Michel and Brittany's Dreamy Boho Wedding // Burlap and Bells

After this wedding, I think peach just became my new favorite color.

It’s funny how life comes full circle—especially since I was Travis’s mom was my childhood neighbor. When she reached out to me after Travis got engaged, it felt like such a special moment, reflecting on how far we’ve all come since those days. Life really has a way of surprising us!

These two absolutely nailed their wedding day. The dress was stunning, the color palette was perfection, the florals were beyond beautiful, and don’t even get me started on the weather—it was just perfect. Add in a wedding party full of laughter and love, and you’ve got yourself an unforgettable day.

Chula Vista provided the most incredible backdrop. The ceremony location was tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the resort, offering such a serene and woodsy vibe. I couldn't have asked for a more peaceful setting. The photos were taken in such an effortlessly gorgeous spot, and having everything in one place for the reception was the cherry on top. It made the entire day even more seamless and enjoyable.

I hope you enjoy this preview, along with the vendor list below. I can’t wait to be invited back to this stunning venue soon—it was truly a dream!

Travis and Courtney's perfectly peachy wedding day // Chula Vista Resort// WI Dells

This was a new twist on wedding planning! I coordinate with the goom for this one so his fiance could focus on her schooling. How Sweet is that?! Michel did a great job putting this wedding together and connecting with vendors and doing timelines. He was really organized and detail oriented.It was a fun new experience for me to work solely with a groom!

and it worked flawlessly.

Michel and Brittney chose a Tuesday wedding as it was their anniversary date, how fun is a Tuesday wedding! The day was perfect and I loved the boho elements this couple brought to this venue. Brittany dress was perfect for her and the vibe of the day. and the florals and color pallette was so gorgous. It worked perfectly for this September day in the woods of Wisconsin. I love his venue for its open air concept and all the places you can explore on the property for photos. It’s truly a Wisconsin gem!

Along with their families and children these two said I do in the pine plantation at Burlap and Bells, how beautiful are their children?

The gorgeous wedding of Max and Jesslyn at The Carriage House at Lac La Belle// Oconomowoc WI

Oh my have I been waiting to share this one. When a wedding couple say “have you worked at my venue before” and you say no and they are good with it means they trust you and your expertise. Who wouldnt want a creative to walk into a NEW space? If I never shot at a new venue, I would shoot weddings at one venue for the las6 16 + years. In fact, when you bring a photographer to a venue they have NOT been before its actually an enormous bonus for you because they are not shooting the same old thing.

Jesslyn and Max were this SO easy and fun couple to work with since our first call. I remember having a really bad day and we had a call set up and she kindly asked a few routine questions and then said “well, we want to officially book you” and instantly my day was made and my perspective shifted and I truly CANNOT express HOW many times that has happend to me in the past 16 -17 years, Photography has actually pulled me out of some slumps. I can always turn to weddings to bring joy to my heart. Jesslyn and Max’s wedding did just that. An incredible backdrop, perfect weather, a big old family party, soft and pretty details that were well thoughtout. Jesslyn’s dress so delicate and so her. Max’s dapper linen suite was her perfect match.

Most of all, this couple fully trusted me and we made gorgeous photos together. I am so IN LOVE with this wedding and I am so glad to share it here.
