Brittany and Jake first met in Tahoe, CA where they lived next door to each other. They worked together at an adaptive sports program and started dating after that May after getting to know one another through skiing and hot tub and lake parties. Their love grew through plenty of adventures – mountain biking, skiing, hiking and swimming trips forged the foundation for their relationship. Brittany and Jake weathered quarantine together when the world shut down and welcomed their dog Juno to their adventures in love.

I first met Brittany and Jake over Zoom and loved their laid-back energy, I was so excited to get to know them both at their wedding at the beautiful Kemper Lakes! It was a beautiful Saturday when Conrad, Ryan and I arrived at Brittany’s grandparents’ house for getting ready photos. Their large and beautiful backyard was the perfect spot for Brittany and Jake’s emotional first look and private vows, such sweet moments set against the prettiest Midwestern backdrop! After taking some fun pictures with their wedding party and adorable dog Juno we made our way to Kemper Lakes. Everything looked so pretty at Kemper Lakes and we enjoyed their sweet ceremony overlooking the water (complete with a unity shot ski!)

Once Brittany and Jake were officially married we took just a few more photos before the celebration really began. The sun graced us with beautiful golden light just before the reception started and we got a lot of really pretty pictures of Brittany and Jake cutely practicing their first dance together out by the water. What a true joy it was for us to be around this adventurous, kind, and light-hearted couple on their wedding day!
