BACKYARD WAUSAU WEDDING ON FILM | ROBIN & JOHN!

Robin & John's wedding day was more beautiful than any words we could possibly use to describe it. In every direction, faces were smiling, friends & family were giving one another huge hugs & warm embraces, and the most heartwarming wedding day was being celebrated! Robin & John's gorgeous home and property on Wausau's West side served as the perfect backdrop for their wedding day. What better place to promise all your days to the one you love than your very own yard, surrounded by everyone you adore?

Randy and his amazing Evolutions in Design team played the role of wedding planner, stylist, coordinator, and of course, florist. Every inch of Robin & John's property was adorned with beautiful blooms, sweet treats, and cozy gathering spaces for their wonderful guests. After a delicious meal prepared by one of Wausau's finest, Michaels, the dance floor filled quickly and Stoney Acres Farm began preparations for mouth-watering late night brick-oven style pizzas on the patio!

Words cannot express how grateful we are for being invited into this family's celebration. The impression this family leaves with you is one of warmth, happiness, and love. Robin & John, thank you so very much for the absolute privilege of photographing your celebration!

MUNSON BRIDGE WINERY WEDDING | LAURIE & MARK!

Laurie & Mark's wedding at  Munson Bridge Winery was the joining of two sweet families. The anticipation & energy that surrounded Laurie & her daughters as they put the final touches on their make-up and slipped into lovely, vibrant gowns was only fitting for all of the hands-on planning they had put into this day!! After an emotional ceremony in the winery's gorgeous red barn, their closest friends & family enjoyed an authentic Swedish & German "smorgasbord" and couldn't WAIT to get onto the dance floor afterwards! Seriously, we were blown away and completely energized by the pure joy their guests showed on the dance floor!!

From the personalized ties and chalkboard signs that Laurie created to Evolution in Design's STUNNING florals, Laurie & Mark's vision for their wedding day was 100% them – vibrant, colorful, and SO happy!! Thank you both for the giant honor of capturing your celebration. We feel so lucky to have been a part of your wedding!

VIBRANT RIB MOUNTAIN WEDDING | JAMIE & EVAN!

Jamie & Evan are two of the HAPPIEST people we've ever had the privilege of photographing!! The giant smiles and laughs that continuously crept across their faces were completely contagious, and the style they brought to their wedding day was incomparable. How amazing is Jamie's BHLDN gown!! :)

After a sunny ceremony atop Rib Mountain with a beautiful view of our cute little city, we all wiggled down to the Sundance Chalet for an evening filled with dancing, yard games, and BUBBLES! Randy of Evolutions in Design created vibrant, artful bouquets for all of the ladies to carry and Bob Holl kept the dance floor jam-packed all night long!! As you might have noticed from all of the joyful faces in these images, to say that Jamie & Evan's wedding day was filled with fun wouldn't touch the tip of how energizing and AWESOME their celebration truly was!

LAKESIDE WISCONSIN WEDDING | STACEY & MAX!

Stacey & Max dreamed of having their wedding on a gorgeous day by the lake at Stacey parents' cabin in Western Wisconsin. Mother Nature delivered, and then some! After a beautiful and sunny day, the skies opened up during Stacey and Max's first dance and went into all out downpour for Stacey's first dance with her father. But NO amount of rain was going to keep their guests off of the dance floor! And once the pouring affected the sound system, into the lake they went!! Stacey & Max's wedding day was an all out celebration, and a team effort! From groomsman brewing all the beer for the wedding themselves (and designing custom labels) to a great friend becoming ordained to marry them, and then heaps of guests mopping the dance floor right before the first dance so that S&M could kick off the rain dancing – their wedding was truly remarkable!

To say there were personal touches everywhere you turned would be an understatement. More than a dozen of Max's friends from the University of Wisconsin - Eau Claire revisited their roles as the Singing Statesmen along with Max himself, for a performance during the ceremony! Stacey's dress was hand made by her mom – not to mention all of the bridesmaid dresses and centerpieces as well!

It truly was a magical scene watching Stacey & Max dance together for the first time as husband & wife while the skies literally poured on them. The sun shining through the trees at the same time seemed to bring the magic to life. And apparently the energy that moment created was enough for a dozen guests to conclude that it was absolutely OK to jump off the dock in their shiniest outfits. :)

Stacey & Max, we truly feel SO lucky to have been a part of your day! It was an experience that we won't soon forget — and to us, that's all one can hope for when planning their wedding. An unforgettable day.
