Christine & Ben | 9.14.2019 | Stoddard, WI
When Christine and Ben began to think about where to hold their wedding celebrations, Ben’s parents land came to mind. Nestled amongst the bluffs in Stoddard, the land is loving called Grouse Hollow and has a variety of unique features such as an original tobacco barn and many large mature trees. The week of September 14th, Grouse Hollow transformed from family farm to full blown wedding venue. The tent went up, the beautiful dining tables and chairs were set and of course a dance floor was constructed. On Wedding day Grouse Hollow bustled with activity as the final details fell into place. Christine and Ben married one another under the massive Walnut Tree just beyond the tobacco barn. The celebrations that followed will be remembered by all.
A little note from the photographer: Christine and Ben chose a private first look at a bluff top location and were able to spend a a bit of time being photographed alone before the events of the day kicked into full swing. The couple’s dogs join the fun and were deemed Best Dog and Dog of Honor… I always love when the fur babies are invited to the party! Congratulations on your marriage Christine and Ben!
