The blog is alive! And opening with a very special wedding. I feel so fortunate to have met Marissa and her amazing sister Marah through a Wisconsin Bride event a while back. I've worked with them on a wedding years ago (Hi Rachel) and have been a HUGE fan of Marah's Elegant Bridal ever since. Marissa and I started chatting shortly after and I couldn't be more honored she chose me to photograph this spectacular day! These two. They have been together nine and a half years and are the most perfect couple together. This day was meant to be. This wedding was put together so perfectly, so Marissa and Kane. Laid back, Lakeside, beautiful weather, boats passing by, surrounded by friends and family and awesome music and great energy. Everything was intentional and genuine right down to the attire, the song choices and most importantly their own written vows. These amazingly REAL people made it SO much fun. REAL people. REAL love. I couldn't have a better wedding to open the 2017 wedding season! Here's a preview of The Hoffman's wedding day, in no particular order. Enjoy! and leave the couple some comment love!
