Cody & Rebecca’s sunny wedding at Heidel House Resort & Spa will certainly warm you up on this chilly Friday morning!!!

The morning started off with Rebecca & her sweet bridesmaids, all surrounding Rebecca as she slipped into her wedding gown. There was so much emotion & excitement flowing through the room and everyone held back tears as Rebecca told the room “there is a specific reason you are all here with me today, you mean the world to me.” There is nothing sweeter than a room full of ladies who are there to support their best friend!! As we prepared for the ceremony, I watched the available seats FILL up quickly — the guests squished together to make room for more people and I watched as every seat soon became occupied. Doesn’t that just say something amazing about this couple?! There were SO many friends + family members who not only attended the ceremony but also traveled to support Cody & Rebecca — a true testament to who they are as individuals and as a couple.

One of my favorite parts of any wedding day is when I get to sneak off with the bride & groom for their portraits. This is usually the first time the couple has gotten “alone time” together and it’s so fun to see how they interact with each other. Watching Cody & Rebecca is like watching a love scene straight out of a movie… there is no one else in the world when they’re together and the way they zero in on each other makes their relationship so beautiful. Our portrait time together directly after the ceremony was filled with so much laughter (Becca, your laugh lights up the room!) and just when I thought the day couldn’t get ANY better, we snuck away again at sunset for lakeside pictures! For the past few weeks, Wisconsin has been rainy, cloudy + filled with mosquitos so “sunset photos” haven’t happened much but let me tell you…. we had the most beautiful sunset for Cody & Rebecca!! It was the perfect ending to an already incredible day.

Cody & Rebecca, your love was made for movie screens. Thank you for sharing your kindness, sense of humor, and passion for life with the world! I can’t wait to see what this life has in store for you next! <3
