Bryce & Andrea {the wedding}

June 15, 2018 Weddings

We talk about love a lot over here. It’s our job and drives our passion for storytelling. Witnessing all types of love between wedding couples teaches us time and time again that every story is unique. Bryce and Andrea are no exception and had us grinning all day long over how sweet they are with each other, and their family and friends.

We say that a lot too… ‘surrounded with love from family and friends.’ And it’s always true. But these two were blanketed in such joy we couldn’t help but dream everyone’s unique story as we watched hugs, smiles and laughter fill the day.

Bryce and Andrea planned for a first look and bridal portraits prior to their ceremony which always make us happy. Heidel House in Green Lake Wisconsin was the perfect backdrop for these two to set eyes on each other for the first time that day. And planning for all of your bridal portraits prior to your ceremony takes the pressure off afterwards to rush from one place to the next.

Their ceremony included heartfelt vows and songs sung by friends who blew us away with their talent. Unique spins on first dances had us smiling from ear to ear and college accapella friends didn’t let the day go by without sharing a few songs together either. There MIGHT be too much love story in this day to share in images but we’re going to try anyways…

Rustic Door County Barn Wedding {katie & mark}

August 21, 2014 Weddings

For months we’ve looked forward to spending this evening with dear friends of ours from back in the day. The celebrations we’ve captured in Door County have each incorporated a unique welcome for guests embracing the traditions of the county. From a late summer fish boil to epic early summer bonfire, nothing has been short of amazing.

Mark and Katie grew up in Door County and this was our first ‘childhood home’ wedding up there. Having grown up riding her bike up the road to grandma and grandpas farm, there was no other place Katie would have wanted this celebration to be. Enjoy a different look at Door County and this hometown gathering of friends and family.

Why Do A First Look {kara & joe}

March 4, 2013 Weddings

Beautiful weddings happen every day. Set all the fancy details aside, what we truly love to capture is beauty, and beauty is everywhere to us. For a twist, we want to share three key elements that made this day stand out to us; brides wedding prep, an emotional First Look and unique wedding portraits in the fog. Although it was a rain filled day, that only added depth to the raw emotion Kara & Joe feel for one another. This day was a unique opportunity to push ourselves as creative artists and to soak in the pure moments these two gave us.

We invite you to step out in the rain with us to experience something magical.
