Gabi and Tyler had a very windy spring wedding at the beautiful Brighton Acres in Oshkosh, WI.
Walking in to Gabi and Tyler’s wedding at Brighton Acres was like stepping in to a beautiful wedding dream. The venue is beautiful and the people are too. Brighton Acres staff made sure the tables were prepared and the bar was stocked. The bridal suite was all ready for the girls to arrive. When Gabi walked in she already looked stunning.
The bridal party was all so fun on this day and there seemed to be no nerves at all. I spent a little time chatting with the guys and getting their photos done. Then it was the girls’ turn to get the final touches on. The bridesmaids dresses were so pretty, just the right color for the day. Then Gabi put her dress on and wow! That’s always when it sinks in that “today’s the day” and it’s all real. We snuck Tyler in for them to have a private moment reading their vows. They didn’t see each other but a little finger touch calmed them both.
To the barn!
The reception hall was an old machine shed that looks anything but old. The ceremony though was in the barn. The light filtering through the slats in the wood was so pretty. The wind was just about ready to start peeling boards off the barn. Good thing it was a short and sweet ceremony. There’s no need for some long drawn out thing when just a look at Gabi and Tyler together is all a person needs to see how perfect they are for each other. They are each other’s rock and support.
We miraculously found a spot where the wind wouldn’t blow everyone away for portraits and then let them go for cocktail hour. The bar area was packed. Dinner was awesome. And the speeches, oh they were good. The best man’s words about Tyler and when he first met Gabi were some of the most sincere I’ve heard in a speech. Gabi’s sister was the Maid of Honor and the way she talks about Gabi just tugs at the heart strings.
Party time!
First dances were sweet and when the floor opened up for party dancing the wedding party was on it! There’s something about seeing a group of friends gathered for one couple and loving every minute of it that makes a wedding great. We didn’t get a sunset due to the weather, but at dusk all the lights in the trees came on. I stole Gabi and Tyler away for just a few minutes to get some late night shots I love!
I so enjoyed being at this wedding and seeing these two incredible people come together. Gabi and Tyler, I wish you all the best!

Once I deliver all the photos to the bride and groom, I’ll send you a link to the guest gallery. It will include the parts of the day guests were present and the blog photos. It’ll be a few weeks, but worth the wait!
