FRIDAY FRAMES| BRIDES SPEAK | WISCONSIN BARN PHOTOGRAPHER

My Friday Frames inspiration this week came right from the mouths of a bride on her wedding day, and a bride to be at her engagement session. I thought what they said was a light bulb moment and really wanted to share with all of you (especially brides to be!) 

"yeah, it's funny when your planning your wedding it seems like you really need all those shots {on a pre-planned shot list from the internet} but come the day of all that really matters is the candid, real moments that are happening all around us" ~Sarah Knudtson married 6/21/15



"I made this skirt because I figured this is our one chance to show our personalities, I wanted something really fun that stood out, I think it's really a give and take with couples and photographers, you get out what you put into it. Good photos don't just happen. I feel a lot of good energy here" ~Maggie to be wed 8/30/14





I also read this article that had so much "ah-ha" moments for brides to be booking a wedding photographer, I think its a really great piece of information, sit down and have a read with coffee! Click this link >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Wedding Photographer Myths and how to NOT brief your photographer

Ashley & Frank's Charming Family Farm Wedding | Viroqua Barn Wedding | Farm Wedding Photographer

I think I sound like a broken record when I say "I have the best clients" but I don't care because it's true. The most amazing people find me to document they wedding days and I couldn't be happier about it.

Ashley and Frank are among those amazing people. A forecast of non-stop rain, a muddy dress and wet chairs would normally discourage a couples spirit on their wedding day. Ashley & Frank chose to embrace what they were given and their family and friends followed suit. They even continued their outdoor ceremony, rain or shine. I love their spirit and the positive energy that they put out into our universe. It ended up being one of the most captivating weddings I have ever been a part of.
Ashley is also an amazing Minneapolis photographer check her out! Ashley Miller Photography it's always a huge honor to be hired by a fellow photographer. Thank You Ashley & Frank, for an amazing day and inspiring me to always be positive!

The Barn at Harvest Moon Pond Wedding | Rachel and Jared | Poynette WI Wedding Photographer

Rachel was referred to me by my March bride, Ashley.  We met over lunch one day and I immediatley knew I wanted to work with her. I was overjoyed when she decided to book me for her wedding.  Then at the engagement session I met Jared, her perfect match. The sweetest couple ever who are so genuine and really fun to be around. They really "get it" when it comes to weddings. Plus, I could never get enough of The Barn at Harvest Moon Pond. Needless to say their wedding was beautiful and a dream job for me.  A beautiful venue, amazing bride and groom, her dress, and a super fun wedding party makes my job the best. I couldn't be happier with this day! Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Miller!


The happy couple went flea marketing for mismatched beer glasses, mugs and wine glasses for their guests to choose from! Love this idea. I actually scored a wine glass from Burr Oak Winery where I got married! How meant to be is that?! Rachel was breathtaking, her dress was perfection and I love how she didn't let her bridesmaids see it until she was in it. That reaction is classic! If you can hold out, don't let everyone see your dress beforehand, what a moment.
