Jackie and Nick’s wedding was so much fun! Jackie is a close friend of mine, I had the pleasure of being one of of her bridemaids. She put alot of thought and planning into this day, and it definitley paid off.  Let me just start off saying that Jackie looked absolutley AMAZING!
All of the girls got ready at her house before heading over to Trapper’s Turn. The couple really personalized their day by exchanging vows on the golf course before the church ceremony. It was awesome to have an intimate ceremony before-hand. It eased everyone’s nerves and gave ample time for photos. When the bridal party was done being photographed, I grabbed my camera and I shot from the sidelines. Her main photographer was Heidi Lee Photography out of Appleton, WI. Because I wasn’t able to shoot during the church ceremony (becasue I was in the bridal party), this time in-between fulfilled my photography fix for the day:) Everything went so smoothly and the weather was perfect. 

Jackie is an interior designer and WOW, all of the little details were amazing. From the crystal wishing tree, to the personalized programs, and the vintage car the couple drove to the church in, it was flawless. Congratulations to my two close freinds, may you have a life of happiess, love and lots of babies:) Love you two! 

Jackie added the flower to her dress, which made it so custom and unique. 

This champagne came in handy for morning mimosas! 

I brought along this mirror that I found at an antique shop, it just reminded me of the vintage vibe of the whole day. 

How awesome is this car? 

On our way to Trapper’s Turn - Jackie is just glowing! 

One of my personal favorites from the day:) 

Her eyes are so beautiful and blue!! 

The crystal wishing tree was so unique and such a cool idea! 

  Jackie’s sister made the wedding cake. It was really yummy, and really pretty. 

Jackie and Nick gave scarves to all the women guests and beer mugs stuffed with chex mix to all the men as their wedding favors. 

Jackie and Nick wrote three words describing each person in their bridal party and a short paragraph about how they know each of them for the program at the church. Not a small task for 9 bridesmaids and two personal attendants. My words that Jackie chose for me were Honest, Driven and Social…describes me pretty well! 

My other favorite image from the day - it gives a feeling of simple, timeless beauty.
