heather & dan {married!} - part one

I am very excited to share these next two posts with you! Last weekend, I spent a few days in Lake Geneva, WI to celebrate the nuptials of Heather & Dan. The full wedding post will come tomorrow, but I just had so many fun details to share, I had to give you a preview from the rehearsal evening and a taste of what's to come!

Recognize this dashing couple? ;)

Heather's grandparents own property on Lake Geneva and her and her family have spent every summer there since she was a baby! It was also on that lake that Dan proposed to Heather last summer. Needless to say, the Lake holds a special place in their lives and I was so honored to document them and their families in such a special location!

Dan spent a lot of his life in Bolivia, where his parents are missionaries. Herego, the rehearsal dinner was a Bolivian theme! So yummy!

Dan's dad opened up the microphone for anyone to share a story about the couple. It was so cool to be a "fly on the wall" in this situation and hear some funny and serious stories about Heather & Dan. I loved getting to know more about them through their loved ones!

And here are the sweet newlyweds-to-be soaking in the memories and love shared by family and friends and thanking everyone who brought them to be who they are today. There were a lot of joyful tears shed Friday evening and into Saturday... but you'll have to wait until tomorrow to see their beautiful wedding.
