Ashley & Tim | Married | Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin Wedding and Portrait Photographer

whew. what a crazy couple of weeks it has been!

Ashley & Tim got married.

Mike & I got married.

AND

Jesse & Liz got married.

3 weekends in a row. 

love, love, love it.

I was fortunate enough to have Mike with me at Ashley & Tim's wedding in Chippewa Falls on May 14th.

just a little bit of history here...Chippewa Falls is where Leinenkugel Beer is brewed.

and my FAVORITE beer is half of a honey wiess mixed with half of a berry wiess and a lemon. 

that, my friends makes a Honey Bear.

cue group "awwwwww"

we almost went on a tour of the Leine Lodge...but we decided to try a local restaurant called  Loopy's Grill & Saloon instead.

side note...if you are EVER in Chippewa. go to Loopy's. soooo good.

anyway,

unfortunately for us the weather was totally not cooperating on Saturday. 

cold. and rainy.

boo.

but...the best words I can ever hear any bride say is 

"It doesn't matter what its doing outside, we are getting married today!"

love. that. attitude.

we started out the day at the Garage Salon in downtown Chippewa Falls where the girls got their hair done. It was SUCH a cute salon. very vintage and adorable. 

 

 Ashley chose to wear flowers in her hair instead of a veil!

 soooo vintage and adorable.

after that we the girls went to get their makeup done while Mike and I went to scope out the church and some other places for photos...that is if the rain would have stopped. 

 what an amazing old church, huh?! I LOOOOVE old churches like this one. there is just so much character to them.

We met back up with both the guys and gals soon after that. Mike stayed with the guys in the church while I went over to the school next to the church with the gals. 

 Ashley's dress was gorgeous!

and so were the flowers...I just love the way the pink colors pop out! it was a super fun detail to make the dreary day that much brighter.

soon it was time to hustle over to the church where the ceremony took place. 

 I think they are excited :D 

husband and wife!!

after the ceremony we attempted to take some portraits outside at Irvine Park. unfortunately the rain started back up again so we were only able to take a few before heading back onto the party bus.

after that we headed to the reception. where we got some great detail shots and some shots of just Ashely and Tim.

after that it was time for some yummy food and dancing the night away!

 first dance...complete with twirls, dips and kisses.

let me just tell you...these people know how to bust a move! loved all of the dancing!

Ashely and Tim, congratulations on your marriage! It was such a pleasure to work with you!! We wish you the best of luck!

Foto Friday | Sheboygan Wedding & Portrait Photorapher

ok, so I am behind on foto friday.

BUT! I have good reasons....

1. last week friday mike and I went a on road trip to Chippewa Falls so that we could photograph Ashely & Tim's wedding

and...

2. I am getting married TOMORROW! 

I can't believe that our wedding is finally here.

I feel like it has taken forever and like the past year and a half has flown by.

as I sit here writing this I think of all of the things that have led us to this point. 

words can't describe how happy and excited I am.

ok...and a little nervous...

but, that is only because I keep thinking...

what if I trip?! (because I can be a clutz sometimes)

what if I say the wrong things?! (because that would be me)

minor.

and...NO...I am NOT worried about the weather.

if it rains, let it pour.

if it thunders...there better be a dang good lightening show.

if its sunny, windy, cloudy, whatever-else-the-weather-throws-out 

(heck...even SNOW!)

I don't care.

the most important thing is that we are getting married and celebrating :D

anyway...here is a little preview from Ashely & Tim's day last weekend...Enjoy!

 the salon where the girls got their hair done was SOOO cute & vintage. love it.

 the church. umm...hello?! can I pick you up and move you around so that I can always shoot here?!

these were the flowers that were in Ashley's hair...such a cute alternative to a veil!

I hope everyone has a great weekend! I will be blogging the rest of these images soon :)

Foto Friday & Monday Afternoon Ramblings | Sheboygan Wedding & Portrait Photographer

happy Monday! 

I hope you all had a great weekend.

I know I did!

well minus the fact that my allergies are in full swing :(

gee thanks pollen.

anyway...

This weekend was the 4-H Horse & Pony Quiz Bowl competition.

What the heck is quiz bowl you ask?!

well, the easiest way to explain it is that it is like jeporday. 

with horse questions.

for kids in grades 3-13.

I coach the begginers...which is grades 3-5.

most of the time its fun.

sometimes not so much because they get squirrel-ly and slightly crazy.

especially when its a full moon.

but I gotta say that my kiddos stepped it up and really did their best this weekend.

I had 2 teams of 4 kids.

annnddddd....one team got 3rd place and the other got reserve champion (meaning 2nd)!! 

woo!! I am SOOOO proud of them! 

they did such a great job.

so all that whining they did about reading and studying paid off ;)

anyway, this (well last week's) foto friday is of some more wedding stuff

because that is coming up too!! (12 days!! :D:D)

so before all of the quiz bowl festivities started I had a whole assembly line helping me get the favors together :D

cut the ribbon, twist the bag, tie the ribbon once, put the little card on, and tie again.

125 times.

whew.

glad that is done :)

have a great week :)

this weekend is the first full wedding of the year :D

I. am. pumped. :D:D
