Mulberry Lane Farm, Wisconsin Spring Wedding

June 1, 2016 Weddings

Nothing screams perfection quite like a wedding in Wisconsin on an absolutely gorgeous spring day! We were thrilled to spend the day at Mulberry Lane Farm the other week with Kelsey and Aaron as they said ‘I DO!”. With trees blooming and baby animals chasing around the grounds, they could not have planned a more playful environment to celebrate in. When couples put so many details and personal touches into their day, we can’t help but overload on the sharing. Mulberry Lane Farm is a unique, modern and local wedding venue to work with. Their staff is accommodating and the farm is every bit as magical as you expect it to be. Heirloom Kitchen served a delicious and locally sourced meal and the flowers from Buds N Blooms were breathtaking. Starting the wedding season on a farm, in the spring with a spectacular couple is just heaven. Joining other beautiful vendors to help make the newly-weds dreams come true is the cherry on top!

Ripon University, Wisconsin Engagement

Oh, how I love photographing in new seasons… especially when a soft little snowfall starts mid-session. Bliss! These two kindled their love while attending Ripon College so capturing their engagement session on the very grounds only seemed appropriate.

Door County, Gordon Lodge Wedding

January 18, 2016 Weddings

Funny story… a few years ago I purchased a pair of pretty fabulous Steve Madden boots. Upon receiving so many compliments on them, I decided to start a hashtag for them affectionately named #whereintheworldarekimthielsboots I photograph quite a few musicians. It’s a passion of mine and a creative outlet to capture some pretty emotional art being made. So, I get a wedding inquiry one day… from a musician… and it states that he found me through my boot hashtag. BAH, even better! #whereintheworldarekimthielsboots lead Chicago musician Keith Betti and his bride-to-be to invite me to Door County with them in celebration of their love. The day could not have had a more beautiful setting by the waters of Gordon Lodge in Baileys Harbor and was topped off by a breathtaking sunset, just see for yourself!

So, there you have it… the power of a hashtag and why so many people do it. You just never know where it may lead someone.
