Wedding Party at Coachman's Golf Resort.

Getting Ready and Ceremony in Edgerton, Wisconsin

Not only was Katherine + Alden’s wedding stunning, it was also incredibly nostalgic and meaningful. I have known the bride Katherine since elementary school and the groom Alden since Jr. High. They were high school sweethearts and we all knew that someday they would be walking down the aisle. How lucky am I to be the one to capture all of their memories!

The morning started off with the bridesmaids getting ready at Katherine’s childhood home. The home we held sleepovers, birthday parties and girls days growing up. It was a slow and easy going morning, catching up with all the girls, reminiscing on high school memories and chatting about what was new in our lives. Being together again was a surreal moment.

The boys were getting ready at Coachman’s where I headed next to continue the “High School Reunion.” After hanging out with the boys Katherine and the girls showed up, Katherine looked STUNNING! The guys snuck Alden away while we got Katherine ready for the big reveal. Standing there seeing this moment play out, my heart was so happy and of course I shed a tear or two. Alden was, to say the least, impressed. The ceremony went off without a hitch even though it had been forecasted to rain, it blessedly held off through the entire ceremony.

Wedding couples first look in Edgerton, Wisconsin.

One of my favorite parts of the day was riding around on a golf cart, stopping at all the hidden gems and capturing the couple’s portraits. The sun fully came out just before the reception started, dinner was served and speeches began, which gave laughs all around. And then to the dancing, where of course you’ll find me on the dance floor. All around Katherine + Alden’s day was a beautiful, full of memories and I will always be honored to have been a part of it.
