I just couldn’t wait to get home from last night’s wedding and start pulling out some of my favorites for a Sneak Peek for today’s blog post.
This was such a fun & exciting wedding! I had a lot of fun shooting a night time ceremony/reception… it gave some really amazing environments.
Enjoy the Sneak Peeks…


(my fav)

ohhhh the anticipation of seeing his beautiful Bride






a fun lil’ photobooth

Josh+Alaina | Caledonia | 7Nov09

I still can’t believe the amazing weather we had for Josh & Alaina’s November wedding… agh… it was amazing!
This was such a beautiful day, with two beautiful people that are incredibly, madly in love with one another.
Enjoy the Sneak Peeks…



The ceremony was at a gorgeous Nature Center, where the possibilities were endless for great shootin’ … trails, ponds, & riverbends … oh my.






I love the chance to add something so different to a couples’ photography when it involves jobs, hobbies, etc… Josh is a proud Caledonia Firefighter. So of course, we had the awesome opportunity to go to the firehouse and play around with some fun things.






We had the chance to stop off at a local pub, and one of the dudes won $100. in pull tabs… when does that ever happen. I personally was very jealous!


Some very, very touching speeches. I was tearing up… which is really no surprise… ha.

Dave+Kerri | Oshkosh | 09.26.09

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009
There are very few words to describe Dave & Kerri’s wedding last Saturday in Oshkosh & Neenah, WI… maybe WOW is a good word.
Well, these Sneak Peeks kind of took on a life of itself and might have become Wedding Sneak Peeks, along with Commercial Sneak Peeks. Confused? Here we go…
Kerri is a fashion designer. (who awesomely used to work for Marc Jacobs… cool… I know). Anyways, she designed her gown… and sewed it… flew all over the world(country) literally… to find her fine fabrics and antique buttons… amazing! So we started super early so that we would have plenty of time to get a mini commercial shoot in to artistically document this beautiful gown.
Enjoy the Sneak Peeks…

Ummm… yeh. Shoes are from London… amazing!

Enjoying some cocktails on the trolley.

Stopped by Leon’s to get some icecream for the wedding party…

Because of this shot- I got a shout out in the Bride & Groom’s toast during the reception… super funny… We were stopped for a train, so we jumped off the trolley to grab some shots… Dave loves dipping his new wife… all over the place… well… he didn’t have that tight of a grip- and BOOM… she went crashing to the ground… cars were honking all over the place because if was seriously hilarious. Don’t worry myself and the videographer documented every moment! – anyways, he told this story during his toast… haha… hence, my shoutout… :)

You wouldn’t be able to tell in this shot, but this was one of my largest bridal parties: 29? I think. (Not shown: one bridesmaid who was literally in labor and rushed to the hospital I think that morning, 4 flower girls, 3 ring bearers, & 2 ushers) haha… awesome time!

I love the unique things couples are doing for ‘the kisses’ during the reception… they had these kazoos at each place setting – to blow away at if you wanted the bride & groom to kiss… not to mention it was a super cute idea to go along with the dressup trunk for their photobooth.

Cake centerpieces… each different flavors to get guests out of their seats and mingle with tables around them to taste the cakes…. very cute!

The middle of the head table had a seperate Bride & Groom table. I thought this was a very cool idea…. and of course I was totally obsessed with the damask theme.

Lam+Melissa | Paine Art Museum | 09.19.09

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

Awww … what a beautiful day at the Paine Art Museum for a wedding… Melissa & Lam’s wedding!

We had so much fun with the couple throughout their engagement and their wedding. They are so crazy in love and love to laugh… a lot!

This venue holds a special spot for Sam & I, as we got married there 3 years ago… so special & magical.

This was an awesome moment. We were doing some bridal shots before the ceremony and out walks Melissa’s dad… having his First Look of his daughter in her beautiful wedding gown. It was so neat to capture these moments between the two of them.


Laughing like usual- but in this case everyone was laughing- there was lil’ fumble with the wedding bands, and there had to be a quick pause in the service to find where they fell too


A very important element to their wedding day was the Chinese Dragon dancers to enhance Lam’s Chinese heritage. What a great idea, and awesome entertainment for their guests.

Celebrating…

They had so much fun with the cake cutting. Nothin’ traditional about these two.

Favors for their guests were fortune cookies & a red envelope. Inside the red envelope were donations for their guests to ‘feed’ the Dragon dancers during their Grand Enterance.

Luke+Jen | Niagra, WI | 09.12.09

Thursday, September 17th, 2009

Luke & Jen were such a blast to be around for their wedding day last Saturday in Niagra, Wisconsin… that’s like… literally… the border of Wisconsin & Michigan… haha. They had a gorgeous day. We were so surprised at how ‘fall’ it is up there already… it was beautiful!

We decided to have a lot of fun with the Preparations, and throw a lil’ Boudoir in there… super fun!
Seriously, there were so many cutesy babies and children… awww… too cute!

So… in love!

This was the cutest! It was a little bit of a travel from ceremony to reception, and a select group of adults could not wait to get off the bus… and this little guy wanted to do everything the men were doing… haha.

= a whole lot of FUN!!!

Dan & Siri | Milwaukee | 08.30.09

Wednesday, September 2nd, 2009
This fun story goes way back to the actual engagement… Dan flew Siri to Thailand to ask for her father’s permission… what a guy… right? And that was the start… or probably more like the middle… of this love story…
This wedding was full of Uniqueness and Tradition…
Enjoy the Sneak Peeks…
One of the bridesmaids asked me to take a photo with her camera… I was trying not to laugh because I thought it was a ridiculously large point & shoot digital camera… I was SO wrong… it ends up it is the coolest looking Polaroid camera ever! haha. Ends up its from Japan… of course.



I absolutely love these random shots down by Lake Michigan with the bikers in the background… pure awesomeness…

At first they couldn’t keep a straight face… then the love trickled in… and it became a magical moment.

The Best man was giving a toast… I normally don’t think these are too Sneak Peek worthy… but… Seriously, the man could not stop crying… Everyone was laughing hysterically… even the Best man… which made it even funnier… laughing… crying… laughing… crying… haha. Great!

These porcelein jars were brought here by the mother from Thailand for every guest to take home with them… so special.

Murray & Kaitlin | Mke Zoo | 09.28.09

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

What a beautiful Friday late afternoon to have held a wedding at the Milwaukee Zoo! I had so much fun shooting the wedding of Murray and Kaitlin… especially because they are crazy in love with eachother.

Enjoy the Sneak Peeks…
This is the beginning of a crazy adventure to find a peacock. Kaitlin’s decor was all about peacock feathers… I mean… everywhere. So it was a definite mission of mine to find one at the zoo for some… ‘portraits’ … We were running after them all over the place trying to get them near Kaitlin & Murray… and at the same time trying to rile them up so all their feathers would burst out (we failed to get a peacock that pissed at us… but still got some amazing frames)

Love champie shots… Love shoe shots…

A very special moment.

Kaitlin gettin’ down on the dance floor… They had a super fun and crazy band that had everyone out on the dance floor the whole night. Awesome!

Thx guys for such an awesome day.

Stephan&Rachel – Downtown Milwaukee – 8.23.09

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

Such an awesome couple… I just love them to death! They are so sweet & so much fun to shoot…

Stephan & Rachel celebrated their marriage this past Sunday at Coast, downtown Milwaukee. What a beautiful sunny day with the weirdest, but GREATEST cool breeze! The perfect August day in my opinion!

Enjoy the Sneak Peeks…

An amazing First Look in front of the historic Milwaukee Art Museum
I loved these shots we got inside of a strange waterfall… we were definitely tresspassing, but come on- anything for the shot, right? haha… we were just finishing up with the waterfall and its surrounding area, when, yup… a security guard came out and booted us out.Awww… daddy giving his little girl away.
Yeah…

What an awesome way to tell your guests where they are seated. These were faux frosted lit vases…. so cool and unique!The bride & groom wrote meaningful letters to their whole bridal party, readers, and other important extras that made their wedding day perfect. It was very touching to see everyone reading their letters at the reception.

Agh… Amazing! We made a beautiful Photo GuestBook for the couple filled with engagement portraits. This was such an amazing way for their guests to see Stephan & Rachel in a totally different light… casual and fabulous!

hehe… Loved getting this shot! Gotta love the iPhones. I think Stephan got a lil’ worried when all of a sudden I was like, ‘Give me your phone’ and then started messing with it… hehe

Beautiful cake!
OMGOSH. OMGOSH. OMGOSH. This was sooo… cool… Mashed Potato Martini Station!!!!!!! So, you could build your own loaded mashed potato creation in a martini glass!
First dance= pure awesomeness! Why??? They played a Kings of Leon song… yeah… I know… how awesome!


Thx Stephan & Rachel.
It was great being a part of your wedding day.

Lk. Geneva – Brian & Jessie – 15 Aug 09

Wednesday, August 19th, 2009

AAAAAwwwghhh… I am so freaking obsessed with Birdcage veils… it’s insane!

I had the great honour of photographing Brian & Jessie’s wedding last weekend in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin.

(Sam just brought to my attention: this is the third ‘Brian’ in a row) – scroll around- see for yourself :)


Love it!

This was hilarious… I had this ‘vision’ – as usual- for this shot. I had my usual wedding outfit of all black with a skirt & leggings. Well to pull this off, I took off my skirt for the bride to lay on… haha… BRIDES that’s how much I care about you – I care about you so much, I’ll start taking clothes off… haha. Perfect! Totally worth it!


22 person wedding party…. and totally crazy-fun!
Thanks guys… we had an amazing tim being a part of your day.
