What a day to remember✨Amy & Mark at the beautiful @thecommodoredelafield felt like a warm spring hug. With so much love and this beautiful setting, it was so fun to get to create in the magical space.

There’s something really special about this season of life and this session…standing on the edge of what’s next, while already holding everything that matters most.💛 Getting to photograph both sides of her story… was something I’ll never forget. Lena, you’re doing such a beautiful job.

Couldn’t have asked for a sweeter couple to kick off my 2026 wedding season with! Paige and Clayton tied the knot the day before the blizzard and it was so beautiful! Before the ceremony, they decided to do a first look and say their own private vows to each other- it was so special, I highly recommend doing this! It gives the chance to be fully present and gives more breathing room throughout the day, it’s a win for everyone. Congratulations you two! Shoutout to the amazing vendor team!

Remember last Monday when every Wisconsinite was basking in all of the 70 degree glory...well that was the most beautiful March day and I had the privilege of having the stunning Rayna Marie in front of my lens and I loved every moment. She is such a talented, beautiful, sweet soul and getting to play around and create together was just what I needed to kick off spring (even if it doesn’t feel like it today!) Rayna performs all around the Wisconsin Dells area - go check out her out! @raynamariemusic

Give me all the color!🌸🌺🌷Marisa & Jason’s Eloise wedding was full of love with bold florals, and the most vibrant palette, the kind that makes you feel something the second you see it. A reminder to make your wedding day YOURS and that it doesn’t have to be neutral. More on the blog! Link in bio!

A snow-kissed celebration that was years in the making! ❄️ Jordyn and James’ story is deeply rooted in their hometown: same small town roots, a first date at a beloved local bar, and an engagement that cheered on the Badgers! Today, their story brought them to Chapters on the Horizon for a truly unforgettable winter wedding. Their day was romantic and relaxed, sparkling details paired with rich tones of burgundy, dark blue, and winter neutrals that brought this vision to life. And the seating chart? Pure Wisconsin perfection: cheese curds! 🧀 Congrats J&J! Ready for the full Wisconsin experience?
