Oh, Melanie + Chris!! I have been so anxiously waiting to post my favorites of their beautiful fall wedding, and today is the day! I knew it would be a great weekend, but I really knew after photographing their rehearsal dinner the night before just how fun + full their weekend of happiness would be. With a Wisconsin fall day in Lake Geneva as the wedding backdrop, Melanie and Chris exchanged their ‘I dos’ in Melanie’s childhood church and celebrated that night where she spent many chilly Wisconsin winters skiing at the Grand Geneva Mountain Top Chalet. SO, so cool. They filled the day with their own handmade touches including their save the dates, table numbers, wooden signs, programs, menus, candles + more. It was a perfectly perfect Midwestern wedding, filled with so much love and warm, sweet families. And did I mention the hauntingly beautiful abandoned golf course we shot at?! It. Was. Awesome. Melanie and Chris are awesome, and so are their adorable puppies Barley + Hops! SO MANY congratulations to you four!!! I loved being a part of the beginning of your life together! :)
