River Club Of Mequon Winter Wedding | Tara and David

David and Tara had a lovely winter day for their December wedding! The day started at @saintkatearts where they each got ready with family and their wedding party. They were both so excited to see each other, and they didn't have to wait much longer!

Soon it was time for their First Look outside of the hotel. Miranda captured a few portraits of the lovebirds along the @milwaukeeriverwalk before everyone made their way to @riverclubmequon for the big event. We love the cozy elegance with the lit candles, and their ceremony was officiated by a friend which made it so personal!

Black Cat Alley Senior Session | Downtown Milwaukee

I met up with Reagan last week for her senior portraits, and we had such a fun evening! She loves the city and is also a painter, so Black Cat Alley made the perfect place to start her photos. We made our way around the East Side and Third Ward, inspired by all the different textures, colors, city lights, and evening sun. Loved creating a look for her that was edgy and outside the box!

She's in her senior year at Whitewater High School and in the process of looking at different options for college. Best of luck, Reagan, and thanks so much for the honor of being your photographer!

Paige and Luke are engaged | Swing Park, Milwaukee, WI

Adam loved photographing Luke and Paige's engagement session, and he can't wait to capture their big day this February in North Carolina!

The two of them met at camp before college started, and they've been dating since their freshman year. They live across the river from Swing Park, so they cross the bridge together often while they head to Brady Street, Lakefront Brewery and Eagle Park. It made a perfect location for their engagement photos!

Golden Hour Extended Family Session

It's always a great time seeing this family! We've photographed senior portraits, cousin mini sessions, and full extended family photos for them - like this session - and it's always an honor.

We met up at Lime Kiln Park in Menomonee Falls, and the trees, benches, bridge, waterfall and downtown buildings all made wonderful backdrops for their photos, complete with lovely golden hour lighting.
