M and Sara’s Intimate Fond du Lac Wedding

M and Sara have just the sweetest proposal story! M had a friend take pictures of them posing with a little whiteboard saying, "Will," "You," "Marry," and, "Me?" and was proposing with the ring in the "Marry" photo. They then used these as each of the four suits in a custom deck of cards. M stacked the deck during a game of cribbage while they were on a picnic by Lake Winnebago, and when Sara looked at her hand and saw the proposal, M pulled out the ring and got down on one knee. And full circle, since the two of them got engaged by Lake WInnebago, that's where they decided to have their wedding!

Sara and M's day started with the two of them getting ready at Hotel Retlaw in Fond du Lac, WI where our photographer Sarah captured all the excitement leading up to their romantic First Look. We adore their reactions to seeing each other all dressed up for their wedding!

Afterward, they captured some portraits at the picturesque hotel before heading to their gorgeous naturey ceremony location, Lakeside Park, photographing some more on the lovely covered bridge and around the park. Soon it was time for their ceremony, and it perfectly symbolized their story, love and commitment to each other, with their loved-ones playing a role in their handfasting as well. The day concluded with some scenic photos with the Fountain Island Gazebos and the shimmering lake.

Congratulations, Sara and M! We're so happy for you and honored that we could be your photographer.
