Take a look back at what was an amazing year photographing weddings! Last year, our weddings took us from Milwaukee to the mountains in North Carolina, to the historic Covered Bridge Park in Cedarburg Wisconsin, to the time of the dinosaurs 😉 It was a nearly impossible task to select just some of our favorites from a year of fantastic couples, but here are some highlights to give you a little look at 2023 through our eyes…

You’re getting married - congratulations!!! Engagement sessions are a fun way to celebrate this exciting time and to get to know your wedding photographer! And nothing beats choosing a location that is totally you. Some popular ideas are taking photos where you met or got engaged, but there are lots of options! Here are 22 ideas for an awesome session…

Roxanne + Sharon said the things they love most about each other are their shared laughter, spiritual connection, supporting each other, sharing, and enjoying true love for the first time 🥹 They love gardening, kayaking, concerts, theater, travel, beaches, eating, and spending time with their dog Clifford who wants to part of all the hugs 🥰

It's been six years since I saw this sweet fam, and a lot has changed! Parents Autumn and Jessie, and their kids Alex, Oliver and little Ella met up with me at Grant Park's Seven Bridges, and we had a gorgeous fall day for their session! They boys were full of energy and had fun playing in the leaves and running around, while Ella was taking in all the sights and smells of her first fall season.

Sam wanted a moody "Dead Poets Society" vibe to their senior pictures, and the Milwaukee Public Library was so kind to let us photograph there! Sam told me about their favorite book and they were also excited to find a copy of "Dracula" to incorporate in their pictures. It was so much fun getting to know Sam and photographing them in the golden hour lighting outside, in the picturesque rotunda, and among the stacks!

Dan and Eric had a picture-perfect wedding day, captured by our photographer Sarah. The Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum is like a photographer’s playground, and she had so much fun exploring the Villa and gardens with this sweet and romantic duo.Eric loves that Dan takes good care of him, and Dan said he loves that Eric makes him feel safe. ❤️ Their love just shines through in their photos.

Adam was thrilled to join Luke and Paige in Newland, North Carolina for their mountain destination wedding, which was so personal, intimate, and emotional ❤️

The two of them walked into their intimate ceremony together, which included each guest doing a reading, a very proud little Ring Dog, and a LEGO unity ceremony. Everything was them, 100%!

Do you & your partner want to spend more time together on your wedding day instead of hiding from each other? Do you want to enjoy your cocktail hour mingling & celebrating with your family & friends? Then a First Look may be perfect for you!

A First Look is a great option for couples whose ceremony and reception times are close together. Taking most of your photos before the ceremony allows you to really make the most of your wedding day and of course your portrait time too!

Are you considering getting ready photography coverage on your big day? So much buzz and excitement happens during this part of the day! Maybe you want a lot of coverage or maybe just a little or maybe none at all - We’re happy with whatever you decide! - We want your Getting Ready coverage to be just right for you.

We can arrive at the tail end for finishing touches - adjusting your tie, putting on your veil or jewelry, plus a little fun with those in the room. Or we can start earlier and photograph all the details - your attire, shoes, invitation suite, etc. Then we’ll capture you getting dressed with the help of your most important people and end with some portraits. We recommend 60-90 minutes for full getting ready coverage while 30-45 minutes is usually just right for finishing touches coverage.

Alex & Cole had a perfect late fall day for their wedding that welcomed us into the start of winter with gorgeous, picturesque snow!

Before their ceremony, they exchanged some intimate, private vows. The snow made everything all the more romantic, set against the lake and the balcony of The Riviera Ballroom.

We got to wrap up an amazing year of photographing smiling faces with such a special photo session: Maryana and Messiah's adoption day!

I photographed Jane and Marissa's engagement and wedding in 2019, and I was so excited to hear from them again to capture another beautiful milestone for them.

We're spending a bit of time Reminiscing. We're entering our 16th year in business, we're excited to see our Reminisce team growing, we're thankful for all of our clients who have entrusted us with their memories, and we're so looking forward to artistically and authentically capturing even more weddings for some seriously fantastic couples.

Adam loved photographing Luke and Paige's engagement session, and he can't wait to capture their big day this February in North Carolina!

The two of them met at camp before college started, and they've been dating since their freshman year. They live across the river from Swing Park, so they cross the bridge together often while they head to Brady Street, Lakefront Brewery and Eagle Park. It made a perfect location for their engagement photos!

Megan was a blast to hang out with at their senior portrait session! He brought the style, complete with his amazing yellow jacket, and the colors popped against the lush gardens. They are interested in pursuing landscape architecture, and it was wonderful talking about nature, lawn alternatives and sustainability... right up our alley! Thank you so much for a fun session; I had a great time getting to know you and wish you all the best in your post high school plans!

Cody and Kim had a fantastic late summer day for their outdoor wedding ceremony at Boerner Botanical Gardens! They visited there early on in their relationship and always thought it was a beautiful place that held special meaning for them.

They are such a stylish duo with Kim rocking their strawberry attire and Cody in his emerald green suit, and their wedding party of groomsmen and "babes" also looked fab. Their wedding party was complete with their bubble girl who did such a great job and was all smiles!

When you, your love and your doggie have matching hoodies. 😍 *shout out to Spark Paw *Alex and Cole had a chilly spring evening for their engagement session with our photographer Sarah, but you'd never know it was cold out by looking at their photos! They're so sweet and relaxed with each other, and we love all the fun candid moments Sarah captured!

One of the coolest wedding cakes for an amazingly sweet couple! 🌈 Amanda and Jenn are married!

Our photographer Sarah captured their fun filled day, starting with getting ready coverage, their First Look and some portraits at St Kate Arts Hotel.
