Is A First Look Right For You?

Do you & your partner want to spend more time together on your wedding day instead of hiding from each other? Do you want to enjoy your cocktail hour mingling & celebrating with your family & friends? Then a First Look may be perfect for you!

A First Look is a great option for couples whose ceremony and reception times are close together. Taking most of your photos before the ceremony allows you to really make the most of your wedding day and of course your portrait time too!

5 Tips To Make The Most Of Your Getting Ready Photos

Are you considering getting ready photography coverage on your big day? So much buzz and excitement happens during this part of the day! Maybe you want a lot of coverage or maybe just a little or maybe none at all - We’re happy with whatever you decide! - We want your Getting Ready coverage to be just right for you.

We can arrive at the tail end for finishing touches - adjusting your tie, putting on your veil or jewelry, plus a little fun with those in the room. Or we can start earlier and photograph all the details - your attire, shoes, invitation suite, etc. Then we’ll capture you getting dressed with the help of your most important people and end with some portraits. We recommend 60-90 minutes for full getting ready coverage while 30-45 minutes is usually just right for finishing touches coverage.

Rainy Fall Family Session | Boerner Botanical Gardens

It was fun meeting up with the V family this Fall for portraits of them at Boerner Botanical Gardens! Their littles, Arthur and Sophia, are so sweet! Parents, Angela & Tristram, described their family as "chaos & cuddles," which is just adorable.

The weather shifted that day and ended up calling for rain, but they didn't mind having fun in the sprinkles, and they decided to still do the session. The rain gave such a fall mood to their photos- love it!

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!
