Our 2022 wedding season started on Saturday and what a way to begin! Aaron and Greta’s wedding day was absolutely beautiful and such a joy to capture.

I met Great and Aaron when I did Greta’s Senior Portraits a few years back. Greta is such a sweet young lady and has just about the biggest smile and can light up any room with her laugh! Aaron had come along to help and jump into a few pictures and right away I could tell they were in love. That is a rare thing in high school, to be in love that young but I think I picked up on it because just like them I had been in love with my high school sweetheart. After they got engaged and asked me if I would be their photographer again for another momentous occasion in their life, I jumped at the chance!

Fast-forward to Saturday and the most beautiful day of their lives so far. Every detail was so thoughtfully planned out and executed, it was so special to be able to capture all of it!
They had a lovely ceremony at their home church in Cedar Grove. As Greta walked down the aisle I don’t think there was a dry eye in the sanctuary, she was so beautiful!

After the ceremony, we headed out for portraits in Plymouth. Thankfully the rain held off long enough for us to get some lovely shots and then we even got a sunset despite the overcast and cloudy day we had. I think Greta and Aaron had just about the best grand march we’ve ever captured, that flip over the shoulder was spectacular!

Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Eichmeier! Thank you for letting us come and be a part of your beautiful day! I pray the Lord would bless both of you as you start this new chapter of your life together!!

Getting to photograph my brother’s wedding on Saturday was one of the happiest things I have ever done! It was such an honor to stand beside Dan and Stephnie on such a beautiful day and to capture their smiles and laughter and each perfect moment! I still remember the first time I met Stephanie and Analia, I remember thinking to myself, this is it. This is who Dan is going to marry! They complete each other so perfectly and the joy that Analia brings to Dan’s life is unmeasurable! Seeing their relationship grow over the last few years has been amazing and I could not be happier for their new family!!

Saturday’s ceremony was so beautiful! I cried before I even walked down the aisle! Between the wonderful homily shared, the planned ring mix-up, and Dan writing “Help Me” on the bottom of his shoes, it was one of the most fun ceremonies I’ve witnessed!! Plus I don’t think there was a dry eye in the church when Dan gave Analia her own special necklace to remember the promises made that day!

After the ceremony, we headed off to the Walderhaus in Kohler for our portraits!! At this point, I need to recognize and thank the wonderful Sylvia of Sylvia Damaris Photography & Design! She was our associate shooter of the day and helped with shooting the ceremony and bridal party portraits so that I could participate and be part of the fun! She did such a wonderful job and we had a great time!!

We then proceeded to dinner and dancing and enjoying the rest of the night at The Village at 170. Zach and I had our reception there 5 years ago and it was so fun to be back for another chapter of our family’s wedding history!! From the Hamster Dance to icing Dan for the garter toss, cigars, sparklers, and everything in-between it was a night to remember and one that will not be easily forgotten!!

Dan and Stephanie, you had an incredible wedding day and I am so honored that we got to be there not only to stand beside you but to capture the moments as they happened!! I pray that God would continue to bless your family as you begin this new chapter and I hope you know how much Zach and I love you guys!!
