First wedding anniversary photos don't get more romantic than these!

Megs' flowy dress and bouquet, and their perfectly coordinating outfits set the tone for their golden hour portraits at Boerner Botanical Gardens. The fountains, bridge, gazebo, flourishing gardens and open fields all gave us so much variety at one location.

Ken and Stacy had a perfect late summer day for their downtown Milwaukee lakefront wedding! Their ceremony was at O'Donnell Park overlooking the Milwaukee Art Museum and set against the MKE cityscape. They love the views from there, and they chose such a picturesque location for their nuptials!

Our photographer Sarah started their candid coverage as guests were arriving for the ceremony. Love seeing all the joy and excitement on everyone's faces as they mingled and found their seats for the big event!

Kyle and Austin welcomed their second peanut to the family, little baby Howard. His big sister, Eli, was so sweet as she looked at her baby brother, and she was rewarded for her cooperation with a freezepop to conclude their photos! Their dog Skamp gave out sniffs and kisses, too, and Howard showed off his adorable smile a number of times during their newborn session. It was such a joy to capture this exciting time for them all, and their backyard made such a lovely backdrop for all the family snuggles.

Congratulations again, and thank you for the honor of being your photographer!!!

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!

Lexi loves the water - snorkeling, swimming, hanging out on the beach, etc. - so downtown Milwaukee's lakefront made a perfect location for her senior portraits! We had fun making our way around the area to different spots including Lakeshore State Park, Discovery World and the Milwaukee Art Museum, and the variety of backgrounds worked well with Lexi's different looks, too!

We had perfect golden hour lighting that evening, picturesque clouds, a gorgeous sunset, and we also captured some dramatic nighttime photos at the end of her session! It was fun hanging out with Lexi and her mom, getting to know each other and talking tennis :)

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!

Downtown Milwaukee's Lakefront and Third Ward were perfect locations for Nia's senior portraits! She frequents Summerfest and loves hanging out along the lake and in the city. It was fun hearing about recent concerts she's been to and talking about theater!

She plans on going to college for a major in Elementary Education and minors in Psychology and Political Science, and we wish her a wonderful time in pursuing her dream!

George and Pinar had such a picturesque, romantic wedding! They chose Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum for their big day, as they fell in love with the historic venue's architecture, gardens and lake views. It was also the perfect size for their intimate, love-filled wedding.

Our photographer Sandy met up with them at the villa to photograph finishing touches of them getting ready for the big event! The villa's plentiful windows and natural light, ornate wallpaper and historic furniture made a gorgeous backdrop for the exciting moments leading up to their ceremony!

When a couple mentions that one of them is better at shimmying, you put them to the test! 😆 Just one of the highlights from Brian and Emma's engagement session...

We had a perfect summer evening for their Milwaukee engagement photos, and we met up at Lake Park where we had such romantic golden hour lighting. It was fun walking around the park while getting to know each other and talking about their wedding next year!

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!

Christina and Matt are married! Let's tell you a little more about this sweet couple: Matt loves Christina's warm heart (her generosity, kindness, and empathy) coupled with her brilliant and perceptive mind. Christina said that Matt is kind, thoughtful, handsome, intelligent, adventurous, playful. "The total package," she said with a smile :)

The two of them got married at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, where Christina grew up attending, and they chose Villa Filomena for their reception because they loved the character and intimate feel.

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 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

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.

Jake and Jos had a beautiful day for their Madison wedding! They had stunning lake views with their ceremony taking place outside of The Edgewater, and we love how they walked down the aisle together to start the big event!

Coordinating with The Edgewater's Art Deco architecture, Jos, Jake and their guests were right out of a roaring twenties movie with their attire and festive spirits!

Heide and Ryan are in love with everything vintage and mid-century, so they love the history and look of the Mitchell Park Domes where they chose to have both their wedding ceremony and reception. They did a great job of integrating colors and design aesthetics that worked well with the venue and with their own personal touches!

Heide said she loves so many things about Ryan. "He is one of the most talented and creative people that I know. I'm always fascinated with all of the wonderful creative projects he comes up with. I've never found someone that has the perfect blend of liking the same things that I like. He also has a great sense of humor!"

We love McKenna and Santi's story! They met when they were kids through a mutual friend and were friends for a few years before they started dating. The rest is history!

Scarlett is a talented flutist in the marching band (she's marched in our favorite parade, Tournament of Roses!), and (Miranda being a fellow flutist), we had fun talking parades at her senior portrait session!South Milwaukee's Grant Park / Seven Bridges made a picturesque location for her session, and we had beautiful golden hour lighting in the woods for her first outfit.

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!
