Some weddings feel like they’re pulled straight from a storybook—not the over-the-top, glittery kind, but the grounded, heart-full kind. The kind with a ceremony in the woods, a horse-drawn carriage, and bug spray thoughtfully offered to every guest. My kind of fairytale.
Marcie and Jake’s wedding at Wedge’s Creek Hideaway was exactly that—tender, joy-filled, and beautifully rooted in who they are. This newer Central Wisconsin venue offered the perfect backdrop: rustic charm, quiet paths under towering trees, and a whole lot of room for love.
From the moment Marcie stepped into her practical-but-adorable shoes (a girl after my own heart), I knew the day would be full of intention and beauty. And it was—through and through.
They said “I do” surrounded by playful, loving, and steady family, the kind of support that wraps around you like a warm blanket. Their first look with their son was one of the sweetest I’ve ever witnessed—an unforgettable pause in the middle of all the celebration.
Every detail had a story. Marcie’s bouquet was stunning. Her ring? One-of-a-kind. The sunset? Showed up right on cue, golden and glowing. And as a fellow photographer, Marcie’s trust in me meant the world. It’s no small thing to be handed a day like this and asked to preserve it with heart.
Marcie and Jake, thank you for the way you showed up for each other. For the joy. For the kindness. For the bug spray. 😉
I’ll never forget the way your love looked under those trees.
Hey, I’m Natasha—and I’m so glad you’re here. This blog is a little collection of stories I’ve had the honor of witnessing—quiet moments, big feelings, and the kind of memories that matter more with time. Whether it’s a wedding day hug, a muddy toddler grin, or a senior on the edge of something new, I’m here to notice it all. These aren’t just sessions—they’re glimpses into real life, real love, and the beauty tucked inside the ordinary.
