“Laugh as much as you breathe and love as long as you live”
This about sums up Macey and Justin…….2 people that laugh together until their abs throb! :) Now, that is the kind of love that I understand and can get on board with!!!! :)
This camera was the first gift that Justin gave to Macey….it flamed her interest for photography and inspired her to run her own little business in northern WI and she is LOOOOVING it! :) How cute is that?!?! :)
Oliver, I wish you many nap filled days playing with your puppy and sticking your tongue out in the sun! :) You rock buddie….
…..printed published wedding!!! EEEKKKKKK! :) YAY YAY YAY! :) High fives to the fabulous WISCONSIN BRIDE for being so rad to publish it! Do you remember the AHHH-MAAZING Colleen and Brian from last year, well…their wedding was off the charts great and I couldn’t have asked for a better wedding to “show off” in the WI Bride mag.
Now, if you don’t read MN or WI BRIDE blog often, ya should. They have rad local resources with fabulous finds, photographers, wedding ideas, shoots, etc, etc, etc…….bookmark them and check on them weekly! K? K! :)
OH—and race out to newsstands and buy the latest issue. It’s chalk full of greatness! :)
Now, off to go have a drink in the sun to celebrate! :) YAY!
Audrey and Aaron fit each other to a tea!!!! I have never met a couple that has so much spark and energy when I am around…Aaron can make Audrey laugh like no one I have ever seen before and gosh, are they cute together. :) I have never laughed so hard during a ceremony because their personalities just lit up the room…….Audrey was the most beautiful bride EVER and she literally giggled the ENTIRE time because she was SO SO excited to be marrying the man of her dreams! :)
Their wedding was FILLED with friends and families that cried happy tears and danced the night away……their ceremony site was perfect and simple and their reception was the gateway to a fabulous evening for family and friends! HONESTLY, this is an Illinois wedding I would travel to over and over! :)
AND, the sun was RADICAL during their dinner hour so WE HAD to go out for 2 minutes and shoot some….isn’t it fabulous?!?!?! :) Perhaps Illinois can produce better golden rays than WI??!?! :)
Audrey and Aaron….you guys RULE! :)

Heather and John are the kind of people that make you a better person just for knowing them!
Granted, I only met them about 6 hours before they exchanged vows but immediately I felt like family in their amazing group of relatives and friends! :) Their charming Enchanted Barn wedding was TO DIE FOR…as you can see from some of the photos. John and Heather embody the idea of what life is all about…..easy going, full of laughter and straight up genuine! :) No crazies, no crabbies…..just sweet and simple. And that is why I fell head over heals for them and their beautiful love.
Their story is amazing. I had tears in my eyes from the moment I started chatting with Heather at the salon on Saturday morning. John and Heather share a story that is bittersweet…..they met through John’s sister, Jessie, who was Heather’s BFF in college. Since Jessie lost her life from cancer last year they creatively tied in many MANY things to remember and toast to the reason they found each other in this crazy world. From her initials embroidered on the train of Heather’s dress, to listening to a recorded song sung by Jessie at the ceremony and taking a shot of tequila during the toasts to remember such an inspiration in their relationship! It was FABULOUS and inspiring to say the least! :)
The Enchanted Barn is nestled in the rolling hills of Wisconsin and couldn’t be more perfect for a fun-loving, easy going, head over heels in love couple. The day was PERFECT to the core! :) :) :)
