Kim and Cody’s Stylish Wedding Day | Boerner Botanical Gardens Outdoor Ceremony

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!

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!

The H Family| Senior Portraits and Family Photos at South Milwaukee's Grant Park

We were so honored when the H Family got in touch with us and said they wanted to make the drive from out of state for us to photograph their family portraits! They loved our work and wanted some creative and fun photos 🥰 After talking about some location options together, we met up at South Milwaukee’s Grant Park (Seven Bridges) where we were able to capture a variety of looks between the woods, bridges, beach and prairie. Their middle kid, Danielle, is also a senior this year so they wanted a bit of a hybrid session to include some senior photos for her, too. And it was wonderful capturing some updated individual portraits of her siblings, Jade and Noah, as well.

Tori and Trisha's Engagement Photos | Milwaukee's Brown Deer Park

It was wonderful getting to know Tori and Trisha! These lovebirds were so adorably affectionate and candid with each other during their engagement session at Milwaukee’s Brown Deer Park. The park’s pond, wildflowers, open fields, woods, willow trees and picturesque bridge made gorgeous locations for their engagement photos, and we had fun making our way around the park. The Fall color was stunning, we had soft golden hour sunlight, the lovely purple asters were in full bloom, and we even saw some cranes. What a perfect evening! We also incorporated some artistic reflections and silhouettes as well as some creative and moody lighting at the end of their session.
