About the couple

Hope and Joshua are two Wisconsinites who fell in love at a college in Minnesota. Hope has a true gift of making everyone she meets feel loved. Likewise, Joshua cares for just about anyone he meets. They are blessed to love and be loved by many friends and family!

The engagement.

One February morning, the couple decided to head to Port Washington for a brisk walk to a light house and walk around the docks on Lake Michigan. Joshua had it all planned out but parked in the wrong parking lot. Oh no! Thinking quickly on his feet, he simply told Hope to lead the way. She spotted an outlet of boulders that could be walked on. Little did she know, Joshua had set up his friend/photographer to secretly follow and take pictures. Knowing his time was running out, and with his hand firmly around the ring in his pocket, Joshua stopped to tell Hope his love for her and popped the big question.

The Big day

The couple wanted a simple feel for the wedding day, but with elegant details. Hope was wearing the veil of the Matron of Honor and their ceremony took place at the location where they reconnected. They loved the simple beauty that The Hay Loft proved. They thought the barn was gorgeous as is and didn’t need much decoration. They enjoyed working with the owners and were pleased with the whole process!
