9.16.23 ~ HAMPTON RECEPTION
We had so much fun celebrating with this family! I love when couples allow me to take photos of their day. I think I get more excited then they do! There are just some photos that are a must-have at our barn! ❤️

I had the honor of doing some getting ready, impromptu shots of our 9-2-23 Wedding for Brandon& Emily Jimpkoski. Here are some photos of their day. I still can't get over their little boy and those boots!! 😍 Such a fun day with fun people!! Thank you for allowing me to take and post these 🫶

We had the most beautiful Golden Hour PROPOSAL 💍 at the barn last Sunday! We even had the honor of David with Thumb Drone Technologies come out and get some drone action of the whole thing!! I’m so happy that they allowed me to be apart of setting it up and taking some pictures. They also booked with us for next Fall!! Full circle! Definitely a first for our barn and hope it’s not the last! We are so excited for them, now bring on the wedding planning❣️🥂

And a few more …

If you’re doing a tour with me and I refer to the pavilion as the hill …. this is why 😂. Sooooooo glad it’s not “the hill” anymore!

09/06/2023

I’ve been waiting to post some of these before and after photos…. Still a ton more to post! Stay tuned….

These pictures make me so happy and proud of where we started, to where we are now. Lots of blood, sweat and tears went into this rehab. It just keeps getting better and better 🫶🏽

I still have lots of renovations planned for this fall after wedding season and I can’t wait to share that exciting news with you all!

09/06/2023

Just a couple of pictures from the back of our barn, with some of the renovations. 😍

Happy Labor Day ❣️

This is why I do, what I do—

We bust our butts around the barn through the week and even more for your events. If we’re there, we’re working, we want your day to go as smooth as possible! Oh? Your photographer can’t make last minute, I got you, just call me paparazzi! 📸 😂 We don’t want those moments missed, even if it’s just getting ready for your day!

This wedding season has truly been amazing so far! We have enjoyed meeting all the couples, along with their family and friends.

Cheers 🥂 to a continued amazing Fall wedding season!! 🍁 🍃

RareFusion Welding and Fabrication is on-site doing their thing today. My vision came to life with these fabricated hog panels, all personally made for our venue. They look amazing! Thank you Dillon for working through the long construction process, coming from Durand several times to make sure it was exactly how I envisioned and getting everything in on time! 100% recommend!!
