Our morning started with the guys.. Doesn't he make a handsome groom? Making that tux look good :)
Amber got a gorgeous wedding dress from Vera's House of Bridals.

Looks like everything is just starting to sink in.. Love the morning light on the bride's face.
The lovely ladies looking beautiful.
Amber looks amazing---and ready to meet her groom.
Love these sweet moments during the first-look.
We stepped into the bar area at Merrill and Houston's inside of the Ironworks Hotel for a few portraits with just the bride and groom.
How sweet are these two.
The ring bearer and flower girl were a couple of cuties
Love the room set up for the reception at the Ironworks Hotel.
Cake by Patricia's Patisserie yum
Flowers from Dana's Gifts.
It was pure magic in March when we stepped out for the last few moments on sunlight along the riverwalk of the Rock River.
Sunset was fleeting but I am so glad we were able to step outside for a few moments for fun and pictures--and video.. we got video coming for these guys!!

Dedicated dance floor selfie (Velfie? since it was video) These guys were ready to celebrate with the newlyweds.
We ended the evening with a few moments off the back patio at the Ironworks Hotel. We walked down the path to where we overlooked the gorgeous lights of the Spine outside of the Irontek Building---which happens to be where our office is located. Love our little town of Beloit.

Grand Geneva Resort Wedding Lake Geneva WI | Haley + Josh
Haley and Josh were married this weekend at the Grand Geneva Resort in Lake Geneva WI. It was a gorgeous day and Haley was a gorgeous bride. The Grand Geneva was an amazing backdrop for these two to start their journey together as husband and wife.
To anyone out there who is already married, or been in a wedding, you know---there are always a few hitches---to getting hitched :) For Haley and Josh---we were missing the groom's suit. Don't get too worried, his suit did get rushed there in time for the ceremony, but we made the most of it with a few casual pictures with the guys that morning.
We made our way over to the ladies and Haley was anxious to get the day started. The trees were blooming just outside her room, so we had to take advantage of the gorgeous scenery.
Who doesn't wish they were born with those amazing lashes?!? If you want these amazing lashes--see Brittney and Indira Salon in Janesville.
Love the moment when the bride's mother and bridesmaids see Haley for the first time. Their reaction is priceless.
Haley and Josh share a moment together before the ceremony where they didn't actually see each other. They exchanged letters under the gorgeous flowering trees.
The ceremony space overlooked the water and had a sweeping view of the golf course. We couldn't have asked for better weather. Haley was beaming as she came down the isle.
How amazing is that view where they said I DO :)
There were so many beautiful places around the grounds of the resort. We blew bubbles by the fountain, we hopped on the trolly and even zipped around on an golf cart.
The absolute joy was wonderful to see. Love the Trolly too :)
And off with the newlyweds.. So sweet.
What a perfect spring day with a field of tulips.
The reception was at the Mountain Top in the Chalet. The walls of windows let the sunset spill in as the speeches cake and dances took place.
This was the cake smash to end all cake smashes. They went all out---it was hilarious. It ended in a sugary kiss and then off to get cleaned up.
Love the sunset in the background of their first dances.
They danced into the night and enjoyed a few moments by the fire pit as well.
Congratulations Haley and Josh! All the best to your family and your future together :)

Smiles Through the Tears Waupun Wisconsin Wedding | Emily + Tyler
There were tears of sadness and tears of joy this weekend as Emily and Tyler said "I do." It was Brenton and I's third trip to Waupun to celebrate with many familiar faces, but this time was different. Since Hollie and Arnie's wedding last September, Hollie and Tyler's father had passed. His absence left hearts heavy, but the joy of new love and new life brought smiles through the tears. A bridesmaid who was pregnant at the first wedding now has beautiful happy baby girl. Brenton and I are honored to be welcomed back to Waupun. Photography is a job that we both have a lot of fun with, but we are too often reminded of just how important it is. I couldn't help but tear up when they played a slideshow at the reception with a portion dedicated to Tyler's father. I recently had an aunt taken too early by cancer. It is a heavy hurt that came back to the surface during the slideshow, but I couldn't help but feel proud of a job well done when I saw a number of pictures that we took at Hollie and Arnie's wedding made the slideshow. They were pictures that Brenton and I took. They were sharp, they were vibrant, they were well executed--and now they are priceless. They weren't the epic sunset pictures or a big dip kiss with the cheering wedding party----they were the quiet moments with dad and they were the family pictures. The family pictures that nobody is very excited about, but we know are important so we take the time to do them well.
Thank you all for welcoming Brenton and I back to Waupun. We are honored to come back.---and Congratulations Emily and Tyler!!! We are so happy for you both :)
On to some happy pictures...
Emily got ready at her and Tyler's new home. It was a gorgeous summer day in May---and Emily looked amazing.
Emily looks absolutely amazing. That smile says it all :)
We met up with Tyler at a nearby park. He was looking sharp waiting for Emily to arrive.
Emily and Tyler's moment together when they saw each other for the first time was so sweet. :)
How excited and happy are these two :)
We met up with the rest of the group at the Rock River Country Club for pictures out on the golf course. This group was fun---and certainly knew the picture drill since a number of them had seen us before.
These guys are so excited to start their lives together as husband and wife.
love...
After the pictures at the park we headed to the church for the ceremony.
Love the moment of coming down the isle. All the excitement and joy on both their faces is priceless.
They did it!! Husband and Wife :)
On to the celebration at the Rock River Country Club. Love the special cake knife and forks--super cute.
These two had fun on their cake smash. :)
Emily and Tyler had a great game set up if guests wanted them to kiss. They could write a poem, sing a song, or tell a story. It was a treat every time somebody picked up the mic. Grandpa even piped up with a poem that found a way to rhyme a drink request for a dry martini :)
The slideshow brought laughs and tears. It ended on a high note and was greatly appreciated by all who watched.
We stepped outside for the bouquet toss and it was a gorgeous evening.
Guests had a laugh playing a game passing around a gift. If you had the gift you were in the hot seat to select who got it next---by way of choosing who had the biggest nose, biggest spare tire, biggest flirt----good fun and laughs all around.
The highlight of the evening was the floating lanterns. They were beautiful and a great way to remember...
From the bottom of our hearts, Brenton and I offer our deepest condolences for your loss and also many congratulations for bright future together. We are truly honored to be welcomed back.
---and will be back again in just a few weeks for another wedding :)
