Wisconsin Engagement Photos with Savannah & Tim!

Savannah and Tim invited me on their hunting property for some engagement photos! They wanted somewhere that was special to them and they love spending time together in the quiet of nature.

These two first found each other online and eventually got around to meet in person. First date was at rudies red bar and grill and they went to see Christmas lights after. The time together seemed so natural and unforced, like time flew by and before they knew it it was 4 hours later. It is so cool when you are with the right person, time speeds up around you even though with your person it seems to stand still. Tim had bought her a Irish ring with the heart to make dating official.

Tim proposed on their boat at the lake outside their home. The priest at their church started giving them pre-marriage counselling before they were engaged because he knew they were already on the road to being married. Savannah and Tim are only a few months out from their wedding day and I cannot wait!

Please enjoy a small sneak peek of their engagement session on their property in Wisconsin

Wisconsin Fall Wedding Celebration in Hayward!

Rachel and Aaron had a wedding celebration for their one year wedding anniversary at their family cabin in Wisconsin this past weekend.

This time last year they had traveled all the way to New Zealand to do a bungee jump elopement! It was an adventure of a lifetime and what an awesome way to say I do! They took the plunge literally and figuratively.

Now, on their one year anniversary, they wanted to bring their favorite people together to celebrate their marriage with a fun party!

With the leaves changing colors and the weather that feels like the start of fall, the day was wonderful in so many ways.

From first look with Rachel icing Aaron and Aaron performing a song he wrote just for his beautiful bride, to the wedding party in fall colors, yard games of Guess Who wedding party addition, and a amazing coordinated first dance, celebrating these two was the best! In addition to an exchange of rings, the couple brought in a tattoo artist to get tattoo bands on their ring fingers. Very unique!

Please enjoy Rachel & Aarons Wedding Celebration

Maidenwood Events Wedding Venue - a New Wisconsin Wedding Venue of Your Outdoor Dreams

I don’t normally get to check out new wedding venues, but when I do I take pictures!
This venue has just switched ownership to the cutest family who is excited to really make it shine.

My photographer friend Gina and I drove out to this property to explore the land and the reception area. It is a Stockholm wedding venue sitting on 40 acres of property! Being so big we drove the property on a 4 wheeler and it was awesome. So glad we went when we did because a week after this it snowed!

Here is what I think is special about this venue - THE VIEWS!
One of the ceremony spots is in a grass field with a backdrop of hills and Lake Pepin. The wedding guests have one walk to the field while the bridal party has a separate entry space to make the brides entrance that much more amazing!

The Details

Address: N447 244th St, Stockholm, WI 54769

Travel Time From the Twin Cities: 1 hr 20 mins (ish)

Website: https://maidenwoodevents.com/

Guests Count: 200

Maidenwood is booking 2021 & 2022 weddings NOW!

Or you can check them out on Instagram or Facebook!

The Main Ceremony Space!

Also known as Wedding Circle this is the ceremony space with THE view. Although friendly for ceremonies from all times of day, As you can see the sun sets right behind the hills. This spot is PERFECT for a sunset ceremony.
Although we checked out this venue in the fall, in the summer the tall grass is all green and yellow flowers.
The photo of the long walkway is where the bride will walk up to the circle!

The Reception Space

The main reception space is a white barn close to the house that fits roughly 200 guests. Although not shown here, this inside has tall ceilings and long tables great for a family style reception. The new owner of Maidenwood also has a Wedding DJ business! So you know your first dance will be a top priority as they prepare this space for upcoming weddings! The sides of this reception barn have sprawling open lawn, perfect space for cocktail hours, lawn games, and guests hangout. For colder days they even have a fire pit readily available.

The Photo Lookout

A small drive into the property will bring you to this stunning lookout. More of this session below with Kara & Jacob can be seen HERE!!!! no matter the season this is one view that will not get old. This spot is perfect for Bride and Groom portraits at sunset. The space is small enough I would not recommend more than 3 to 4 people at this location.

The Dream

It was so much fun to hear what the new owners envision for this place! It is brimming with potential. They are looking into adding additional ceremony sites on the property. One being making a ceremony spot among their pine trees. The red barn below is being considered as an indoor ceremony spot for a rainy day option.
They are considering using the house to have the mans lounge and the sun room as the girls getting ready room. They have a space above the garage they call The Nest, they are considering using as a Honeymoon suite!

The venue is perfect for Brides and Groom who love the outdoors. These guys are so excited to start serving you for your wedding day. Guess what! They are booking weddings now. You can set up a time to go see the property for yourself through their website. You can reach out HERE.
