A dreamy wedding day in the place they call home 🤍
-
So much love and intention went into this day but it was the people from near and far that made it so unforgettable.

Seven years of coffee shop work days.
-
It took exactly three months after graduating to realize the job I studied for wasn’t the career I dreamed of. It took another three years of building in the margins of a 9 to 5 before I made the leap to full time.
-
And it truly felt like a leap: nerve-wracking, stressful, exciting, liberating and overwhelming all at once. But I remember walking out of my cubicle with an armload of belongings and the biggest smile on my face because I was finally going for it.
-
Seven years later, life has changed in just about every way. What hasn’t changed is the trust I put in myself, the support of this guy beside me and the need to move my office to the coffee shop at least once a week.
-
To every couple and family who has trusted me with their story along the way - thank you. Here’s to seven more years...and a lot more lattes along the way 😆

We took a normal weeknight activity and made an adventure out of it.
-
Nothing crazy. Nothing planned. Just exploring one of their favorite places and letting me tag along for the night.
-
I love sessions like this. Give me your real life every day of the week and let me show you the art we can create out of it.

There is just something about a black and white wedding portrait that just makes me pause.
-
So here’s a few from Saturday’s wedding at the Dousman House in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin that made the warmest fall day feel like a breathe of fresh air 🤍

Brandon and Brooke had a packed house at Long View Ranch, with family and friends everywhere you looked.
-
But the day was still full of intentional, intimate moments.
-
The private vows at the edge of the property. The sunset walk down the lane to kick off the reception. The speeches that left the entire room in tears.
-
They wanted the big celebration and the quiet moments, and they made room for both. It was exactly the day they envisioned, and I'm so glad I got to be there for it.

There’s a moment at every wedding when, for a few seconds, I have a better view than just about anyone.
-
And it’s never on the timeline.
-
The nerves are gone. The stress fades. Everything the day has been building toward has finally happened and all that’s left is two people walking back down the aisle, unable to stop smiling as it sinks in: they’re married.
-
For a few seconds, it’s just them, before the hugs, congratulations and happy tears take over.
-
Shelby and Trevor, under the tall pines of Yellow River Forest. Those seconds were yours and I’m so glad I got to capture them.

Mazie and Justin envisioned their ceremony on top of a hill, surrounded by prairie grass and her parent’s home off in the distance.
-
Then it rained. All week.
-
By Saturday, the whole region was under a flood watch and moving the ceremony indoors went from a hard decision to an easy one.
-
But I knew how much that hill meant to Mazie, so my heart hurt for her.
-
But the day was still incredible - everyone pulling together to make the best of the changes, chasing short breaks in the rain to grab photos outside before running back in when it started up again.
-
My favorite part: we still made it to the hill. Just the two of them, me and her dad behind the wheel of his truck with just enough of a window in the radar to bring a piece of their dream back to life.
-
On paper, a lot didn’t go to plan on Saturday. But that’s not what I’ll remember most about their day.
-
What stands out to me is how Mazie and Justin - and everyone around them - refused to let a little rain overshadow the day, choosing to find joy in every moment instead.
-
Anyone else have a wedding day that didn’t go exactly to plan but turned out perfect anyway? Share yours below and I’ll drop mine in the comments too 👇

Getting ready moments from James and Hannah’s day at the Dousman.
-
After countless wedding days, I’m still finding new ways to elevate the story.
-
One idea: warm window light to bring out the subtle details - especially the heirloom jewelry.
-
Another: a quiet black and white silhouette, highlighting texture and timeless touches.
-
Same window, same light, two very different ways to tell one beautiful story.

Cons of being a photographer in peak wedding season: living on caffeine and electrolytes, locked in the editing cave where time stops existing.
-
I only accidentally saw 3am once this week, promise.
-
Pros of being a photographer in peak wedding season: getting paid to create someone’s family heirlooms one photo at a time.
-
Not a bad trade if you ask me 🤎
