It felt like we were straight out of Italy at this great venue Villa Bellezza Winery! It had grape vines around the building blooming with white lilacs and a small hill made it feel like Lake Como in Italy! This couple made it even more stunning.

For golden hour pics, we went to Lake Pepin where a man on a boat offered us a ride.

Thank you Heather and Ed for letting me capture your beautiful wedding! I wish you all happy years to come.

And this is how they met…

“We met at my MOH and best friends house party when I was trying to go to sleep on a couch and Ed came and sat on top of me. I thought he was a goofy guy (I mean…who sits on a stranger when they are sleeping!?).”

“Ed and I met through our best friends that are dating (MOH and Best Man Angelyn and Sawyer). Ed and I were best friends for 3 years prior to us dating. We always thought of each other as friends, I thought Ed was way too goofy and the jokester of the group until I invited him over to spend Valentine’s Day with myself and my niece and I saw how good he was with her. We decided once we started spending more time together away from our friend group, that we really enjoyed each other. We broke the news to our friend group after keeping it a secret for a few weeks and apparently everyone saw this coming except for us. Ed and I both love the outdoors and fell in love with the scenery and are of Pepin WI. I have been to Italy and I saw many similarities in the details of Villa bellezza. On our wedding day we want to capture all the special moments and love we share with one another and our families.”
