Paula + Travis’s Brookfield Conference Center Wedding || Brookfield, WI

MEET PAULA + TRAVIS

Travis’s personality can be described as fun, very caring, and detailed oriented (he’s an electrical engineer). Travis is someone who always has to have a project and stay busy. He’s always willing to help his friends and family out whenever they need him.

Paula’s personality is type A,. She is a nurse and loves to help people when she can. Paula said she is a little bit of a control freak, and likes to make sure that everyone else is taken care of.

Travis and Paula met through two of their best friends! They met at their going away party! Travis and Paula kept in touch afterward and ending up going on date a few months later! Paula still lived in Minnesota at the time, and Travis lived in Wisconsin. The couple tried long-distance until Paula eventually moved back to Wisconsin.

THE PROPOSAL

Travis proposed in Door County! Paula and Travis were camping in Peninsula state park, Door County is one of Paula’s favorite places in Wisconsin, it has a special place in her heart. They were setting up their campsite looking over the water and Travis proposed.
