Living in Wisconsin means living in winter for a good chunk of the year. While most people complain that it's so cold and snowy, I say embrace it!! I love that we have all 4 seasons in Wisconsin because as a photographer I get lots of variety in backgrounds even without having to travel. Haha although you already know I do prefer to travel for my weddings :) So I wanted to show that even when it's cold and snowy, you can have a gorgeous wedding and even get gorgeous outdoor portraits!!

This styled shoot was definitely a labor of love. All of these amazing vendors braved below zero temperatures to see the vision that Kirstie and Mallory from Elevate Events created. Also have to give a shout out to Renee at Madison Wedding Flowers for cutting down her own Christmas tree to have all of the gorgeous pine! It was a crazy fun day and I just can't thank all of these amazing people enough for all of their hard work!!
