The Hidden Meadow and Barn in Pepin Wisconsin is such a breathtaking venue, and it is always such a treat to work with Angela Kissell and her team!  They did a wonderful job of hosting Chelsie and Cole’s big day, and it could not have been a more beautiful summer wedding!  The morning began in the Bridal Suite where Chelsie’s mom and bridesmaids helped her into her gorgeous Maggie Sottero dress from Vera’s.  The men prepared in the Farmhouse, and Cole couldn’t wait to see his bride.  He grinned from ear to ear as he walked down to the ceremony site, opened the large wooden doors, and was greeted by Chelsie’s beautiful smile.  The way that he looked at Chelsie throughout the day was incredible and the absolute sweetest thing!

We began portraits together throughout the grounds and it was so much fun to capture this group of family and friends!  The men were looking dapper in their suits from The Black Tux and the ladies looked gorgeous in their dresses by Birdy Grey.  The Cutting Garden provided the stunning bouquets and the soft, pastel colors were perfect for this beautiful summer wedding! The ceremony took place in the meadow where guests enjoyed the views surrounded by tall grasses and epic stained glass windows.

The reception began with speeches, and it was so much fun to hear this group’s toasts to the newlyweds!  Guests enjoyed dinner and cake from Something Sweet by Maddie Lu, followed by dancing with the talented Ever After Entertainment.  It is always so special to capture the emotions of the first dances!  We finished the evening with some breathtaking golden hour photos in the rolling hills surrounding the valley.  Chelsie and Cole, we are so happy for you and are so thankful to have been a part of your day!
