.kaylee & rich. Minocqua, WI Madison Wedding Photographer

This is northern Wisconsin on a beautiful fall day!  As I continued driving north it kept getting better and better!  The colors were just on fire.  

And then I met up with Kaylee and Rich and it continued to get better.  We went to Rich's family cabin where they were engaged on the pouch.  What a great place to capture them being themselves and hanging out!  

We then went walking through the woods to capture some more colors and look who joined us!!!  A black bear.  Predictions are that the bear was about 3 years old.  We locked eyes for a few minutes.  We all stood very still.  I then took a step left, of course to get a better angle to take a picture of Mr. Bear, and he ran.   As cool as it was to see him in person, we all took a big deep breath after he ran!  Funny enough this was the second time I had bear join in for a shoot.  During my sisters wedding we had a grizzly bear and her cub walk down the stream during the reception.  Both times my heart was pumping, although the grizzly was the much more dangerous situation.  

Thank you for sharing your cabin with me.  What an incredible place you have to make many more memories.  Cheers, Em
