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

Talking to Jordan and Madison about their wedding day has me already excited for next year! There will be no shortage of fun and laughter; of that I am sure. These two know how to have a good time. As Madison’s mom will say, “Eat, Drink and be Merry”. Or in this case, Married 😉

Jordan and Madison’s May Engagement Session in La Crosse, Wisconsin

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

Nathan and Brianna were such a dream to photograph. They were so easy going. When you’re having professional photos taken, it can be easy to feel nervous and stiff. But, take notes from these two and just relax, lean into each other, laugh a lot, and truly spend this time enjoying the presence of your partner.

Kyle and Sarah’s Family Engagement Session at a Wisconsin Nursery

These two are so incredibly sweet. And, I got to take their engagement photos at my favorite little getaway in Crawford County Wisconsin. It’s just a perfect patch of open fields with no one watching.

Emily and Jedediah’s Engagement Photo Getaway

Chase and Danielle. Loving, honest, silly, crazy, supportive, passionate and adventurous. They roadtripped from Wisconsin Rapids to my favorite ‘middle of nowhere’ spot and I think we can all agree that it did not let them down. Can we live in this moment forever? The lighting, love and laugher was everything. The golden natural grasses […]

Chase and Danielle’s Wisconsin Fall Engagement Photos

Josh and Janell’s engagement session was filled with so much happiness. Their love for each other was so sweet. As the wind rippled through the natural grasses, our laughter followed. Hand in hand, they strolled together. Following my cues as they shared a glance, or looked to the path ahead. Josh’s little guy, Jay, joined […]
