Travis & Andrea | WI Dells, WI Wedding Photography

One of the first things I noticed about Andrea was her outlook on a wedding. It was the exact same as mine. We share the same mind-set, wedding should be about the couple, you should have it look the way YOU (the bride or groom) want it to look. What I mean by that is Andrea (and I) have a strong standpoint and it's "I know what I want" Andrea knew the type dress she wanted, the flowers, centerpieces, photographers, vendors, venue, etc. In NO way do I mean bridezilla here, she was the exact opposite actually. The wedding was very laid back, they had a first look before the ceremony, no garder toss or bouquet toss, no stuffy traditions, It was all about Andrea and Travis and the closest people to them. I loved every minute of it.

I also loved the fact that Andrea opted to hire both Krystal Muellenberg and I as primary shooters,which means Krystal and I came up with a package to split, we shared the work of the day, formals, different points of view, different ideas, different lenses, different location ideas. One photographer can't be everywhere at once, and yes we hire second shooters to assist but the difference here is no one was in the background, the couple will get the full day of photos from EACH of us, Andrea will get a album with our combined photos. Although Krystal and I have similary styles and like the same things, we of course have different perspectives. We work well together and I am totally 100% spoiled now and want to shoot every wedding together! We are offering joint packages in 2012 for a limited number of fabulous, unique weddings please contact me for details and be sure to check out Krystal's point of view of The Wertz Wedding.




Dress and Shoes


Cannot get enough of the dress and shoes


Andrea also had the best hairdresser ever, Callie from Elements Spa & Salon



Gifts to remember




I knew Andrea was beautiful, as a bride with the hair, the dress, the smile, Andrea was stunning, and yes, those are raindrops, she is a stunning,rebel bride!


Andrea & Travis opted for a "first look" which Krystal and I welcomed. I'd like to use Travis as an example of why first looks are amazing.


For those of you with mixed feelings about the first look, Travis did get emotional and then he could hug and kiss his bride, they had a moment that you do not get at the alter. Grooms react better in fact when they are alone and we can get way better photos of the reaction than we can when they are standing at the end of the aisle


We also have time for a few intimate photos before your guests grab you after the ceremony!


Here comes the bride



The storm passed and Andrea's outdoor wedding came true.




Loved the bridesmaids dresses...LOVED.



One of my all time favorite wedding party photos.



Andrea literally said "I'll lay down and roll around on the ground if you want me to" and Travis was the perfect and cooperative groom.
