Last summer, Bree and Jarryd chose a beautiful field of sunflowers in Cecil, Wisconsin, for their dog-friendly engagement session with Green Bay photographer Ashley Kalbus Photography. Wesson, their adorable Golden Retriever, joined them for a few photos.
From Ashley: “Bree and Jarry had originally scheduled their wedding for 2020, and they were forced to change their wedding date because of the pandemic. They decided they wanted to do another engagement session in the beautiful sunflowers fields in Cecil, WI. 
Their wedding floral was going to include sunflowers, and so they thought these photos would be perfect to use on the tables. They also decided to include their new addition to the family, their dog Wesson.” 
From Bree: “My husband and I moved in together in 2018 into a place that was not pet-friendly. After only one year of living there, we knew we wanted to get a dog in the near future. Instead of moving, we continuously begged our landlord to allow pets. We typed up a proposal outlining the ways we would continue to take care of the home, but we were denied… again.
Finally, in 2020 our dreams were coming true. Our landlord finally approved us to get a puppy, and our lives have never been the same since.
Wesson is a purebred Golden Retriever born in Wisconsin. We brought him home in February 2021. Wesson has tested our patience and our relationship at times, but just as we have watched him grow, he has watched us grow. Wesson loves to go for walks, swim, camping, play with other dogs, and play tug o war. He is so gentle, loves to give kisses, and loves to snuggle!
When it came to our engagement photos, it was a no-brainer that Wesson had to be in them as well. Wesson is and always will be a blessing in our lives. The sunflower farm was a perfect location being outdoors and pet-friendly. Wesson enjoyed walking around the sunflower fields and playing with other dogs afterwards.
Little does Wesson know, coming home to him is our favorite part of the day!”
