Octagon Barn Wedding / Spring Green, WI / Cari + Owen

Cari and Owen’s wedding day is one that’s hard to put into words. It was so full to the brim with everything you could want in a wedding day that it’s difficult to describe it fully or even know where to start.

As full-time professional wedding photographers, it’s rare that we know the couples we photograph before they first reach out to us. This is why we video chat and spend intentional time getting to know them before the wedding day. But that wasn’t the case with Cari and Owen.

We met them six years ago when they first opened their beautiful venue, the Octagon Barn in Spring Green. Over the years, we’ve photographed other weddings at their barn and have gotten to know many of their Spring Green friends. So from the moment they told us they were planning their own wedding, we knew the entire process and event would be something truly special. And it was exactly that!
