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.

Chase and Danielle’s Beautiful Rainy Day Wedding at Bullseye Golf Course, Wisconsin Rapids

It was a hot day, and we got there just after 3pm which was probably one the hottest times of the day. But that didn’t stop the magic from happening! These two did absolutely great, and so did everyone in their wedding party. Even the little people smiled for a couple of shots!

Kyle and Sarah’s Wedding Ceremony in Prairie du Chien Wisconsin

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.

Ben and Nicole’s Summer Wisconsin Wedding at Pettibone Resort in La Crosse

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. […]

Stoney and Amanda’s Wisconsin May Wedding at Celebrations on the River, La Crosse

Abbey told me one thing they’ve done since the beginning of their relationship is going on long drives together. Evan and I love road trips as well. Truly some of the best conversations can happen when you just get in the car and drive. No plan necessary. Just spending time together.

Wes and Tiera’s Wisconsin Country Wedding

John and Aimee’s wedding day was nothing short of amazing. From the gorgeous florals (looking at you Wildflowers Special Events), the way the blush and sage complimented each other, the men’s tan pants with suspenders, the bridesmaid’s beautiful dresses – each a unique style, but the same lovely color of sea-foam green from Dream’s Bridal Boutique. Aimee’s eye for detail didn’t miss a thing when she coordinated their wedding day.

John and Aimee’s Sage and Blush Wedding at Gatherings on the Ridge

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 […]
