Brad and Tricia's The Lageret Wedding

My last wedding of August. I can't believe how fast summer goes! It's been an incredible wedding season and now that I am on the countdown to the end I am reflecting back on all the AMAZING weddings and couples and feeling very very thankful. 

Tricia and Brad are so wonderful, they have been waiting for this day for so long and I have to say it was absolutely perfect.  Tricia stunned in her lace gown and Brad dapper in his navy suit. These two are so in sync they even had the same idea for wedding gifts.  The Lageret has this warm yet industrial feel that makes it so unique that only an old tobacco warehouse could provide. With an intimate wedding party and officiated by their friend and supported by so many,  and probably the most incredible dessert table I have ever laid eyes on, this couples day was a modern day fairytale.

Mike and Allison's Northwoods Inspired Wedding // Sugarland Barn

I remembered the day in April when I got Allison's inquiry. We were in Madison and my husband was at a seminar, I was wrangling the boys. We sat for a moment I checked my email and there it was this AMAZING inquiry. I knew immediately I had to call her and chat. Unusual for me! But I emailed immediately and then we called and chatted, every word she said I was swooning over.  Northwoods greenery, rustic and classic at one of my favorite Wisconsin Wedding venues! Sugarland.  Then she says they live near Denver and want their engagement photos there. My head was spinning HOW can I convince her to book me immediately?!  Friends, I call this wedding "If I got married over again" This is what it would look like, a mix of textures and greens and golds, outside at Sugarland barn, warm wood tones and a gorgeous tulle dress that moves. This is my very own wedding inspiration.  Coming up on tens years of marriage this wedding made me want to do it all over again (same groom!). Marriage isn't easy every day, There are good days and bad and over ten years I have realized you have to remember the good stuff and put that first, keep that in the front of your brain and fall in love over and over everyday to keep it alive forever.  I hope my wedding photos serve my couples with a constant reminder of the good and to cherish and remember that everyday.

Ryan and Sarah's Golden Mast Wedding// Okauchee Lake WI

When I get wedding referrals from past brides, I am ecstatic. It's the best feeling ever. Sarah and Ryan were this awesome couple I met at Jake and Desiree's wedding last summer.  I bonded with Ryan at the Margarita bar while Sarah was in the wedding party. We struck up a convo and I shared my name on a napkin since I didn't have a business card (Rookie Move) When their inquiry came through I was nervous it would conflict with a major family event, but it didn't! It worked out and I am SO glad it did. From the first meeting to the emails to our super funny engagement session to this amazing wedding working with these two has been a blast.  Golden Mast is such a unique venue on Okauchee Lake, it was new to me and it transformed me to somewhere totally new.  From start to finish from the gorgeous dress to the outdoorsy photo location and then the most beautiful day of summer that kept everyone outside, the couple and DJ decided to dance outside instead, basically a wedding photographer's dream come true.  Enjoy the photos!
