A Romantic Cafe Brauer Winter Wedding


Cafe Brauer is where wedding dreams come true. I’ve had the pleasure of working at Cafe Brauer too many times to count. The space is filled with charm and character that you can’t find anywhere else. I had the pleasure of meeting Annie and Ryan earlier this year and literally jumped for joy when they hired me to be their wedding photographer.

These two are the sweetest couple I have ever met. I had a blast working with them on their engagement session in the spring and have been looking forward to the wedding celebration ever since.

Annie and Ryan’s day was designed and coordinated to perfection by La Belle Fleur Events. Every detail was filled with sentiment and meaning. We were in love! The floral work and decor by both Vale of Enna and Event Creative were stunning. The space felt warm and cozy, perfect for a winter day. Enjoy these photos. Merry Christmas, Annie and Ryan! 🙂
