Cherie + Kyle’s In-Home Engagement Session

There are some people in this world that are just meant to be together for the rest of their lives. Cherie always refills the k-cup drawer with coffee for Kyle every morning before she leaves for work, and Kyle always takes Cherie’s glasses off and plugs in her phone when she falls asleep on the couch. Kyle proposed to Cherie outside Chives (right by the studio!) before what Cherie thought was going to be an anniversary celebratory dinner. As it turned out, Cherie and Kyle got to celebrate not only their anniversary, but their engagement as well (she said yes!).

Kate + Andy’s Up North Engagement Session!

When it came to planning our engagement sessions, Andrew and I were really intentional about picking locations and activities that have special meaning for us. Our engagement sessions are another opportunity for us to insert our personalities and hobbies into our wedding journey, and we wanted to do it right!

For our first engagement session, we headed to my family’s cabin in Spread Eagle, Wisconsin. We love spending time on our private lake with our pups frolicking through the woods and splashing in the water. It’s one of our happy places, made all the more special because my 91-year-old grandma still calls this cabin home!

Why I Love the Wedding Industry

I have been in the wedding industry for nine years now—WOW! I didn’t really fully understand why it was so special until a few years into it. It is an industry that’s completely centered on love, and was created to serve couples and support them in creating one of the best days of their lives. It very much is a serving industry, and that’s the way that I approach it. I’m not in this business to put myself first or put myself out there. It is my job to serve couples. My goal is to help them fall deeper in love. I provide them with a tangible and visual piece that they can refer back to for the rest of their lives, that reminds them why they got married, what they felt in that moment on their wedding day, and for them to reflect on how much their love has grown since that point.

About to step into her wedding dress, the first butterflies of the day washed over Johanna, making the nervous excitement a reality.

Johanna was thrilled to be putting on her wedding dress and celebrate her marriage to Aaron with their closest friends and family. Johanna and Aaron shared a brief first look with one another to reveal their outfits. Aaron knew Johanna was going to be stunningly beautiful, but was blown away seeing her, and his warm, loving reaction was a privilege to witness.

Stephanie + Alex’s Spring Wedding in Green Bay, Wisconsin

On the warmest spring day, Stephanie and Alex‘s closest family and friends gathered at St. John’s Church to witness them say I do. The sun shone brightly, filling the church with light. Before the ceremony, Stephanie and Alex shared a moment holding hands around the corner so that they wouldn’t see each other but would still be able to feel one another. They hand wrote letters to one another filled with sweet words of love and happiness. Both her eyes filled with tears, and Alex was especially touched as he opened Stephanie‘s gift of a small pin with photos of his grandparents who’ve passed.

Charlotte + Jeremy’s Fall Wedding at Green Bay Botanical Gardens in Wisconsin

Mother nature had saved up her energy and waited to release an explosion of color for Charlotte and Jeremy‘s wedding day. The first weekend in October proved to be stunning, crisp, and just slightly overcast; it was the perfect fall day for Charlotte and Jeremy to say “I do.”

As the ladies begin to dress at Green Bay Botanical Gardens, Charlotte left and admitted she was a little nervous. She was helped into her stunning Mori Lee gown by her mom and sisters. Flanked on each side by her favorite ladies, the girls clutched their stunning fall bouquets and escorted Charlotte to the beautiful garden ceremony site where the incredible couple would say I do.

Amanda + Jake’s Wedding at Green Bay Botanical Gardens in Wisconsin

Something that a bride never wants to hear on her wedding day: there’s rain in the forecast. Amanda and Jake were preparing for the worst but hoping for the best for their outdoor wedding ceremony and reception. As we got closer to the ceremony time, Amanda slipped into her gorgeous gown (designed by Essence of Australia), and the clouds grew lighter and lighter. Amanda tiptoed out of the bridal prep area, sharing a First Look with her father, and then with Jake. As Jake turned to face Amanda for the first time, a hint of sunshine broke through the clouds. Not a drop of rain fell that day.
