This wedding was nothing short of incredible!! Sarah and Michael were one of the first weddings to take place at Bavaria Down’s newest venue, Equestria West. When they toured the venue they felt inspired by the courtyard area and decided to have the reception outside under string lights. It turned out BEAUTIFUL and the only way to truly give the design justice was to photograph it from the sky. I love being able to utilize my drone and showcase a wedding day from a different perspective. Aside from the uniqueness of the courtyard reception, the details of this wedding were impeccable. From the ceremony in a wooded forest, to the velvet table numbers, everything was perfection.

The way that I adored this wedding!!! Sam and Michael found me on Instagram and trusted me with photographing their wedding and engagement photos in two different cities that I’m not familiar with. Both exceeded my expectations ten fold! They did their engagement session in the north suburbs of Chicago (peep their engagement blog here!) […]

Kayla and Chase radiate joy and happiness and this wedding was the perfect showcase of their energy! Try to look through these photos and not smile. It’s impossible! Their wedding was at the beautiful Willow Brooke Farm in Red Wing and we had the perfect summer day. During the planning process they made it clear that they wanted to focus their day on spending time with their people and for candid moments to shine, hoping to omit any formal photos. The photos you see of the groomsman, bridesmaids and full bridal party were each taken in 5 minutes. Can you believe it!? When you have that much natural energy and joy, candid and fun prompts can lead to some of the most amazing still shots. They truly got to spend the majority of their day with their guests, family and friends.
