Sara & Nate’s wedding guest had a blast with our photo booth at Keller Golf Course. We found the perfect spot to setup our booth and Blue & Gold sequin back drop…next to the bar! Guests loved grabbing a drink and striking a pose all night long.
Sara & Nate had played a game leading up to their wedding day. Sara would show Nate various wedding dresses on her phone and ask him “Is this it?” Immediately after their first look, Nate had to know, did he see it?
The gorgeous lake side Florence Keller Regional Park was an amazing backdrop for their first look and wedding party photos. After the ceremony at Keller Golf Course we were blessed with a vibrant orange sunset we couldn’t resist.

The Terra Nue Farm is an awesome wedding venue that we had to utilize the barn as a backdrop! Anna & Cole had great guests captured some amazing memories in our photo booth.
Jack’s reaction during the first look has to be one of our favorites ever captured! His giddiness waiting, the neck breaking speeds to turn to see his beautiful bride, and his stunned reaction set the tone for an amazing day.

Trevor and Claudia is the perfect example of opposites attract. As an elementary teacher, Claudia knows how to command a room. Trevor is a man of few words. It was little surprise then during the first look that Claudia rendered Trevor speechless, and the tears started flowing.
Their ceremony was an intimate affair with their friends and family at Incarnation Catholic Church, filled with traditions from Claudia’s heritage.

Steven and Hailey had such an incredible day at Rusty's Hitchin' Post! The rustic aesthetic and Wisconsin corn fields provided the perfect backdrop for their ceremony. Steven is a man of few words, but his face said it all when the barn doors opened revealing his stunning bride during their first look.
Amy & Levi are such a fun, outdoors loving couple, and that showed with everything they had planned throughout the wedding day at Gathered Oaks. When severe weather threatened their ceremony, they didn’t shy away from their plans for an outdoor ceremony. They rented a tent and kept their timeline in tact to say their “I do’s” along the lake. Sure enough, after the ceremony got underway the rain started pouring down and even tornado sirens started to ring as they kissed. For Amy & Levi, it was the perfect way to begin their journey as husband and wife.
Amy and Levi were looking for a fun alternative to playing a photo montage during their wedding reception. We kicked around some ideas, and thought it would be fun to meet up at a park and go on and adventure. Rockville County Park and Nature Preserve was the perfect backdrop! We walked along the river bank, climbed rocks, danced in the road and ran through the prairie side.
