What. A. Weekend!
Heading into Saturday I knew Amber and Ryan’s wedding was going to be amazing but I didn’t know just how amazing until going through all of their pictures and selecting a few for this blog post!

I met Amber and Ryan two years ago at another Emile Portraits bride’s wedding and when Amber reached out asking if I was available to shoot their day I was beyond honored! The two of them are really a match made in heaven and their wedding was a great reflection of that!

All of the wedding events took place at Round Lake Farms on Saturday! It was a beautiful venue and it photographed so effortlessly! The weather was perfect for the outdoor ceremony and ensured that no one was sweating or too cold during the pictures. Truly a lovely Fall day!

Inside the venue was just as gorgeous as outside. Dinner was delicious and the tables and decorations added the elegant setting complete with a fire in the fireplace at the head table! The dance floor was promptly packed from the moment the music began and was still going strong when we left!

Amber and Ryan thank you so much for the honor of being your wedding photographers. Zach and I enjoyed every minute and wish you nothing but the best as you begin your new life together as Mr. & Mrs. Vogds!

“I get to love you, it's the best thing that I'll ever do, I get to love you, it's a promise I'm making to you. Whatever may come, your heart I will choose, forever I'm yours, forever I do, I get to love you.” - Ruelle

Jess and Evan are quite the couple! Getting to know both of them over the last few months has been such a joy! Back in October, we met them in the college town they met in and had the greatest adventure taking their engagement portraits all over La Crosse. On Saturday the adventure continued as we got to document their wedding day in all its glory!

Saturday may have been one of the hottest days of the year but on the very edge of Lake Michigan, it was truly a perfect day! Jess & Evan’s wedding at Lake Orchard Farm Retreat was everything a bride could ask for and more! A beautiful ceremony, amazing hair & makeup, some of the best-dressed people you could find, dance moves that were out of this world, and so so much more! Enjoy reliving their wedding day through the pictures below!

Congratulations you guys and thank you so much for the honor of being your photographer, Zach and I wish you nothing but the best!
