Our Wedding Day

01

Dustin and Jess’ love was formed around their passion for agriculture. They informally met back in 2013 at the local Farm and Power Show that is held in Owatonna, MN. Not long after that distinctive encounter began the Facebook creeping. Dustin was being smooth and decided to message Jess with a question about pigs. Of course, Jess was ecstatic to talk about pigs and was more than happy to answer his questions. Little did she know, Dustin had bigger plans than just pig talk. We landed our first date two days after Valentine’s Day 2014. There must have been something in the air that night, or maybe it was in the pheasant that was sacrificed on the way to date #2, that kept the spark going. More and more time was spent together until they decided to move in together in the Summer of 2015. One cool August afternoon, when Jess arrived home from work, she thought that it would be a good idea to razzle Dustin’s feathers; this is almost a daily occurrence. As she was joking around with Dustin, and Dustin becoming more and more irritated with her, he suddenly stopped in the middle of the farmyard. He looked Jess right in the eyes, whipped out his Leatherman multi-tool and started to compare Jess to every single utensil.......

Our Story: Part 1

02

......And when he was done making his comparisons, Jess looked at him with a smirk and said, “Well, that’s the nicest thing that you’ve ever said to me!”. Then suddenly, the lightbulb went off and Dustin was on a mission. He makes a beeline right for his pickup and Jess is hot on his trail. As Dustin is on his knees rummaging around in his center council in his pickup, Jess is thinking to herself “what in the world is this boy digging for?”. To her surprise, and she was very surprised, Dustin appears back on the ground, standing right in front of her with a box in his hand. At this point, he is visibly shaking to death and not a word was said. All Jess was able to do was nod her head yes as the tears of joy ran down her face. August 31, 2016 was a day to remember and one in which their lives began to change forever. As they reflect on their short journey thus far, they are deeply reminded that, “There are no accidental meetings between souls.” – Sheila Burke

Q: Do we have to do the traditional formal pictures?  
A: No, absolutely not! Our style is genuine, and that is what makes us different. Though formals are nice, it is the shots with raw emotion, the ones we get when our couples don't know we are photographing them, that people fall in love with.


Q: Do I really have to wait 4 weeks to get my images after my wedding day? 1 month seems a bit long….
A: We say that to allow cushion just in case of emergencies. In most cases, you will receive your images in less than 4 weeks.

Sydnie is currently a junior at Eau Claire North High School where she keeps busy as an impressive student-athlete. I am so proud of all she’s accomplished and love being so close to home to watch her excel both academically, in the community and as a three-sport athlete. Sydnie is incredibly passionate, smart, hard-working, and beautiful on the inside and out! I admire her drive and determination in anything she sets her mind to. It was quite a simple decision to have Sydnie stand beside as me as my Maid of Honor on our wedding day.

SyDNIE STEINMETZ: Maid of honor
Sister of the Bride

Halle is a 7th Grader at Northstar Middle School. If she’s not kicking around a soccer ball or bumping a volleyball, you can find her painting, drawing, or using her creativity and incredible artistic abilities to create amazing artwork. Despite our age difference, Halle and I are the best of friends and we share such a special bond. I adore her big heart, kind soul and compassion for others. Halle truly makes being a big sister the greatest blessing in the world and there was no doubt in my mind that she stand beside me as a Co (Junior) Maid of Honor with Sydnie.

Mallory and I have been friends since 5th grade where we met, playing on the same traveling basketball team. Our friendship continued to strengthen over the years where we bonded over sports and our perfectionism as students. As teenagers, you could find us together studying, working on an extra-credit project, and of course hanging out. I had the privilege of graduating high school with Mal and then go on to UW-Madison and graduate from the School of Business with her. We will forever bond over our love/hate relationship with school. Mallory lives in the Appleton area where she works in Supply Chain for Kimberly Clark. I admire Mallory’s heart of gold, her strong work ethic and her fun-loving personality and am blessed to have known her for over 15 years!

Renae and I have been friends since Middle School. Renae has always brought out the extrovert and social butterfly in me and growing up you could often find the two of us laughing, cracking jokes and having fun. I appreciate her witty sense of humor, ability to make anyone around her laugh, and her zest for life! Renae lives and works in Utah. Although our careers and lives after high school and college have brought us across the country from each other, our friendship continues to remain strong despite the distance. You can expect Renae to be the life of the party (with a glass of wine in each hand) at our wedding!

Renae Christianson: Bridesmaid

Laura and I met in our freshman English class at UW-Madison. It wasn’t long before we were the best of friends as we quickly found out how much we had in common and got a kick out of our all too similar Type-A personalities! I’m not sure I would have survived my 4 years at UW without her. The majority of our college careers were spent together, whether that be in the classroom, studying in the library, and of course experiencing what the UW-Madison party scene was all about. Although I wish we lived closer, Laura’s success in her career with Kohl’s has brought her to Indiana. Laura is incredibly thoughtful and the definition of an amazing and life-long friend and I’m so thankful that our paths crossed on that first week of college!

Laura Youngbauer: Bridesmaid
Friend of the Bride

Michelle and I were random roommates as Freshman in college. We connected so well that we lived the entirety of our college careers together and remain great friends today. Yes, she somehow put up with living with me for 4 straight years! I’ve always admired her brightness, work ethic, and maturity. Luckily, Michelle lives close to me and in the twin cities area, so every now and then we are able to step away from our busy work lives and hang out or grab dinner together. She currently works for Optum in Project Management and has recently bought her own condo! She succeeds in everything she sets out to accomplish and I’m thankful our careers have brought us to the same state again!

Michelle Karth: Bridesmaid
Friend of the Bride

Olivia is my beautiful (and not so little anymore) cousin. She is currently a Freshman at Lakeville South High School where you can find her being a social butterfly and participating on the dance team. She loves all things fashion and beauty and will likely be the next famous beauty blogger! When Trent and I moved to the Twin Cities area, we spent quite a bit of time with Olivia and grew very close when we lived just a bedroom away for 8 months as we were buying our first home. Olivia has a beautiful soul, a witty sense of humor, and a giving heart and we are so blessed to have her standing beside us in June! 

Olivia Fiedler: Bridesmaid
Cousin of the Bride

Trevor works for Reclaimed Rustic Woodworks near Phillips, WI. My brother and I were very close growing up in Jefferson. One of our favorite things to do was to play wiffle ball against each other in the backyard. Trevor is a very handy person and I am thankful for all of the help he has given me over the years. He’s a constant go-to when I’m unsure of how to do something (which let’s face it, is a lot!). I am very lucky to have a brother who is there for me in good times and in bad.

Trevor Probst: Best Man
Brother of the groom

Ryan currently works for the city of Janesville as a Firefighter/EMT. We had many good times growing up and memories at our grandparents house, camping with the cousins, and as we got older, deer hunting. I look up to Ryan for his outstanding work ethic and level-headed decision making. 

Ryan huenerberg: Groomsman
cousin of the groom

Dan currently teaches in the Racine Unified School District. Dan and I became good friends from the time we met at UW-Whitewater when we were in the same Freshman Orientation group, living in the same dorm. We were also in the same Intro to PE class, and went through the entire PE program together. We had many classes together and would bounce ideas off of each other to help us get through the grind of classes. Of course our passion for sports always leads to some very good discussions: Yes, the Packers should fire McCarthy, Brett Favre left too early, and Wisconsin will always be better than Marquette! I can count on Dan for an honest opinion about anything whether it is sports, school, or life!

Dan Niespodziani: Groomsman
friend of the groom

Billy is currently a police officer for the City of Fort Atkinson. We became friends in kindergarten at St. John’s in Jefferson and from that time on not only did we become close but so did our families. We would spend our summers playing baseball together followed by an annual camping trip to some state park in Wisconsin. In the fall we played football together and in the winter we would play basketball. I admire his strong work ethic and ability to look at the big picture. 

Billy Becker: Groomsman
Friend of the groom

Keegan is the owner of Wedl Construction. Keegan and I met in kindergarten and went to school together through high school. Boy did we give Mr. Frisque a run for his money in 6th grade. We played football and baseball together and our senior year we played center and guard, right next to each other. When I bought my first house, Keegan was a huge help as I am the furthest thing from a handy person. When working on it he would often say “well, good enough for this house!” I am extremely appreciative that he’s always there for any of our friends whether it is to help out, talk, or to just do something fun.

Keegan Wedl: Groomsman
Friend of the groom

Neil is a police officer for the City of Jefferson. I met Neil in middle school playing football together and basketball against each other. Little did I know that in 7th grade we would play football together for the next 6 years and be captains together for our junior and senior year of high school. We would spend many nights at his house in high school playing cards or video games. I look to him for his honesty and blunt personality. 

Neil Taylor: Groomsman
Friend of the groom

Bryant is currently a manager for Nike in Chicago. When I was 9, our traveling baseball team (mostly made up of Lutheran’s) needed another player. There was this left handed boy who could pitch from the Catholic school that joined our team and from there we became not only teammates but great friends. Playing every sport together growing up, there was no doubt our best one was baseball. Our Dad’s were coaches on the team and our families would spend a lot of time together. I will always be thankful for how hard he pushed me to work in our sports together and for how much fun it always was. I have always appreciated how you carry yourself and admire the husband and father that you have become.
