Hannah and Fred’s Fall Wedding Day | Engine Company No 3

Fred and Hannah had a wonderful day for their early Fall wedding! Their romantic First Look took place at The Hank Aaron State Trail where our photographer Sarah captured some portraits of them with their wedding party in the lovely sunshine ☀️

Then they were off to Engine Company No. 3 for the big event! They chose this venue because they loved the brick, the overall feel of the place, and its location in Walker's Point. Their ceremony was filled with so much love! ❤️

Sharon Lynne Wilson Center Wedding | Emily and Christopher

Christopher and Emily had a day filled with so many smiles! I (Miranda) was texting Sarah, their Reminisce photographer, while I was editing them because I was just so touched by all the personal moments! Their grandparents were all key players in their wedding, they had the most delicious looking cookie bar of all time (baked by the women of Christopher’s family), and their centerpieces were gifted by Emily’s students (how sweet is that?!) 🥰

They have so many interests and hobbies in common, but our favorite one listed might be, “Telling our cat, Louise, how perfect and nice she is.” If that gives you any indication of just how sweet and adorable they are... ❤️

Paige and Ethan’s Historic Third Ward Wedding Day | Plant No 4

Ethan and Paige met 13 years ago while they were both in high school. They hung out daily as friends until their friendship blossomed into more one night at Summerfest! They even survived a long distance relationship during their college years, and we were so thrilled to be a part of their wedding day that was filled with so much love, tears of joy, and dancing.

The day started with Paige, her mom, bridesmaids and “posse” getting ready at a bnb in the Third Ward. Then getting-ready coverage continued at their venue, Plant N° 4, with Ethan and the guys hanging out in the Bianco Room. Soon it was time for their romantic First Look along Milwaukee's RiverWalk! Their reactions to seeing each other were priceless, and then we captured some portraits along the way to meeting up with their wedding party. Such a fun group!

Karli and Luke’s Winter Wedding | HUBBARD PARK LODGE

Karli and Luke love going for hikes, taking their dog for walks, sharing cozy nights in, and enjoying a campfire, so the atmosphere of Hubbard Park Lodge was perfect for their wedding ceremony and reception! They love the rustic feel and natural elegance of the space.

These two are just so sweet! Luke love's Karli's persistence and that she's kind, sweet, generous and family-oriented. Karli love's his sense of humor, that he likes to teach himself new skills, and that he's caring, nurturing and family-oriented as well! They're such a wonderful match

M and Sara’s Intimate Fond du Lac Wedding

M and Sara have just the sweetest proposal story! M had a friend take pictures of them posing with a little whiteboard saying, "Will," "You," "Marry," and, "Me?" and was proposing with the ring in the "Marry" photo. They then used these as each of the four suits in a custom deck of cards. M stacked the deck during a game of cribbage while they were on a picnic by Lake Winnebago, and when Sara looked at her hand and saw the proposal, M pulled out the ring and got down on one knee. And full circle, since the two of them got engaged by Lake WInnebago, that's where they decided to have their wedding!
