Winery Engagement Portraits | Vanessa & Sean

As soon as Vanessa and Sean let us know they were hoping to have their engagement session take place in a winery, we were immediately 110% on board! On a crisp fall day, we met the two of them just outside of Madison for their engagement photos and had the best time working our way around the property together. The way Vanessa and Sean make each other’s smiles light up had us smiling behind the camera, and we are so looking forward to their wedding this October at the Grain Exchange!

MADISON WI ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER | MELISSA & BRANDON!

It was a rainy morning, and we fidgeted in our desk chair as we contemplated what the weather might be like in Madison around 4:00pm. Melissa & Brandon were likely doing the same thing! After a series of emails bouncing back & forth from our inbox to theirs, we decided to just go for it!! With coffee in hand and a looming threat of rain ahead, we packed our cameras & wellies and pointed our car south. When we arrived to Maple Bluff Beach the fog was so deep that you couldn't even see the Capitol, which is usually in clear sight from the beautiful shoreline! But we were so excited when the almost-eerie scene made for the most incredible photos!!

Melissa & Brandon are adorable together. She's a pint-sized happy little lady, and Brandon had no problem wrapping her up to keep his bride-to-be warm. Aside from music & singing, one of Melissa & Brandon's shared passions is beer. They brew their own and we wouldn't be surprised in the least if someday these two will open up their own brewery! Atop a blanket made by Melissa, they cheers'd and enjoyed a pint from Capital Brewery in glasses carefully selected for the occasion by Brandon. :)

This damp Wednesday evening in Madison left all four of us even MORE excited for Melissa & Brandon's June 2014 wedding at the Rothschild Pavilion! Cheers to many good things coming soon!!

Love | Kelsy & Butch
