Lexi | Industrial Senior Photos in Milwaukee's Third Ward and Walker's Point

Lexi wanted an industrial look for her senior photos, and Milwaukee’s Third Ward as well as Walker’s Point made fantastic locations for her portraits! We started her session in Catalano Square before making our way around the city to incorporate cream city brick, staircases, ivy, steel beams, the RiverWalk and street views. She loves the environment at cheer practice and spending time with her teammates, so we were sure to include a couple of photos with her letterman jacket, too.

Becky and Lee's Wedding Photos | Polish Center of Wisconsin

Becky and Lee’s wedding was filled with so many beautiful candid moments! A little late-summer heat didn’t get in the way of an amazing day, and it even rained during their ceremony which added such a special ambiance to their vows (and you might have heard that rain on a wedding day is good luck!). Both their ceremony and reception were at the Polish Center of Wisconsin, and guests loved both the convenience and the lovely views of the pond and foliage from the large windows and patio.
