When Jeff and Eliza started to message me about their wedding last year I had just been camping up in Minocqua/Boulder Junction area for the first time ever and I fell in love with that area, I want to spend all my summers there so when these two told me they were getting married and at old boys camp her family owns up in Minocqua I was so excited.

When their wedding day showed up even the rain didn’t ruin this wonderful day and this magical place or anyones mood. I’m honestly getting tears in my eyes reliving this day right now and I wish I could express how special it was to be apart of this day, to meet all of these people, to watch the rain clouds be pushed away by sunshine the more the guests showed up for their ceremony - the moment Eliza’s amazing 100 year old Grandmother showed up and watching her face as she saw all of her family members in one place, I mean seriously, what and amazing thing to witness and document! It’s no secret I love my job and it’s couples and families like this who reassure me that I am doing what I am meant to do. I am so beyond grateful that Eliza and Jeff found my work and trusted me to document their wedding day.

Hayley and Andy are a force together, when I first met them to talk about their plans for their wedding, I felt connected to them instantly, their love for people is so apparent and their love for each other is ridiculous is the best way possible – all day at this wedding I kept feeling like I was so lucky to get to be the one to document this day. I showed up at this summer camp earlier in the day and everyone they love were setting up the wedding, they picked wild flowers and a group of friends were making center pieces and bouquets for the day, as another crew was making the dinning tent perfect. Dinner was made by the guests followed by speeches that brought everyone to laughter and then tears from a sisters love. Hearing the stories about Hayley & Andy made me feel lucky that I get to know these two humans. The community surrounding these two is a beautiful thing to witness and this day was pure perfection from start to finish.

On a chilly October Saturday Melanie & Dan were married and this lovely event was outdoors -- fleece lined leggings, blankets, fires and hand warmers for all and a wonderful wedding it was. I had the wonderful Jentri Colello second shoot and even though we were a bit chilly we had such a wonderful time documenting these two exchange their vows, meeting their furry children and eating pizza with all their guests.
