Deric & April

Congratulations to Deric & April Wolf, who became husband & wife on August 26, 2006, at the Lakeside Wedding Chapel in Eau Galle, Wisconsin! They had a perfect day for their wedding, and I always enjoy the drive to scenic Eau Galle - although there was a bit of road construction on Highway 25 (ok, most of road is missing from Downsville to Durand), and Eau Galle looked a bit like a small-scale war zone - thanks to a horrific hail storm that smashed windows, cars, and tore off branches that were scattered everywhere - but the Lakeside Wedding Chapel seemed unfazed and picture perfect for the day! April (that would be the bride) got a nice suprise in the form of a stretch Hummer Limo that took them from the chapel, to the reception (with a few stops along the way) at Mick's in Durand. The Mick's Bar & Grill building in downtown Durand used to be an old Ford dealership (you can still read the faded letters on the back of the building if you look carefully), and it has a real blues & rock feel to it - old hardwood floors, tin ceiling, fieldstone walls, and a multilevel layout that overlooks the river. The reception was great! Deric & April, along with their wedding party (Hope, Valerie, Jessica, Lindsay, Brandon, Nik, Robby, Corey, Kevin and Jame) know how to have a good time! The dance floor was packed all night! Congratulations again to Deric & April, and be sure to stop by the viewing section of my website (www.photographer4u.com) to view all the images from their wedding - they will be posted on Saturday, September 2nd!

Brent & Janelle

Brent & Janelle got married yesterday, August 5, 2006 at St. John's Church in Bloomer! The collage of images you see here is just a small sample of their great wedding photographs (it gets larger if you click on it). This was one of the most enjoyable, relaxed, and organized weddings I have ever been to, and I have been to alot of weddings! On the way to the local park for a few outdoor shots, I passed the Bloomer fair, and once I saw the ferris wheel, I knew we had to make a side trip for some memorable images - although a few members of the wedding party started to look a bit quesy (the ferris wheel turned backwards!), I think overall they had fun! Then it was off to Ruby's for the dinner and reception - the food was great, and I can't say enough about the professional staff that really made everything run smooth and organized. And speaking more of great food, they even had cannoli brought all the way from Canfora Bakery in Milwaukee! We're talkin' Italian pastry here, what an amazing suprise, and they were wonderful! Here in the northwoods of Bloomer, you just can't find great canoli, although Bloomer is famous for it's pies! Congratulations to Brent & Janelle; and make sure you come back on friday the 11th to view all their photographs online!
