“If the sky, that we look upon, should tumble and fall, Or the mountains, should crumble, to the sea I won't cry, I won't cry, no-no-no I won't shed a tear Just as long, as you stand, by me.”

Every wedding this year has been just like a fairy tale and I count myself so lucky that my couples have entrusted me to help tell that fairy tale through portraits!! Emily and Bryce’s wedding was no exception, every little detail was so classic and elegant, and timeless, I would shoot their wedding day over and over because they are such a dream to work with!

As they both got ready on Saturday surrounded by those closest to them you could just feel the love that everyone around them had for this couple and how much support they had from everyone!

They had a wonderful ceremony at St. Mary’s encouraging them to look to God to direct their steps and keep him as the center of their relationship! I don’t think there was a dry eye as Emily came down the aisle, she made such a beautiful bride!!

After the ceremony, we went and explored Delefied for portraits and had just the most beautiful weather downtown and at Liberty Park!

When it came time to join the reception we were greeted by more and more loving family and friends, truly the best atmosphere for celebrating!!

Emily and Bryce we wish you all the best on your next big adventure together and cannot wait to see all of the amazing things you will do together as the new Mr. & Mrs. Texeira!!

“Like when I close my eyes and don't even care if anyone sees me dancing. Like I can fly and don't even think of touching the ground. Like a heartbeat skip, like an open page. Like a one-way trip on an aeroplane. It's the way that I feel when I'm with you, brand new” - Ben Rector

Sam and Derek are the kind of couple that quickly feel like long-time friends. Throughout the wedding planning process several times we would get to talking and I would forget we were together to talk about the wedding timeline and not just catching up! They are such amazing individuals and even more special together as a team!

Their wedding day on Saturday began and ended at the beautiful Sepia Chapel in Two Rivers Wisconsin! The ceremony was beautifully decorated and wonderfully performed by Sam’s Aunt, with the help of a ring-warming ceremony and a poem read by a friend! They danced down the aisle to one of my favorite songs, Brand New by Ben Rector and it made me tear up seeing how happy they were at the very beginning of a whole new adventure as husband and wife!

We had a fun cocktail hour at Cool City Brewing and some beautiful Bride & Groom Portraits down along the lakefront before heading back to Sepia to dance the night away at the reception! I do have to say their family really knows how to groove, I loved watching them dance and have a good time!

Congratulations to the newly weds and thank you so much for the honor of being your photographer! I loved everything about your day and I wish you nothing but all the happiness in the world!
