This venue is perfect for couples who appreciate a bit of history with their love story. The variety of backdrops—from wildflower fields to century-old structures—makes it an ideal setting for timeless, documentary-style wedding photography. We have photographed so many weddings here; it is one of our favorite places in the Driftless, and we have explored its magical fields, creeks, and hidden waterfalls extensively!








4. The Hatchery

The textures and unique details create the perfect setting for the bride and groom, and the open floor plan ensures plenty of space for an unforgettable celebration.
5. Mt. La Crosse
- Guest Capacity: Up to 300 guests
- Why We Love It: For adventurous couples who love the idea of a mountain backdrop, Mt. La Crosse delivers. Whether you’re saying “I do” at the base of the slopes or celebrating inside the lodge, this venue has a rustic charm that pairs beautifully with its dramatic landscapes. We love capturing couples among the trees, overlooking the rolling hills, or dancing beneath the warm glow of the lodge’s wooden interiors. Our family has fallen headlong into skiing in the past year, and we have visited a handful of ski hills around the Midwest. We think Mt. La Crosse stands out with its classic A-frame architecture and the incredibly charming St. Bernard Room!
