On this beautiful summer day in August, we arrived oru at studio in New Richmond, Wisconsin to photograph TJ getting ready for his wedding day! The groomsmen were all laughing, drinking beers, and TJ was helping his son tie his tie for his father's wedding day! Pretty soon he was donning his classic tux, and he was ready to see his beautiful bride! At the house where Shelley was getting ready, she was surrounded by her bridesmaids, drinking mimosas! They helped her slip into her white dress, and tied her ballerina ribboned garter around her leg. Shelley ventured outside, and stood there waiting for TJ to approach. Soon the doors slid open, and TJ stepped outside. The first ting he saw was his beautiful bride, standing underneath a tree whose branches bended down, covering them slightly. With a smile on his face, he hastily walked over, and gave his a loving kiss, telling her she was beautiful. They walked back in the house, prepared for the day that was before them! Soon we arrived at the church, with a beautiful landscape outside for family images, and fun shots of the wedding party! The sky was a little overcast, but it made the trees such a deep beautiful green, that Shelley's white dress so brilliant! We lazily walked back to the church, where the music was starting and everyone was starting to arrive! Michael Shynes began strumming his guitar, and singing as Shelley walked down the carpet towards TJ. Soon their vows were spoken, and they sealed the deal with a kiss! Now the party began, the wedding party piled into a limo, which they took to the Gibby's Lanes! There they enjoyed some fun on the bowling lanes with a beer in their hand! We ventured down the streets, snapping shots of this hilarious wedding party as they piled in the middle of the street! Climbing the steps, we enjoyed the view at the top of Champ's Bar in New Richmond, Wisconsin! Beau pulled TJ and Shelley out for a moment to capture some beautiful images of them in the alleyways of New Richmond, where the flowers were blooming and the sun was shining brightly for this couple! The limo pulled up to Ready Randy's, where TJ and Shelley were enjoying their reception. Candles were lit and bouquets of pink, green and cream flowers were placed in the center of the table. A caricature artist sat in the corner, capturing hilarious drawings of the guests! Speeches were given, and dinner was served. The night was a wonderful success! TJ and Shelley soon walked to the center of the dance floor, enjoying their first dance as husband and wife! This was a stunningly beautiful wedding, and we wish TJ and Shelley all the happiness in the world! ~ Natalee
