Third Ward Milwaukee// Mel and Mike's Warm January Engagement Session

Warm January? Yes you read it right. We picked the absolutely perfect but rare super warm weekend in January to get together for engagement photos. Mel and Mike are so cute and wanted to do pictures at on of their most memorable locations, Buckleys! Such a charming place to have a first date and proposal here. Then we went to Hubbard Park for a warm walk in the January sunshine, it was the perfect day for meeting and mingling. I can’t wait for the big day in August at the Paine Arts Center in Oshkosh!

Bryant and Rachels Winter Solstice Wedding at The Waterfront // Lacrosse, WI

This wedding. I can’t get over it…the dress, the getting ready moments at The Charmant and the gorgeous ceremony space they created, the florals and wedding party colors, the laughs and did I say Dress? I Winter can be such a magical time, but I don’t shoot a lot of winter weddings. Rachel and Bryant were totally in for my schedule to include the best light of day and it was perfect! In Wisconsin you are not 100% sure what kind of weather you are going to get these days. We are seeing less snow in winters but luckily Bryant and Rachels big day was cool and crisp above zero and without fog or rain! We really lucked out. Friends, this was my last wedding of the 2018 season, my tenth year shooting weddings and I just have to say it was like the best Christmas Gift. This couple is so much fun and this day went off without a hitch. I was SO incredibly happy to be a part of it. I am SO happy for these two! and this family! The Roh’s are amazing and I was lucky enough to also work with Meghan and Adam also, so I always feel like part of the family. I hope you all enjoy this gorgeous day! I couldn’t narrow it down so its a pretty big blog post but hey! its my last wedding for a while!

Wisconsin Bride Publication

I am incredibly honored to continue to get chosen by Wisconsin Bride Magazine to share my beautiful brides and grooms! Six years of publications and every year I am completely blown away! From one little photo featured in the Wisconsin Bride resource guide, to a full page and then the cover and then a 4 page spread! Honestly, pinch me. I see my name next to some of my favorite and most talented photographers in the state and to this day I still feel like “what am I doing in here”?! it’s just seriously one of the coolest and most special things that has happened to me as a photographer. Here’s the 2019 Spring/Summer with the loveliest couple and an all time favorite wedding of mine. Clare and Brett’s garden themed wedding was so classic and delicate. I just loved that it was chosen!
