Tanner + Kelsie - The Wedding

Another hot but amazing August day for Tanner and Kelsie's wedding :) This was an amazing group of people to work with and was honored to be a part of their special day.

Right from the get-go, the bridesmaids were so laid back and easy going. I had known a few of the guys in the wedding party and the ones I didn't had fermiliar faces. I played baseball against Tanner and a couple of his groomsmen in High School, and then I played College baseball with both Tanner and his younger brother Colton, and an amature woodbat league with Tanner. Both are great ball players, Colton isn't as good at baseball as he is giving a bestman speech though. Great speech Colton, had me laughing.

As usual, I started with the bridesmaids right away, got a couple detail shots right away and then Kelsie and Tanner had their "first moment" before pictures started before the ceremony.
Tanner and Kelsie both BIG Twins fans. Big enough to get a Twins gaarder.
Ceremony was the perfect length, not too short and not too long.
We had gotten ALL of the posed pictures done before the ceremony which meant only one thing....More time for fun group shots and their romantic session.

I was super excited about this group because they were all troopers knowing it was almost 90' and sunny outside. They all hung in their and had a blast shooting pictures. Kelsie's Dad had a friend that escorted Kelsie and Tanner around town in his 1957 Chrysler. What an AMAZING car.
After we focused on getting the wedding party shots done and let them head back down to The Sports Hub for a couple of cold cocktails, Tanner and Kelsie hung out with me for another 20 minutes or so for some shots of just the two of them :)
Thanks to John for allowing us to use his beautiful car for Kelsie and Tanner's wedding images.

After a quick portrait session of Kelsie and Tanner, they went to The Sports Hub for a quick drink and I went to the City Brewery Hospitality center in La Crosse to get some details, photograph them cutting the cake, and get ready for their grand entrance and dinner speeches.

I'll call Annie's (Kelsie's Sister - Matron of Honor) speech "The Ugly Truth" and I don't even know what to call Colton's (Tanner's younger brother -Best Man) other than maybe a stand up comedy routine. Both were great speeches guys!
Time for the first dances - so much emotion every weekend, it's such a fun experience to be able to see the love that Tanner and Kelsie have for one another and both families.
Congrats to both Holland and Hill families on your new additions. It was a blast being able to work with such an amazing group of people. Thanks for chosing me to capture your special day.

All of Kelsie and Tanner's images will be posted on my website within 2-3 weeks for purchase.

  1. Awesome Jared. Just awesome! You were great on Saturday. Lots of great comments about your demeanor and creativity. Everyone was really looking forward to seeing Kelsie and Tanner's pics. By the way, my son is still asking if there was really a dinosaur in the camera lens.
