This couple, this venue and this entire day were all just amazing. Emily and Andrew are the kind of people that you feel and instant connection with, their sincerity and kindness shine through and I was so honored to document their marriage at the beautiful Burlap and Bells in Black River Falls. They had a gorgeous outdoor ceremony under the tall white pines with the sun shining through and it was like an enchanted fairy tale in the middle of the north woods. Emily looked just stunning in her gown and Andrew couldn’t hold back his tears as she came down the isle, it was so sweet.
The touches of navy, lace and gold lent perfectly to the rustic venue…a little bit of glam, a long cathedral veil, sparkly gold clutches and one good looking wedding party made my job so much fun. It was so great that the bride and groom gave me some time after the ceremony to explore this beautiful property and capture some inspiring portraits of the two of them.
Thank you Emily and Andrew for allowing me to capture your love and I wish you both all the best – now onto the pics! There are a ton…..it was crazy hard to narrow this post down.
Love all of the gold sparkle, navy and lace and her dress….so stunning!
I think we were all in tears as she came down the isle….sweetest groom reaction ever! 
My amazing second shooter Abby captured this shot – it’s just awesome!

One of my all time favorite shots of the day! 
And then we stumbled on this awesome vintage truck….love it! 
Back at the reception tent, there were so many awesome details throughout the entire property, and LOVE the gold clutches for the bridesmaids!
The boys busting out the cigars!! It was quite comical trying to get this shot, lots of laughing and choking going on all at the same time. 
Twilight is such a magical time to shoot! 
Dancing in the moonlight!
