ben & paige

It has always been my experience that good things happen in July. Summer is in full swing, there's enough time before school starts that you feel like you can really relax, and some of the most beautiful summer light is to be had, and Saturday was no exception. I wait all year long for the summer sunshine like we had on Saturday because frankly there's nothing quite like it! I am in love with all of Ben & Paige's portraits from Saturday and ever since their same day slide show at the reception I have been dying to share them with all of you!

Saturday's wedding may have been a little warm but they had a beautiful ceremony outside given by one of their dear friends. I loved that the guests blew bubbles while they recessed back down the aisle as husband and wife.

We were able to use Laak's as the backdrop for a lot of our shots, their beautiful riverfront property was perfect. However, we were also able to use River Park in Falls to capture some more amazing portraits.

Ben & Paige are one of the nicest couples you will ever meet! They meet in high school and have been together ever since and their love for each other shines through in everything they do! Thank you Ben & Paige for asking me to be a part of your wedding day, it was truly a blessing and an honor to document this day for you!

“From the first day that I saw your smiling face, Honey, I knew that we would be together forever.”

This seemed like the perfect quote to use for Nicole and Josh’s blog post. Not only because it’s from a Backstreet Boys song, one of Nicole’s favorites bands, but because it is also true for the two of them! Ladies, if you haven't already, I hope that all of you find someone who looks at you the way Josh looks at Nicole, with the utmost love and respect!

Over the past few months of planning their big day, it is evident how much these two mean to each other. Capturing that on Saturday was such an honor for me. Both of their families were so welcoming and kind that by the end of the night I felt like one of the gang! I especially love Nicole’s love for the Minnesota Vikings, her home team, and Josh’s love for the Packers, his home team, it made for some great jokes these past few months!

Nicole and Josh’s wedding day was held at the beautiful Aud Mar Banquet Hall on Little Muskego Lake. What a perfect setting for such a perfect day. From the beautiful ceremony space, to the lovely pontoon ride before dinner, to the amazing food, everything was off the charts!

Congratulations to the new Mr. & Mrs. Harris! Thank you for giving me this opportunity to document your wedding day, it was truly a blessing! I wish you many years of wedded bliss together! Skol Vikings and Go Pack Go!
