Wisconsin Wedding Photography at the Woodfire Lodge — It felt so good to celebrate something on Saturday! Despite a tough, uncertain year, Ashley and Tyler were still able to enjoy their wedding day with their family and friends at the Woodfire Lodge in the tiny town of Brillion, Wisconsin.

There were two things I noticed immediately when I stepped out of my car for Sara and Mike’s engagement session at Horicon Marsh: Bugs and birds. And not just any birds – the red-winged blackbird.

My entire junior year of high school I couldn’t wait for senior year, and my entire senior year I couldn’t wait for graduation!
