April and Steven

Kewaunee Baby! That's the photo paradise. Check these sweet shots from my latest victims, Steven and April. Great couple that likes it frisky...my kinda people.

I got a lotta appendage shots this shoot.

Yea, it's a long walk to the lighthouse.

I am just loving the old schoolness of this.

He actually is a tender young man.

Sweet blue windows

Double trouble.

The streets of Kewaunee are picture perfect representative of small town America.

Check out this awesome show.

Maggie and Chris


Fall was in the air on Saturday even though technically the start of the season was today. I love this time of year. Maggie and Chris could not have asked for a more beautiful day. The wedding was in Fish Creek and the reception at Stone Harbor.

Maggie looked amazing. The flowers were vibrant and beautiful.


Chris looks dashing as well. I must say--he is quite the funny guy.


Mark was impressed by this shot of mine so I thought I would put it up and brag about it a little. He gets most of the blog images but now and then I take a picture that he deems "blog worthy". . .


It looks like your typical unity candle lighting and then . . .


Maggie almost burned the church down! I just love the expressions of both of them.


We spent some fun times in between the ceremony and reception experiencing some of the great spots of Door County including the Bay and a beautiful apple orchard.



You really don't get much cuter than this. The flower girl was so sweet. I must say she did some of the best petal distribution I have ever seen.


There were lots of funny characters at this wedding. Here are a few examples.



And some dancin'! The dj was Sound Dimensions who we have seen at a few weddings now and always does a very professional and nice job.

Peter and Aria

I had no idea that Milwaukee had such a cool secret. Even though it rained for a good part of the day...the colors of the Boerner Gardens were outstanding. It was an early ceremony and a wonderful brunch. I found plenty of my kind of people at this party. Just as a side note, this wedding goes down as the most laid back and relaxed ever...not just the bride and groom, but everyone was super chilled.


You know that over the shoulder/behind my back camera work I do? Sometimes it produces.


This is the story of the day. There was a wedding at a garden in the rain. (We were actually inside.)


Gotta love the fiddle...they even played "Old Joe Clark"!


The ring exchange


Aria made all the arrangements and signed all the place settings.


Ah...no rain.





Too cute to not post front and center.


If you want to know what good cake looks like...look down. Oh yeah, that's cheesecake in there.

James and Lauren

"...you never know what your gonna get." - Forest Gump's Mom. One of best parts of what I do is getting to know my clients. James and Lauren came from Santa Barbara for their engagement session, and we had not previously met. So when Lauren suggested we got to this park near here parents house, I was less than optimistic. I really should learn my lesson though, this little park rocks!...No pun intended. It's a river that has super sweet rock walls, and there is also this cool rock quarry. So any way...


These two are the opposite of shy.


I love shooting through stuff...gives depth.



Some spooky halloween light for the upcoming holiday.

Dominick and Molly


So on Sunday, we headed up to the U.P. to shoot a good ole' country wedding at the farm that was anything but ordinary. We finished up fabulously at the Four Season's Club once again only this time the reception was outside. Molly's family has this fantastic farm near the state border. Most of the animals at the farm are actually stuffed (Molly's dad is an international hunter.) I think you will see from the images that this was one laid back kind of day with some laid back people. We had an exceptional time hanging out and just taking some pics of all the amazing details of a day which perfectly reflected Molly and Dominick.

I believe that Dominick had a hand in painting the barn.


Love the contrast of the linens and the grasshopper--kind of a metaphor for the day.

Love Molly's sweet smile.


Chacos make any day more better.

This hippie trio sang as the couple walked down the aisle.


The limo kicking up some dust. Another unique contrast.


Some sweet dancin'




Molly and Dominick keep bees and gave all their guests a jar of honey. This wedding was full of lots of sweet details just like that. Enjoy the show. Thanks for letting us be a part of your day!!
