“And I have to speculate that God Himself did make us into corresponding shapes, like puzzle pieces from the clay.” - Iron & Wine

What a way to end a season! It’s always a bittersweet ending when the wedding season comes to a close and Derrick and Alex made it especially so! I remember when I met with them for the first time I could tell that there was something special about them. The way they looked at each other, the way they laughed and supported each other, it was all so magical. I was beyond honored when they choose me as their photographer because I knew I was about to be a part of something amazing!

Saturday’s ceremony took place at the Green Bay Botanical Gardens. It is also where we did the first look and some of the bridal party portraits! During the first look, Derrick turned around he uttered the sweetest sentiment, “Wow", just wow, you look amazing”. He proceeded to utter this serval more times throughout the whole day. He was totally enamored with his bride and likewise, Alex was enamored with her groom. During the ceremony, Alex and Derrick wrote their own vows and both of them poured their heart into the words they shared. So many touching moments.

After the ceremony, we headed to Lambeau Field where the reception would take place, but first, we had to make a picture stop at Kwik Trip to get a stereotypical picture with everyone’s favorite gas station!
Getting to photograph some portraits in the Packer’s Stadium and celebrate this amazing couple in the most fantastic setting really was quite the honor and a memory that I will forever cherish!

Alex and Derrick thank you so much for letting us capture your wedding day and show the world how much love you two share for each other and for your family and your friends. I will forever remember your wedding day! Congratulations!!

“'Cause I'm on top of the world, 'ey, I'm on top of the world, 'ey, waiting on this for a while now, paying my dues to the dirt. I've been waiting to smile, 'ey, been holding it in for a while, 'ey, take it with me if I can, been dreaming of this since a child. I'm on top of the world.” - Imagine Dragons

This past weekend we had the pleasure to drive to Iowa and capture Zach’s sister’s wedding!
We had the most perfect weather and a wonderful day!

Avery and Christina’s wedding was held at a new venue in Des Moines, Magnolia Farms! They had a beautiful ceremony which included a foot washing ceremony complete with brand new shoes to wear, symbolizing the new lives they were beginning together. The reception was held inside the beautiful new barn and between the delicious food and lovely decorations and much more, it was an amazing evening.

Christina and Avery thank you for the honor of capturing your wedding day and getting to share your love story through pictures! We loved every minute and wish you all the best on this new adventure together!
