The brightly colored, high energy of a true and ever lasting love was the theme of Saturday’s wedding; inspired by the Disney movie UP.
I am super thankful to have been able to document it.
Their ceremony was in a beautifully decorated Barn, which was a sweet change from the traditional ballroom venue. I really loved their pastel-pink-streamer back-drop, their beyond incredible Wedding Cake ((HUGE Thanks to Jerry’s Mother)) and the uniquely styled antique furniture throughout. The Rustic Barn at Prairie Gardens Wisconsin was the perfect choice venue for A+J.
With an infinite amount of smiles coming from Andrea + Jerry, I am BEYOND ecstatic to share these images with you.
Prepare yourself for gorgeousness!
Andrea’s Mom did Andrea’s hair – – stunning.
I LOVE their smiles!

I have never met a more perfect couple than Andrea and Jerry. They were meant to be together! This wedding was so creative and beautiful! You captured Andrea and Jerry’s magical night so perfectly!!!!
Beautiful beautiful wedding! Is this a new venue in Burlington? I am getting married next year and from a small town near there and can’t seem to find their contact information anywhere. Might you know how to get in contact with them? Thanks!

Her name is Renee. 🙂
Thank you to all of you for your super sweet comments!! It was such a fabulous day and we couldn’t have asked for more than to spend it with our family and friends!
I just wanted to say a quick note to Megan as well, Tim and Renee are owners of the property. You can email me at batzlera@msoe.edu if you are interested in their contact information as I attempted to click on their shutterfly link just now and it didn’t seem to work. They were AMAZING people to work with. I cannot say enough things about them! We wouldn’t have changed a thing.
Either way! Happy hunting as I know EXACTLY what you are going through to make your day perfect!:)
Andrea
