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

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

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.

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 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

gloss — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 19:46:00 +0000

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.
