Ted and Melissa // Madison Wisconsin// Summer Engagement Session

OOOKAY Fashionistas, if you want to rock your engagement session, do like Melissa and go big! just look at this dress! the color?! Amazing. Melissa shared a little inspiration with me and we chose Lake Farm Park in Madison to meet because it has so many trails and open fields and piers, just a little bit of everything! And they brought some amazing outfits, killer smiles and champagne but the real MVP was Lambeau their insanely precious and photogenic pup!

Absolutely LOVE this engagement session.

Justin Trails Micro Wedding // Luke and Ashley // Sparta, WI

Ohhhh My. This was my first wedding off a big break for me and it got me so excited to be shooting again. Elopement or as I call it a Micro Wedding! A Micro wedding is like an elopement except you choose a venue and invite a small group of close people and still have a dress and photographer and details….does it get any better than that?

I felt immediately bonded with Luke and Ashley. I spoke w/ Ashley on the phone but the moment I walked in I felt so connected with her which made shooting and editing this wedding extremely fun and enjoyable for me. I was only contracted for three hours (micro wedding! savings!) but I felt like I was there for much much longer and I delivered to them a comparable amount of photos. win win!

Justin Trails is an amazing place nestled into some beautiful country outside of Sparta, WI which isn’t too far from home for me. Another reason to love it. But the beauty of this place never seizes to amaze me. I actually missed it when I arrived and felt like this day, although short kind of grounded me back to my roots. Barn weddings, wandering open fields of wild flowers.

The moment I got home I had to start editing so the turn around for this one was quick ;) but that’s what happens when I LOVE the couple and feel inspiration pouring out me! Enjoy this sweet day with this sweet and amazing couple!

Burlap and Bells Wedding// Caitie and Ryan // Black River Falls, WI

I didn’t meet Caitie and Ryan until their wedding day, which isn’t unusual for me. But I usually start to understand them as people and them as a couple as the day progresses. The first look was that moment for me when I seen who this couple was. Ryan’s reaction to his bride was the sweetest and they took a quiet moment alone in the beautiful backdrop of the woods. Burlap and Bells is the most incredible venue! And it’s practically in my backyard. Can you believe this beauty exists?! I remember this day just glowing, the warm sun and soft light made the perfect day even more lovely!
