WOODSY WAUSAU ENGAGEMENT | JODI & BRENT!

We are SOOOO excited to share Jodi & Brent's engagement session with you today!!! If you could only see how adorable these two are together in real life, you'd have sore cheeks from smiling with/at them non-stop! :D At least, that's how we felt after spending an evening with them in the woods! Jodi & Brent are fantastic photographers, and that made us even more excited/nervous for their session – but at the same time, we knew that they truly value photography and we had an absolute blast creating these photographs with them! We adore the two of them and feel very lucky to know them not only as peers in our industry, but as friends too :)

Jodi & Brent are getting married this September in Wausau and we cannot WAIT to be a part of their day!! Thank you two for such an awesome session – you were up for absolutely anything, and we hope you love these images!!

FIGGE ART MUSEUM DAVENPORT IOWA WEDDING | JEANNE & DAN!

Jeanne & Dan both have that personality. They're as genuine as they come, and they also happen to be one of the cutest couples ever!! These two both radiate happiness & sincerity, and are full of personality! As Jeanne & Dan's wedding approached, the most important part to the two of them was that all of their loved ones were there and that each one of them enjoyed being a part of their day. From the modern feel of the Figge Art Museum to the charming farmer's market flowers (in vases that Jeanne collected especially for their celebration with her Mom & sisters!) and the classic style they brought to their day with cumber buns & bow-ties (our FAVORITE!!), we have no doubt that they achieved just that! Their cocktail hour and reception were filled with more laughter and energy than we can possibly describe with words, and the dance floor was jam-packed all night long!! In our minds, Jeanne & Dan's wedding day really was perfect (even with the rain!) and we feel truly privileged for capturing so many beautiful moments for the two of them and their wonderful friends & family. Thank you guys so much!! :)

DOOR COUNTY WEDDING | BRITANIE & STEVE

A wedding in beautiful Door County WI when the trilliums are blooming is what we would call a dream wedding! Britanie & Steve were married on May 18th in Sturgeon Bay and their day couldn't have been more perfect. Britanie slipped into her wedding dress at her parents' house (on Trillium Lane!) with the help of her favorite ladies, and from the moment her dress was on, so was her smile! Britanie seriously couldn't be seen without a smile on her face all day long. We aren't sure what's more contagious than a glowing-happy bride with genuine emotion written all over her face! Brit brought the smiles right out of Steve ,and we feel so lucky to have documented their wedding day!!

PIER WISCONSIN MILWAUKEE WEDDING | ZAINAB & MICHAEL!

Zainab & Mike have one of the most unique & adorable love stories we have ever heard, and there wasn't a face without a smile as it was recalled on their wedding day! They both share a passion for traveling & exploring, and their paths crossed when they decided to attend medical school in St. Maarten. Can you imagine a more beautiful place to earn your degree than the Caribbean?!? Zainab, already on the island, received an email from a friend saying that Mike would be arriving to attend med school, just like her! She also mentioned that she had arranged for Zainab to pick Mike up from the airport to show him around, suggesting that they might hit it off ;) Mike sent a photo so that Zainab would recognize him and, after sharing it with friends, it was agreed that he was very cute! Zainab & Mike immediately had a connection, and it continued to grow as they explored the island and endured med school together.

Having met in paradise, we are certain that their wedding day in Milwaukee was equally as beautiful!! Zainab & Mike's ceremony included the perfect blend of Persian and Jewish traditions – our favorites being the honey they tasted off of each other's fingers for sweetness & happiness, and of course the breaking of the glass followed by a loud and heartfelt "Mazel Tov"!

Zainab & Mike, photographing your beautiful wedding was both a pleasure and a privilege!! We cannot thank you enough, and are so happy for the two of you! :)

ELEGANT MILWAUKEE WEDDING | LAUREN & RYAN

From the moment we arrived at the Hilton in downtown Milwaukee, the energy and excitement that both Lauren and Ryan (and their awesome family/bridal party!) had set the tone for an amazing day! Lauren was absolutely radiant. Together, her and Ryan made an elegant & classic bride and groom :) Both Marquette alums, it only seemed fitting to tie the knot at Gesu – an absolutely stunning church to say "I do!"

Lauren & Ryan had originally planned an August 31st wedding, but in January they found out that literally ALL of the hotels in Milwaukee were booked for a Harley Davidson anniversary celebration. It definitely speaks to their character that they were quickly able to refocus and plan for a May wedding :) Everything happens for a reason, and that statement couldn't be more true to these two! This wedding was beautiful from beginning to end, and we are so grateful to have captured Lauren & Ryan's absolutely classic day!
