Jessica and Josh // Backyard Wedding // Hatfield, WI Wedding Photographer // Black River Falls, WI Wedding Photographer // Jessica Brandau Photography

I spent all day yesterday trying to think about how I could best describe Jess and Josh’s wedding day. Simple. Down to Earth. Natural. Fun. Laid back. Their day was all of these words and so much more. They started the day with a downpour (good luck on your wedding day!), but they took it all in stride and didn’t let it change their plans. Jessica and Josh met while in Hawaii, so a beach wedding was a given, and the rain cleared off just in time for their small ceremony surrounded by their closest family and friends. The rest of the day was insanely chill- think loads of beach time, the cutest flower girls of all time, time spent on the lake, campfires, great food, a speech from Jess’s dad that included a rendition of Moana’s “You’re Welcome” (that will forever go down in history as the greatest dad speech of all time), home brews…the list could go on and on.

Jessica and Josh, THANK YOU. And everyone else involved. For welcoming me into your home, for creating such an amazing laid back atmosphere, and just being so great to work with. -xo
