Hannah + Brian

Hannah and Brian’s December wedding at The Delafield Hotel in Delafield, Wisconsin was the perfect blend of romantic winter charm and heartfelt celebration. As a Wisconsin wedding photographer, I’m always inspired by couples who fully embrace the season—and these two did just that. Their mauve, blue, and red color palette brought a rich, festive warmth to the day, beautifully complementing the holiday décor throughout the hotel. With fresh snow on the ground and the hotel’s timeless architecture as a backdrop, every moment photographed felt straight out of a winter romance film.

The day began with the couple getting ready in the cozy Delafield Hotel suites, which always provide soft natural light and classic styling—ideal for detail photos and candid moments. Their ceremony took place in the hotel’s ballroom, transformed into a peaceful indoor sanctuary for their vows. After the ceremony, the space underwent a seamless room flip for the reception, complete with glowing candlelight and elegant holiday touches. It was the type of ballroom wedding in Delafield that future couples will swoon over.

For portraits, we stepped outside into the crisp winter air to take advantage of the snow-covered landscape around the Delafield Hotel. The soft snowfall made their couple portraits feel magical, especially with the charming architecture and nature paths nearby. One of the most unforgettable parts of the day was photographing on the hotel’s bell tower—yes, including drone shots! The aerial views captured the grandeur of the hotel and the surrounding winter scenery, making their gallery truly unique.

Hannah and Brian are as sweet as they come. They first met on Bumble, had their first date wandering the Shorewood Farmers Market, and got engaged while hiking in Kohler-Andrae State Park—so incorporating nature into their wedding photos felt meaningful and authentic. Their wedding at The Delafield Hotel was a true reflection of their story: warm, joyful, down-to-earth, and full of love. If you’re planning a Delafield Hotel wedding, a winter wedding in Wisconsin, or a ballroom wedding in Lake Country, I’d love to photograph your day and help you preserve every beautiful moment.
