Valera and Ashley's Downtown Engagement Session

 

I know Ashley and her family and even shot her older sisters amazing wedding years ago, it was one of my first weddings as a primary shooter. I know they are a wonderful family and Its always a treat to be around them, so when I heard Ashley got engaged to Valera I was really happy for them but when they contacted me for their wedding I was ecstatic! I know this is going to be a fabulous wedding in downtown Milwaukee at The Grain Exchange

I had a blast at their engagement session with Ashley and Valera showing me around the city they fell in love with/in. October cannot come soon enough! Enjoy the preview of this great session that started at Colectivo Coffee and ended at the beach....

Key West Wedding | Alison and Andrew

 

From time to time I dig back into the archives and look at old weddings, a lot has changed in my process and editing. My point of view is still there, I think my style is the same but I have definitely evolved as a photographer, which is a good thing, always keep improving right? 

One common thing I have found is that my very favorite is dining alfresco! Dinners and receptions outdoors (although they are few and far between) but when they happen are magical. 

I'm tossing out some inspiration for couples to be- if you are uncertain of a wedding venue, uncertain of wedding venue costs, and want something fun and different than the same old convention center, you should look into a few new ideas for wedding which I love. Such as, renting a big beautiful house (or mansion) anywhere in the world on VRBO.com- I mean ANYWHERE, rent it for the weekend, bring in some tables and chairs and put together a few DIY decorations and  yummy food...Viola! Amazing wedding.  

You will see a LOT more of this type of wedding from me this year, starting with Tiffany & Jay's  Cooksville Schoolhouse wedding, but they are in Ireland on their honeymoon so we're holding off until they return, until then check out Andrew & Alison's Al Fresco Key West Wedding at Ernest Hemmingway's beautiful home....Have you been to Key West? DO.


Oh and BTW I have some killer destination Wedding specials for the months of January-April- wink..wink...

You know what is great? You don't have to have a "beach" wedding because your at the beach.... 

Alison and Andrew and I did a "day after session "in Key West, messy hair, messy dress & suit, barefoot and running through the streets.

We just received your package last night! How sweet! You made us even MORE excited to work with you! I have been slacking on being a very proactive bride (besides photography). Now I have officially caught the wedding bug, and I am super excited to start planning more! Thank you so much! You are so thoughtful! You are so good about details! ;) I know our pictures will be fabulous! WOOHOO!!!


Have a fabulous day!!

How much do you love her? Do I have great brides or what?!? Here's an example of what package comes AFTER the wedding. Packages that come when you book me are a secret ;)
