The Chippewas Little Flower Barn Ryan & Kaylene's wedding was so much fun! Between the two of them they had all 8 of their kiddos there. I love seeing families blend together and you can feel how much they all really love each other! Kaylene had two dresses for the wedding and they were both equally beautiful and amazing. After dinner we snuck out for some sunset photos and this little pup ran up and was barking at us. His owner came out and we snapped a few pics with this crazy dog! You can.....

The Koseckis Forest Edge Banquet Center It was a warm Saturday afternoon when I joined Maddy at the salon where she was getting ready with her bridesmaids and step daughter Macey. Macey just adores Maddy and the little moments of them together are just the sweetest! Once the ceremony started Adam had the biggest smile waiting for her to walk down the aisle. My favorite part of course was sneaking these two out at sunset for a few moments where they could enjoy being married and I could snag some.....

The Kings Bell Towers Falls There is just something so magical about that evening light pouring in during sunset photos at a wedding! Mike + Sophie were so much fun and down for anything for their photos. The ones of them running together are my favorite! They were smiling ear to ear and if that's not how I spend my wedding, I'm not doing it! These two have been together for 10 years. Sophie didn't think she was going to cry but during the ceremony and first dance she had some happy tears. I lov.....

The Curle Wedding Talk about a gorgeous couple! I mean seriously! These two high school sweethearts were surrounded by a tight knit group of friends and family. Their ceremony was absolutely stunning overlooking the water at Greystone Golf Course!David was all smiles as Katie walked down the isle. I honestly think that is one of the best reactions to seeing your soon to be bride! They ended the night toasting and dancing the night away under the stars!

The Sabons I've done a lot of weddings over the past few years but this one had such a beautiful ceremony. Their paster had met with them several times before the ceremony and the stories he shared touched my heart. He spoke on the true connection and respect these two have for each other. At the reception Anthony played guitar and sang a song he had written himself to Connie. It was honestly one of those moments that you just want to stop taking photos and enjoy the moment (I didn't but was so.....

The Wards What virus? These two were thankfully still able to rock their wedding day, even in the midst of a pandemic!

Like, can you design my wedding someday? <3 <3 Joshua and Sara decided to do a first look and just hearing them read personal vows to each other was so moving ......

The way they look at each other is just pure magic! I had several people as me if they were real or models! <3 Thirdly, isn't their venue just amazing? This barn venue is less than 2 years old but its absolute pe ......
