The Willers | Baraboo Wedding Photographer

Oh The Willers, how I love thee. Seriously Mark and Rachel are amazing people, genuinely thoughtful, sweet and absolutely wonderful. Their wedding was all of that and more. It was perfect. If I had to describe it in 3 words they would be romantic, lovely, perfect. one of my favorite things about Mark and Rachel's day is that it felt like a wedding. The weather was gorgeous, Rachel and Mark were more excited than nervous, and everything went so smoothly. I am so happy for them and so happy and honored to be at this wedding and so honored to be joined by my dear friend Krystal Muellenberg and Amanda Crowe Photography. Please be sure to check out their sites to see their view of The Willer's day. For future brides Krystal & I are teaming up for joint weddings in 2012, be sure to contact me for details.


As I said I am posting smaller posts for time reasons, yes..this is condensed since I took a bagillion photos. Check out Rachel's details, I think she should be an editor for Brides magazine, and for that allow me to highlight a few wedding pointers from Rachel.


On to the pictures, first The DRESS, The DRESS, The DRESS!!! Honestly one of if not my very favorite dress to photograph, it was different, it had movement, it looks incredible on Rachel.





This hanger is adorable, much better than the white plastic ones :)



window light, please always get ready by a window





I may or may not have taken way too many photos of Rachel in the bridal suite, remember this is condensed!


Flowers ARE important. I'm not a big gardener or flower person but take it from me real, beautiful bouquet arrangement do make a difference. Rachel happened to pick one of my very favorite flowers the ranunculus.


Bridesmaids dresses from J.crew, the fabric, the colors, the styles are amazing, totally modern take on the bridesmaids dress.




I *heart* this color combo



Rachel stayed hidden before the ceremony even from her mom,dad, and future in-laws which was so adorable when they seen her.



LOVED the confetti, except I think Rachel got some in her eyes


If we don't have fields, give me alleys and brick walls.



inspired by the maid of honors super urban cool look






I like to play with light (sun) sometimes I win, sometimes I lose, sometimes I get lucky.


Rachel and Mark understand what it takes to get great photos, time and cooperation, Rachel sat in her dress and it was FULL of grass, sticks and bugs....can you see them? I rest my case.


We traveled to a new location with a rustic old barn, it was breathtaking




Best time of day for photos, Rachel and Mark gave us 2 full hours




Their reception was so lovely, check out Rachel's simple details that made a big impact




The speeches were so heartfelt, Mark carried a matchbox car around so much as a child his dad said "you'll have that matchbox at your wedding"....sure enough.


The first photo is of the grandparents who won the "anniversary dance" I promised I would remember how many years but I doubt I am correct (57?) anyway I just know Rachel and Mark will be winning this dance in years to come.




Rachel and Mark's wedding is the reason I do weddings or any type of photography. They gave me butterflies and brought out that passion in photos I love so much. They need no direction in these photos, these are simply Rachel and Mark in love. Wonderful photos come from both photographer and subject.
