Miranda & Pete’s Backyard Wedding in Chippewa Falls

An Intimate Celebration Full of Love, Laughter — and One Unexpected Catch 🎣

August 3, 2024 — A Day to Remember

On a warm summer afternoon in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, we had the joy of photographing Miranda and Pete’s wedding — a day that was simple in the best way: personal, emotional, and so full of heart.

Their ceremony took place right at home, surrounded by their closest friends and family. There were no elaborate decorations or formal timelines — just real connection and the kind of happiness that fills a space with ease.

A Wedding That Felt Like Them

Before the ceremony, we headed out for portraits at a few of their favorite local spots:

  • Lake Wissota State Park, where the soft light and shoreline gave us dreamy, golden vibes

  • The Chippewa River Distillery, with its industrial textures and moody charm

  • And finally, Riverfront Park, where their laughter carried across the quiet evening air

We love when couples trust us to explore with them. Miranda and Pete were up for anything — even casting a line.

Yes, they caught a fish in their wedding attire. 🎣 It was one of those magical, hilarious, totally unplanned moments that just felt right for their fishing-themed day.

Why We’ll Always Remember This Wedding

It wasn’t about a venue or a guest list. It was about two people choosing each other in the most honest way possible — at home, surrounded by love, and fully present.

We walked away smiling, knowing we’d witnessed something truly special. These are the stories we love to tell — the real ones.
