Hadley + Mike | B's Place, West Salem, WI


November weddings will always have a special place in my heart. I love the crisp air and the simple natural color palette, along with the fact that November is the month of my wedding anniversary!  This particular wedding was nothing short of breathtaking; a combination of exquisite details, meaningful family connections and a historic venue.  


Snuggled in the quaint downtown of West Salem, Wisconsin, B’s Place is a stunning venue full of historic charm.  With its vintage details, architecture and timeless ambiance, B’s Place was the perfect backdrop for Hadley and Mike’s wedding vision.  


From the moment I stepped into the venue, it was clear that every detail had been meticulously chosen and styled to perfection. The custom veil from LaVoile Rose, the stunning Just Leather GR shoes, the thrifted guests glasses, the pops of color everywhere. . .Hadley and Mike carefully choose every detail.  The floral arrangements were a true labor of love—crafted by none other than the bride’s mother.  (Thank you Sunshine Floral for the flowers!)  All of this Hadley and Mike’s wedding felt truly and uniquely ‘them’ - full of warmth, character and joy.


Beyond the stunning aesthetics, what truly made this wedding unforgettable was the emphasis on family. Every aspect of the day was infused with love and connection, from the heartfelt vows to the bride’s brother officiating to the special moments shared with loved ones. Two of my favorite moments were when both the bride’s and groom’s fathers helped them get ready.  Never have I seen the father of the bride help the bride with her earrings!  



As a wedding photographer, it’s days like these that make my heart soar. The joyful tears, the laughter, the quiet embraces between loved ones—all of these moments come together to tell a story that will be cherished for a lifetime. Photographing a wedding is not just about capturing beautiful portraits; it is about preserving the emotions, connections, and love that make each wedding so extraordinary.


If you’re planning your own wedding I’d love to help capture your story, too!  Ready to book your wedding photography? Contact me HERE to chat about your vision!
