September is proving to be a popular month for weddings and honestly, it makes sense! We’ve had the most amazing weather this month and the leaves have already started changing colors here in Wisconsin! Ben & Stephanie’s wedding at Elmbrook Church showcased some of the beautiful fall color we’ve been experiencing!

Ben & Stephanie have been together for close to a decade so you can imagine the amount of anticipation surrounding this day! I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it a thousand times again but I LOVE when my couples decide to do a first-look before they walk down the aisle. Not only does it relieve some of those pre-ceremony nerves but the amount of emotion that can be captured in a split-second is always so amazing to have preserved for a lifetime <3 Stephanie & Ben decided at the very last minute that they wanted to share a first look before they said their vows and I’m so glad they did — the sweet emotion on Ben’s face is priceless!

As the wedding day progressed, I learned that Ben & Stephanie were not done with their surprises! During the grand march, the entire wedding party walked in to Andy Grammar’s “Good to Be Alive” with a choreographed dance!!! That’s right – all 10 members of the wedding party busted out their best dance moves and had the whole room on their feet.. what a fun way to start the reception!!!

Ben & Stephanie, it’s beautiful to see the life & family that you two have already built together. Congratulations on this new chapter!! xo

Stephanie’s first look with her Dad was SO sweet!
