KEWAUNEE WEDDING: DUSTIN + KRYSTINA

It was a day for recalling old memories and making new ones. Family, friends, and loved ones gathered from near and far to celebrate the love that Dustin and Krystina share. The weathermen had threatened there would be rain on this wonderful day, but there wasn't a menacing cloud in sight. The apartment at The Barn Site in Kewaunee, WI was buzzing with anticipation as the bridal party got dressed. Krystina's bridesmaids and mother were glowing as she slipped into her Stella York gown that fit her like a glove. Krystina asked her mother to tell her the story of the day she was brought home from the hospital as she was laced into her dress. Her groom-to-be, Dustin, was waiting anxiously outside the door for their "first look". 

Krystina and Dustin's wedding in Kewaunee, Wisconsin was a joyous event. They said their vows under a birch arbor that Krystina's father hand made. A light breeze blew through the trees as their friend and officiant recalled stories from the couple's journey. The beer unity ceremony was a nod to Krystina's career as a brewer for Titletown Brewing Company, where she met her maid-of-honor. A craft beer and cocktail bar awaited thirsty guests at the reception, where they were surrounded by hand picked pictures of each guest in attendance. 

One look at Krystina and Dustin, and you can see how much they adore each other. Krystina has an energy that excites everyone around her, and Dustin is only too happy to be a part of it. They are the keepers of each other's hearts, and the tenderness they share is obvious when they simply gaze at each other. Dustin and Krystina, I can't thank you enough for taking me along on this journey with you, it's been unforgettable. Cheers to life, adventure, and many more libations!

Much love and appreciation--Kate

The bridal party was gorgeous in their mismatched bridesmaids' dresses, and Krystina was absolutely stunning in her Stella York gown.

The bridesmaids rallied around Krystina inside the apartment at The Barn Site as she prepared to walk down the aisle with her father.

Krystina and Dustin, you take my breath away!

The Barn Site in Kewaunee has a rustic theme that Krystina and Dustin fully embraced for their wedding.

This adorable pet cake topper was made by the couple's sister-in-law. It was a stand-in for Krystina and Dustin's fur babies, Olive, Ranger, and Jax, who were at home during the wedding.

Krystina and Dustin were glowing during their first dance as they revealed the results of their dance lessons.

Krystina and Dustin, I wish you a life of never-ending happiness. No matter what life may throw your way, keep dancing and holding each other's hand. XOXO 

Green Bay Wedding: Lauren and Ryan

I have known Lauren for a number of years, simply because I graduated with her younger brother. While Lauren and I were just acquaintances until recently, she has always been an extremely sweet and kindhearted person. It is obvious to see why Ryan was drawn to her.

When Lauren was in high school, she worked with Ryan at one of her first jobs. She had a crush on him, but Ryan was older and in a higher position than she was. Her affections remained unknown for a number of years. After graduating high school, Lauren and Ryan were reunited. Ryan could see that Lauren had grown up and she wasn't the same 16-year-old girl he had first worked with so long ago. They hit it off and the rest is history.

The love between them is unwavering and effervescent. It seems to surround them like a gentle blanket, keeping each other close even when one is across the room. Ryan watches her adoringly, and she pulls him near as they dance. Lauren and Ryan, I wish you all the best and I hope you have never ending happiness!

Stephanie and Dalton | Their Engagement Journey

When one of my best friends, Stephanie, told me Dalton had asked her to marry him, I shrieked with happiness. We had all been waiting for this day. Steph and Dalton have been together since high school, and we have all known they would be together forever. While I've only known them since college, they're love for each other has been obvious to me from the beginning. 

Steph and Dalton are completely compatible. You can tell they've grown together and have gone through thick and thin together. They are best friends and each other's biggest fan. They may be young in years, but their love is timeless. They laugh easily together. They make those around them laugh. I wish both of you endless happiness for the rest of your years. I love you both and I'm so honored to be a part of your special journey.
