Everything about Michelle and Tanner’s wedding day was filled with joy, laughter, and so much love. From the moment I arrived at Brighton Acres in Oshkosh, WI, I could feel the excitement in the air. Their day was a beautiful family effort—everyone pitched in to bring the couple’s vision to life, from the elegant table décor to the abundant grazing table. The results were absolutely stunning!
First Looks
Michelle slipped into her wedding gown with the help of her mom, and it was such a sweet and emotional moment. The bridesmaids’ reactions during their first look at the bride were priceless. After that, Michelle shared two very special first looks—first with her dad, and then with her soon-to-be husband, Tanner. These moments were full of love and emotion and set the tone for the rest of the day.
Bridal Party
We had a blast taking bridal party photos under the towering trees at Brighton Acres. The whole crew was so fun and easygoing, and the property gave us the most perfect natural backdrops. Once we finished group shots, Michelle and Tanner stayed back for some romantic portraits together—and let me tell you, they nailed it. The love between them was so easy to capture.

The Ceremony
The ceremony was held beneath a majestic willow tree and felt like something out of a fairytale. One of the sweetest highlights was their “dog of honor,” Charlie, who proudly watched his parents say “I do.” He was truly the goodest boy and made the ceremony that much more personal and heartwarming.
Sunset Photos
After dinner and heartfelt speeches, I snuck Michelle and Tanner out for a few golden hour portraits. The sun setting behind the barn cast the most beautiful light, and we made our way around the grounds soaking it all in. It was the perfect quiet moment before the dance floor opened up.
Party Time!
Once back inside, they cut the cake, and the party really got started. One of my absolute favorite parts of the night? Tanner and his friends surprised everyone by dancing to “Taking Care of Business”—and they killed it! The energy was electric, and it was the perfect ending to a perfect day.
Michelle & Tanner, thank you so much for trusting me to document such a meaningful day in your lives. It was a true honor to be part of your celebration. Wishing you both a lifetime full of love, laughter, and dancing in the kitchen with Charlie nearby.
