Alysa and Tyler's Romantic Barn Wedding // Enchanted Barn, Hillsdale, WI

I have been waiting for this wedding for a LONG time. Alysa and Tyler chose me to document their day plenty in advance and we were able to meet for an engagement session and then I didn't get to see them again for another whole year.  I gathered right away that these two were perfect for each other,  and they had already overcome so much together that this union was forever.  Then I got to the wedding and met their families, who have known each other for year and years long before Alysa and Tyler were born and I could see the puzzle forming, this was always meant to be. I was lucky enough to be a part of it.  I think although this was a gorgeous wedding at a spectacular venue, The Enchanted Barn, the love between these two shines brighter than all decor or dresses.  When I was packing to leave Alysa said "do you have to go? put the camera away and stay for a beer"  These bonds with my couples are sacred to me! I feel the exact same, it's like after the wedding it's over and I am losing a friend. What will I do with out Alysa emails?  But,the best is yet to come.  Enjoy the preview! 

Mackaylin and Sam Summertime engagements // Lacrosse, WI

Ahh! I had so much fun at this session, I am always open to new and different ideas but that are meaningful to the couple, when Mack contacted me for engagement photos and mentioned they longboard around Lacrosse together, I was instantly excited! Mack and Sam are an amazing couple with an awesome connection, I am SO glad I was there to document it. I wanted to post every photo but don't want to give it all away!!

Michael and Erica's Summer Engagement session at Devils Lake // Devils Lake State Park

I met Michael and Erica at Devils Lake State Park, our first meeting, once they walked around the corner with their baby Hana, I could instantly sense these two were going to be fun. I have a very strong intuition! Erica and Michael were amazing in front of the camera, wanting almost all candid moments, their connection was real and there was almost zero direction given. I quietly passed along the evening with them almost observing. It was amazing!  I cannot wait for their wedding in Missouri next June at The Silver Oaks Chateau, they have some lovely ideas planned and I know it's going to be a magical day.
