abroad then switched countries and Holly studied abroad and for years they were never on the same continent as each other. Magnus went back to Sweden, Holly went on to drive the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, because, why wouldn't you drive the wienermobile? life went on as they knew it but they some how found each other again on a bus. It's like a happy chance, serendipity. After seeing them together at our meeting and even more so at their wedding I just new this happenstance was fate. They are that couple when you just know it's forever. Their sense of humor alone would do it but their tight bond lasted over thousands of miles and oceans and time. Eventually Holly moved to Sweden and met "The Swedes" as they call it, and luckily 20+ of them flew to America for this special day. I loved the additional of the Swedes, the girls who stood up in the wedding got up for a toast and announced themselves in total unison "hello, we are the swedes" everyone laughed, they said some special words to Holly and then broke into song which ignited the room. We corresponded over email at odd hours then in Sweden, me in Wisconsin but nothing could prepare me for how perfect this day ended up being. It was such a special day. I shot a double header that weekend and worried I would be tired out but the moment I entered this wedding I thanked god I was there and a part of it. It was an absolutely fun, entertaining, delightful and 110% about love, family and friends. Here's to Magnus and Holly and their next adventure! Enjoy the preview.
The Waters in Oskhosh is a perfect venue for this classy wedding, crisp, a clean backdrop surrounded by water, docks, big lawn, immaculate dining room, I was so impressed and LOVED shooting here. Amanda was stunning in her lace gown, mismatched long bridesmaids dresses and classic black suits fit perfectly together. The weather on the water was so perfect for an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour and my favorite game of Heads Up!
Classic wedding for the win! Amanda and Jordan's day was smooth sailing and a laid back good time. Here's a preview of the day, enjoy!
