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!
Elise and Patrick’s Westmoor Country Club Wedding day
Congrats, Elise and Patrick! Our photographer Sarah recently captured the perfect day for these two, and we're all about the cozy romance and elegance of their winter wedding. From the dark woodwork to a wall of roses and stunning floral designs, all the details came together perfectly. They've been together for a long time and met through their parents who are friends- we just love how close they all are! Congrats again, so happy for you both ❤️❤️❤️
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
Amanda and Jenn’s Downtown Milwaukee Wedding | St Kate Arts and The Sixth Floor
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.
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!
Daniel and Margaret’s Spring Wedding | Lake Windsor Country Club
Daniel and Margaret met serendipitously when they lived in the same apartment building. Margaret's roommate and Daniel ran into each other in the parking garage, and Daniel and his roommate invited Margaret and her roommate over for dinner. The rest, as they say, is history!
Laura and Tim’s Racine, Wisconsin Wedding
Laura and Tim met in high school on a bus to a Model OAS informational meeting and stayed on Model OAS and Model UN teams throughout high school. After Tim graduated, he and Laura started dating, and Tim was also Laura’s prom date! Their journeys in life have had twists and turns, and we just love their history and how everything came together perfectly! They two of them shared their wedding day in Racine, surrounded by many of their loved-ones including Laura’s son Quinn and Tim’s son Noel, and our photographer Sarah loved photographing so much joy!
Michael and Yeimidy’s Third Ward Wedding Photos | Onesto, Milwaukee
Last year we had the pleasure of photographing Part 1 of Yeimidy and Michael’s wedding: an intimate backyard ceremony as they held off on a larger celebration due to COVID-19. Fast forward to last month, it was wonderful working with them again to capture another ceremony and blessing with them surrounded by some of their nearest and dearest, followed by SUCH a fun reception with plenty of dancing! The day started at Dubbel Dutch, a boutique Milwaukee hotel where our team photographer Joshua met up with the two of them as they got ready for the big event.

What a beautiful moment.
Chris and Sarah | Creative Wedding Photos at The Rave: Eagles Ballroom, Milwaukee
At the end of Summer, our photographer Sarah captured Chris and Sarah’s engagement session, and she was so looking forward to photographing them again on their picturesque wedding day! She first met up with them at The Ambassador Hotel - a Milwaukee Landmark and Art Deco masterpiece - for their romantic First Look. They were so excited to see each other! Afterward, Sarah captured some romantic portraits of the two of them with the stunning architectural details and then then headed over to their ceremony and reception location, The Rave / Eagle’s Ballroom (another fantastic historic landmark!).
Elise and Sean | Jan Serr Studio Wedding Photos
Elise and Sean’s early Fall wedding day was filled with so many heartfelt moments, tears of joy, and pure fun. Their day started at the Hyatt Regency where our team photographer Lisa met up with them to photograph the finishing touches of them getting ready for the big event. We love the emotion that swept over Elise as she reached for her wedding dress. And the moments of them reading each other’s letters were so sweet and sentimental! Soon it was time for their romantic First Look on the picturesque bridge of the Milwaukee Art Museum. Big hugs, smiles and kisses were followed by a fun portrait with their wedding party before heading to the church for their ceremony.
Kyle and Rachel are Married! | Dusk Elopement at Lion's Den Gorge Nature Preserve
Kyle and Rachel got engaged a couple of years ago, and they were ready to make things official; instead of a traditional wedding, these sweet lovebirds decided to elope! They live in Grafton, Wisconsin and love exploring Lion’s Den Gorge Nature Preserve together with their toddler, Emerson. Since this beautiful spot is a part of their lives, it was the perfect place for their romantic elopement. We first connected over the phone to plan things out together, and on the day of everything went swimmingly! It was an honor to be both photographer and witness 💗

Speaking of wedding parties, the two of them and their attendants were SUCH a stylish group!
