Wisconsin Dells, WI

January 31, 2021

Alyse and Jared and their baby Clark are the cutest threesome I have ever seen. This couple is so sweet and in love and their day was covered in warm light, gorgeous weather and positive vibes. Delightful is the best word I can come up with to describe this day. The Swan Barn Door in Wisconsin Dells, is a breathtaking mammoth of a barn, with warm natural wood and tree trunks hanging from the ceilings! It has a balcony that is enormous too and makes for an incredible space! The ceremony outback is almost too good to be true with a ray of light shining down. The benches full of family and friends, the sweet decor and personal touches this couple came up with was so personal to them and adorable! They put a lot of thought into this wedding and with covid looming, I am so happy that this day happened and was as happy as it could have possibly been! Check out the vendors on the bottom and enjoy!

Phil + Amanda's Wildly Romantic Barn Wedding // Birnamwood Wisconsin

January 10, 2021

Phil and Amanda’s wedding took a few turns during covid but the vision remained the same. And the vision was so close to my heart. I started a business on barn weddings, I will never stop loving the wide open spaces a country wedding allows and a relaxed timeline, overgrown greenery bouquets, rolling hills, tree covered ceremony spaces. The List goes ON! These kind of weddings inspire me so much because I know that the couple chose this venue and theme because they wanted a certain wedding day that allowed them to roam free and without time constraints and without photo location issues, we can just walk right outside whenever we want, wait till the rain stops and run out, when the dusk light drops at juuuuuust the right time, we can walk right out the door and get those dreamy photos. These kind of weddings allow me to be the most ME. and I love them. Mostly I love the connection between Amanda and Phil. I felt it when photographing them. It’s real and genuine and beautiful and we took way too many photos because of it!

Enjoy!

Ted & Melissa's Good Time Third Ward Wedding// Milwaukee, WI

November 18, 2020

Ya’ll ready for this? (insert 2 unlimited voice)
This wedding was not only super gorgeous but it was FUN from the minute I walked in to the moment I left. Ted is like “good time Ted” he will make sure everyone around him has a Miller Lite in hand and a big smile on his face. His nervous energy came out in dance, and it was ALL DAY LONG. Melissa, so intoxicating! Fun, gorgeous, confident, and ready for action. These two are the meaning of the word “power couple”. But it wasn’t all just fun, the loss of a very important guest was heavy in the air. Beautiful tributes filled the day from a photo on the bouquet to a song during the ceremony, to toasts and speeches and first dance. A testament to the couple’s perseverance and strength. 2020 has brought some major curveballs, but I feel like every couple I encountered showed who they are inside with grace and joy. How beautiful will these marriages be?

This wedding was so well thought out which I really appreciate and love, down to the parking….parking on the third ward?! Yes. That is how thoughtful this wedding was. We started at the Kimpton Journeyman Hotel, gorgeous for getting ready and rooftop first look. Then strolled around town looking for some space to get wedding party photos. Then onto a sweet downtown venue The Black Swan, Plant 4, Their party was fun, the dresses (Jumpsuit!!) was fun, the shades, the suits, all of it. I had an excellent second shooter Kelsey, with who was a master of editorial shots, which makes for an amazing gallery for the couple! You will see some of her shots below. Also below is a list of the killer vendors who made this day happen. Be sure to scroll down and follow them!
