Chemistry & Cheesecake. These two things are just a small part of what makes Jena & Joe the sweet, thoughtful couple that they are. Leading up to their first look, both Jena & Joe were completely at ease and happily soaking up every moment. Once Jena made her way into Joe’s arms, their eyes told the entire story of how full their hearts were feeling. This was the start of an incredible wedding day, and we are so excited to share Jena & Joe’s images with you!
A perfect fall day, dozens of DIY touches, an awesome bridal party, and a band that drew everyone to the dance floor instantly proved to be all of the proper ingredients for a rustic, comfortable wedding day at one of Wausau’s most unique venues. With chalkboard signs, specially carved pumpkins and lanterns, Jena & Joe planned a celebration that welcomed their guests from the moment they got out of their vehicles! We had an absolute blast photographing all of their wedding details, and even more than that we reveled in the amount of portrait time we had with the two of them. We captured them laughing at each other, being adorable and simply relaxing in one another’s arms at sunset. Creating beautiful photographs with Jena & Joe just came so naturally.
Jena & Joe, thank you so much for inviting us into your wedding day and treating us like friends. We have never met a couple whose humor, optimism and sense of adventure is so vibrant, and are so grateful to have documented your love!
