A fabulous, fun, emotional day filled with tears of joy would be my description of Olivia and Evan's wedding. It's truly special to photograph multiple weddings for the same family, you feel like part of the day not just a vendor of the day and when you get a shout out in the welcome speech you know it's an extra special family. I'm so honored to have been your photographer, this was a day of incredible memories!

I feel like I have to preface this wedding with the fact that it was really, really, really hot. Like we're talking 95 degrees and about that much in humidity too, and everyone was outside the entire day with no air conditioning. It's not easy to cuddle, or kiss, even hold hands, or just celebrating in general with that kind of stifling heat BUT that was not at all the attitude on Travis and Larissa's special day. We had such a blast with the wedding party, everyone just rolled with it, excepted that we were going to melt, and made it an absolutely perfect and special day for Larissa and Travis. It was full of so many heartfelt and sincere emotions, genuine joy and love was shared and it was awesome to photograph. At the end of the night we even had some really cool storm clouds roll in for pictures. It was truly a special day and I honored to have shared it, congrats Travis and Larissa!

Last October I had the pleasure of shooting Patrick and Jessica's engagement session in a vibrant and beautiful city of Milwaukee, WI. I knew then that this would such an amazing wedding because these two are so fun, full of life and laughter, and just genuinely awesome people. I don't think I have ever laughed and party as hard as I did with this bridal party. We created some pretty epic memories, and I don't think there was one moment where these two could avoid smiling and laughing together. It was so fun to share and document a day full of awesome moments. I wish you both many wedding journey blessings.

It's a pretty exciting thing for a wedding photographer when you have a bride with a flower crown or a cathedral veil, but when you have a bride with both... it's like wedding photographer mind explosion overload. There was just so much pretty at every turn for this wedding, not to mention a couple that was simply lovely together. Props to Ashley, she is seriously a trooper rocking her stiletto Christian Louboutins all day and even hiked into the woods to get some pictures with the horses we found along our adventures, in said stiletto Louboutins. Couldn't have asked for more, congrats to you both. It was a beautiful, emotional, heartfelt day of celebrating love, I'm honored to have documented it.
