Nickole & Devin are married & got to celebrate that with their favorite people a few weeks ago! They are such a cute and fun couple and we are so happy for them to get to enjoy this journey together. Their journey started back in preschool; they went to the same one & were in even smack dab beside each other in the class photo. How stinkin’ cute is that?! They also played soccer together from 7th grade on and became really great friends, which turned into a relationship that blossomed over the years. Since Devin is in the military, they’ve spent a lot of the past 4ish years apart so their wedding day was even more of a celebration- that they finally get to be TOGETHER. Also, their big day was at one of our all time favorite venues- The Gathering Place at Darlington Lake.
Only twice ever in the history of Menning Photographic weddings has one of us not been at a wedding. We’ve photographed well over 200 weddings, but the one that happened three weeks after I (Danielle) gave birth to our daughter in 2015, we had another photographer cover for me. And for Nickole & Devin’s wedding, we had the lovely and talented Carlyn of Carlyn K Photography shoot with Josh, as I unfortunately could not be there. Carlyn did an amazing job, as we knew she would! Also, have to give a shoutout- Farmhouse Blooms did the florals and they were gorgeous!
Nickole grew all of the succulent favors for guests. 
Tara Davidson did the makeup for the wedding day.
Love, love, love the joy and anticipation when it all becomes so very real! This is such a huge moment.
Then FIRST LOOK time! Eeeep!
You can just feel the love! 
Well, cuteness off the charts here.
These socks are too good. They had Nickole & Devin’s faces on them.
Carol’s Cakes made the pretty cake.
Thank you for choosing us to photograph this important day in your lives, Nickole & Devin! We’re so glad we got to know you throughout your wedding planning journey and got to take engagement and wedding day photos for you both! We wish you the very best as you adventure through life together!
