Damian and Leigh had the outdoor ceremony by the river that they’d been dreaming of. And the water droplets only added to the romance of the day. After the ceremony, we did some fun photos with the wedding party and clear umbrellas. And of course, some of the new Mr. and Mrs. Jilk!

These two wanted their wedding weekend to be filled with fun for everyone. And a roadtrip to the Wisconsin Peninsula was the perfect way to start it out. They started their weekend with a fishing charter trip onto the lake with their officiant and friends and family. They not only got to watch the sun rise, but also had great luck with their catch. Nathan and Bri’s family made sure I got to have a great weekend also.

The lake, the country vibe, the beautiful northern feel. The emotions. The surprise first look with Chase’s daughters. The touching first look with Danielle. The reception filled with their engagement photos. The way everyone treated us like we were part of the family. The soft, neutral colors. The song Chase (a musician) recorded for Danielle to walk down the aisle too. The fact that I got to spend the whole day with my sister as an assistant so I could take both photos and video. The laughter and fun from the whole bridal party. The way Danielle and Chase would be naturally holding hands throughout the day. How excited they were to finally be husband and wife. Gosh, I could just go on and on.

Everything they’d been working on to bring this vision to life. It was now. It was here. Ben turned. Took her hands and had the biggest smile. So much love in his eyes. The river was softly flowing in the background. The sunshine streaming. They took in the moment. Shared their first wedding day kiss.

If I had to choose a few words to describe Stoney and Amanda’s wedding day? Fun, energetic, and so beautiful. These two put so much thought into the little details for everyone involved. Their wedding party, parents, guests, kids, pups. They are both such giving souls. Thinking of everyone else even on their special day. […]

Alex and Mikayla picked the first day of October for their wedding. It was a beautiful day. Sunshine poured over the outdoor ceremony. The creamy tan suits perfectly complimented the bridesmaid’s hunter green dresses.

There is something so special about photographing the wedding of your cousin. Tabitha and I grew up together. In our adult lives, distance and busyness has kept us apart more than I would like. Whenever we connect though, it’s like we haven’t missed a beat. ♥ This girl is definitely something special. The morning of […]

Last year, I met Kevin and Teagen for engagement pictures at Duck Egg Park. While it was my first time at this Viroqua park, the two of them had shared many special memories there. I was in photographer’s heaven with all the pines and beautiful long grass and for them, the pictures had even more […]

My farming roots are always so happy to become part of another farm family’s love story ♥  The Horstmann Farm and Events venue in West Salem, Wisconsin was the perfect spot for Josh and Adriana to celebrate their vows. On a dead end road, with beautiful hills and scenery – we couldn’t have asked for […]
