Adam and Meghan's Charming Barn Wedding // Bridle Barn and Gardens, Mt Horeb, WI

Meghan and Adam have been an amazing couple to work with, first with inviting me to Washington DC for an engagement session, then renting a car to pick me up out of state at midnight, taking my husband and I out on the town. We've really grown to know this couple and seeing their wedding come to life showed it's genuinity.  I really enjoyed the Wisconsin Meets California touches and the backdrop of Bridle Barn and Gardens, Meg's BHLDN gown and Adams Navy suit. The lights in the trees, Adele playing in the background, strong meaningful words at the ceremony, funny and heartfelt toasts, a little  couple dance off back to the barn after dusk photos and a blast from the past surprise song from the brides dad. Real, True, Genuine People. I'm glad to say their wedding matched them perfectly.  Despite some changing weather, it was an absolute perfect day.  I couldn't be more honored to be a small part of it.

Alysa and Tyler's Romantic Barn Wedding // Enchanted Barn, Hillsdale, WI

I have been waiting for this wedding for a LONG time. Alysa and Tyler chose me to document their day plenty in advance and we were able to meet for an engagement session and then I didn't get to see them again for another whole year.  I gathered right away that these two were perfect for each other,  and they had already overcome so much together that this union was forever.  Then I got to the wedding and met their families, who have known each other for year and years long before Alysa and Tyler were born and I could see the puzzle forming, this was always meant to be. I was lucky enough to be a part of it.  I think although this was a gorgeous wedding at a spectacular venue, The Enchanted Barn, the love between these two shines brighter than all decor or dresses.  When I was packing to leave Alysa said "do you have to go? put the camera away and stay for a beer"  These bonds with my couples are sacred to me! I feel the exact same, it's like after the wedding it's over and I am losing a friend. What will I do with out Alysa emails?  But,the best is yet to come.  Enjoy the preview!

Something Magical happened in 2015

I've seen so many "year in review" blog posts or these amazing "best of" posts and I love to look through them and see everyones year, most of the time I do not follow anyone closely enough to see each wedding they shoot. Even photographer friends of mine I don't follow closely enough, not because I wouldn't love to but more so lack of time and commitment to doing so.  I however am not as create as some of these bloggers,  or I am basking in my off season of sweats and netflix binge-watching and just truthfully loving laziness right now. I know soon in a month or two things will really pick up for me and so I am taking this time off to do just about nothing but cuddle my babies and celebrate holidays with family.  

I am not doing a "best of" because I know I certainly can't choose a favorite.  But you are more than welcome to comment below if you do have a favorite couple or wedding! That being said, I LOVED...LOVED my 2015 wedding season. All 20 couples/ weddings were spectacular. I connected with everyone, I was happy to be at each and every wedding and looking back brings back all that happy and good and warm temps back in my life.  So I quickly ran through my files, I picked a color photo of each couple and I wanted to share them again here with you. I linked their wedding blog so you can relive the wedding in case you missed it or in case you loved it and want to see a preview again ;)  I may do specific categories and share more from each wedding at a later date, we will see how winter goes! Stay with me, Spring and new weddings and engagements will be living up the blog soon. 

 I had 20 weddings, 19 of which are featured here as one was an intimate elopement.  CHEERS to 2015 and what's to come in 2016!!!

Wedding # 2-  Sean and Kristy at The Enchanted Barn
