After a little time MIA soaking up all the baby snuggles, family moments, and kid time, we’re officially back for wedding season! 🤍

While we’ve intentionally taken a step back over the last year to focus on our families, we couldn’t be more excited to jump back into doing what we love most, celebrating and serving our incredible couples.

Kicking off our season with Keely & Tyler in beautiful Menominee, Michigan is the perfect way to start. We can’t wait to share all the love stories, happy tears, and unforgettable moments this season has in store.

Let the 2026 wedding season begin! Xoxo, Des & Alex

Wagner Integrative Health holiday party 🎄

Every day I pinch myself that this is my reality. A job I love and a team I adore. So much laughter, kindness and camaraderie.

Over a decade ago I dreamed of doing medicine differently — and today that dream is alive and thriving.

Thank you God, and thank you Team WIH for making my “dreams come true!”

Alex and I are endlessly thankful for each and every one of our couples this year. We truly could not do this without you and the trust you place in us. Thank you for letting us be part of some of the biggest, most meaningful days of your lives.

We’re also so grateful for our families, who stepped up in the biggest ways, especially during peak season when we were away almost every weekend. That support means more than you know.

To my body, thank you for holding up through 12-hour wedding days while pregnant! Things didn’t turn for the worst until after our last wedding of the year, as if baby knew! Definitely not for the faint of heart, but so worth it.

All the miles traveled, the incredible venues we were lucky enough to work in, the vendor relationships we built, and the memories made, it’s honestly hard to find the words.

And heading into 2026, I’m excited for growth in all forms!Including showing up better online 😅 Reels, galleries, recaps… it’s time!!! Maybe a social media manager?! Who knows!

This was only year two, and I truly can’t imagine what the years ahead will bring.
If you’re out there wondering whether you should take the leap, do it. You never know unless you try 🤍

Next up, we’ve got Kenzie & Jesse! They’re tying the knot this Saturday in the heart of Milwaukee. Two weddings back-to-back is no small feat, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Excited for another beautiful day and so grateful for this busy season! 🤍
