The last name “Koeppl” might sound familiar to you from last year! I have been lucky enough to photograph a few Koeppl Family weddings (there are 5 Koeppl boys!) and let me tell you, they are sure doing a wonderful job at picking wives! Nicole and I have been in touch for quite some time now, always chatting about something – wedding related or life related. Her and Mike’s excitement for this wedding day was off the charts. All of the planning and hard work met for their wedding day to create a gorgeous backyard ceremony paired with one crazy fun reception. Their ceremony was short, sweet, and full of heart. It was a gorgeous day for an outdoor wedding. The pond sparkled in the background and all eyes were on the happy couple. The shared their first kiss, threw their hands in the air, and were ready to celebrate!

Their reception was filled with so many laughs between the speeches and songs and kisses. Mike is an alumni to the UW Madison band, so their Badger pride is through the roof! For their grand march, they all dressed in Badger gear with some sort of awesome entrance with their parter. Just when they thought the march was coming to an end, in walks the Badger band! SURPRISE! Their faces lit up and just when they thought the night couldn’t get any better, it did. The bad was truly awesome, serenading us to countless tunes while Mike and his groomsmen led the group with the ever so hilarious and fun moves to match. Something that was one of a kind and will never be forgotten!

A gorgeous wedding day surrounded by the best people.
