Tara + Josh are the cutest high-school sweethearts. See, they’ve been planning this day for quite some time and it all came together just so beautifully. I know, I know I say that every time I post a wedding but there is just something so unique about each couple and the love that they share for each other and you can see it shine through. Tara & Josh’s day was nothing short of the pretty Bloomer summer wedding that they had in mind filled with babies breath, hydrangeas, navy, gray and little pops of yellow here and there. They even incorporated lovely mason jars filled with lemons on each of their reception tables and it was just downright pretty.
I had so many favorites from their day, so I’m going to share a few! Lots of laughter during their beautiful ceremony at St. John’s Lutheran Church in Bloomer, that Tara & Josh didn’t let the rain but it was that Tara + Josh and wind dampen their day, we did ALL of their family and bridal party portraits outside (even though they got married in a church), we shot at my FAVORITE Bloomer location (where I had my wedding pictures done), and the fact that we were able to shoot on the roof of the Bloomer Brewery! I’m sure there are more that I’m forgetting, because it was just an all-around wonderful day for these two to celebrate their love for each other.
I won’t let the words get in the way any longer, and I’ll let you feast your eyes on the fun that was had all around Bloomer this past Saturday surrounded by friends and family from near and far. Thank you for allowing me to capture your day, it was one of the most fun weddings I’ve had the pleasure to photograph in a really long time! Congratulations and best wishes to you both!
There was a bit of speculation as to just exactly how they were going to get Tara’s dress over her hair, and it was a VICTORY!
Tara & Josh opted for a First Look!

I’m on a mission to craft personalized sessions for small businesses and high school seniors looking to tell their story.
The best decision I ever made was packing up my car and heading west to finally pursue photography! That decision allowed me to spend the next 15 years capturing life’s fleeting moments.
But the journey is bigger than that. My work isn’t just about capturing a beautiful photo, it’s about changing the perspective, helping others see what true beauty is.
It would be an honor to have you along for the ride!
