I got a phone call only a couple of weeks before Heather and Hans’ wedding from Sarah, a good friend of my wife Leah’s from college. Her sister in law Heather had just decided to get married in Wisconsin the day after a large family gathering they were having.  Heather and Hans just recently re-located to Alaska so it made more sense for them to have an intimate wedding with family. I am so glad I was available to fly out and do the photography! It was my first time to Wisconsin and it was beautiful!

Heather’s family donated a piece of beautiful prairie land in Barneveld to the Nature Conservancy a few years ago, and this is where the wedding ceremony was held. I was able to do a nice portrait session with Heather and Hans out in the fields there before the ceremony. I loved the simple beauty of this place.

I had a wonderful time with Heather and Hans’ families over the weekend – it was a very small wedding so I think I met everyone that was there. I also enjoyed some of Wisconsin’s fine beers! See more pictures in the slideshow.
