Dan and Shawna like many 2020 couples had a long journey to get to their wedding day, many unique challenges along the way made Saturday that more special. Whatever the obstacle, Dan and Shawna tackled it together, and finally on Saturday, surrounded by their closest friends and family they were able to have the wedding they had been planning since Dan popped the question! What a true honor it was to capture all of the day’s events!

Saturday brought a beautiful overcast day with the perfect lighting for each part of the day! We got to do detai shots at their beautiful reception venue, Carsons Mill in Brillion, followed by getting the bride and groom dressed and ready for their private first look! It’s always such a beautiful moment when the groom sees his bride for the first time and then again when she walks down the aisle!

Their ceremony was short and sweet and included their own vows that they wrote for each other. I love this touch on wedding days when the couple has a chance to share some words from the heart and share their promises for each other!

We explored Brillion after the ceremony for the Bridal Party portraits and Brillion did not disappoint! What fun locations we found and I am thrilled with the end result! Speeches, cake, and dancing finished off the night as everyone enjoyed the fun music and yummy cupcakes. All I have to say is those guys know how to dance, what a fun time!!

Thank you Dan and Shawna for allowing me the honor to be your wedding photographer, I have loved every moment of planning and shooting with you two! Congratulations on your marriage and may God bless you with many more to come!!
