A day at the farm.

Well it was a day at the Badger Prairie Farm for Scott and Heather’s wedding and reception.   The wedding was outside in a beautiful setting and the reception was inside the restored and remodeled barn.  A really cool place. 

 

Here’s the kicker though.  The weather.  For the second time this year we had weather affect the wedding day.  The weather held pretty well for most of the day and we got lots of great footage around Madison.  We had fun because Heather wanted to go places that weren’t called, “The State Capitol” or “Memorial Union”.  She wanted some urban and different types of settings for the photos and fun video.  Their photographer, Casy Bower of Casey Bower Photography found some cool places.  We ended up on Willy Street, then an old abandoned building behind Olbrich Gardens and then on the Merry Go Round at Ella’s Deli.  Casey provided me with the photo for the movie poster.  Thanks Casey.  You can see a few of her images in her blog at Casey Bower’s Blog.

 

Once we were back at the farm and ready for the wedding start what do you think happened.  It started misting and drizzling.  It was a quick ceremony and then into barn for the reception.  Here’s the cool part.  Scott and Heather had a dramatic waltz planned but the dance floor was too small so they had it outside in the grass….in the drizzle.  It was dark but we found a few lights from the barn and lit up the place.  They had their dance area outlined with little lights so it made for a pretty cool look with our little bit of lighting.   When I started thinking of music for their movie trailer (they had upgraded to our wedding movie package) the dramatic look of the first dance stuck out in my mind as a cool focal point.  I knew the exact piece of music.

 

 

Here’s the movie trailer.  I think you will agree the music was perfect.
