“When I used to read fairy-tales, I fancied that kind of thing never happened, and now here I am in the middle of one!” - Alice, from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll

Once in a while you get to step into a real-life fairy tale and take in its beauty, Saturday was one of those days! Michaela and Lincoln are like a couple out of a fairy tale, they are so kind and caring and always thinking of others first, even on their own wedding day! Every aspect of their day was carefully planned out and executed beautifully!

The ceremony had some of the best music you could have, Disney music, and afterward, for their recessional, they had Death of a Bachelor by Panic! At the Disco which had quite a few people laughing! The centerpieces for the reception housed many elements that had been carefully picked and placed together and made each table unique and just like a scene out of the book! I could go on and on about more details like this but you can tell from the pictures just how much love went into this day!

Michaela and Lincoln I would shoot your wedding day over and over again. You guys are just the best and I have loved every minute of planning and shooting and laughing together!! I know the two of you will have many great adventures ahead of you and I cannot wait to see where life will lead you!

“Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life I love you more.” - The Beatles

Eric and Renee are the type of people that make you feel like you’ve been lifelong friends. I have so enjoyed getting to know them over this past year and was honored to be a part of their wedding day!

Last Fall I got a message from Eric asking about family pictures and saying that he was planning to propose to Renee during those photos. What a romantic plan! I was in love with the idea and when the day came it could not have happened more perfectly! From that moment forward we have had so much fun planning together, talking about our dogs, and becoming friends!

Saturday’s wedding was held at Renee’s parent’s church in a beautifully decorated sanctuary! During our last planning session, Eric had asked if I thought it was weird to want the theme from Jurassic Park as the music for the bridal party to walk down to and I said not at all!! It’s a beautiful piece of music and most people wouldn’t even notice. I had the biggest smile when the pianist started playing it for the bridal party, day=made! It was little touches like this throughout the entire wedding day that made it feel so much more personal and beautiful! At the reception, they had a “candy bar” for guests to enjoy which included chocolate, skittles, basically all the good candy, and also fruity rolls! Renee told me that Eric used to extra stop on his way home from work to get her bags of them just because he knew they were her favorite. <3

I could reshoot Saturday’s wedding over and over again and never get tired of the amazing people, the beautiful decorations, and all the love that made Saturday a success! Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Weyker, and in the words of Eric “May you grow old together into cute little peanuts!”
