Category Archives: Weddings All weddings are unique in one way or another, and most brides and grooms spend lots of time figuring out ways to make their wedding “their own.” For some it’s as simple as personalized decorations. Others make nearly every detail of the day a reflection of their personalities. For Beth and Dan, their faith is...  I’ve been doing a lousy job of sharing photos lately. What can I say, with two little kiddos and a full plate of work, I’m not sure where time goes these days. Seriously, I can’t believe it’s August already! I was so excited last night to take a look at some of the photos from...  Here’s just a quick post with a favorite image from yesterday’s wedding while I get prepped for today’s wedding. I love what I’ve been doing lately with brides and grooms and wedding parties. I feel like I’ve grown quite bit and become more comfortable using creative lighting, energetic posing, and off-road locations. I still have...  I photographed Tom and Ingrid’s wedding on Saturday. I arrived at the church well before everyone else, and I scouted around for good light, interesting backgrounds, textures, etc. As I walked out the back of the church I spotted out of the corner of my eye the steps leading up to the balcony. They passed...  When I came into Melanie’s room at the Concourse Hotel in Madison there was a mini swarm of activity. She had just gotten her dress on and her bridesmaids were finishing up some final touches on it. I love the colors here – the warm light above the mirror and the blue from the window....  Here’s some more from Abby and Brad’s wedding on the north shore of Lake Superior. Enjoy! Stay tuned for more!  ***So there was just too much cool stuff from this wedding to contain in one post. Here’s part one. Enjoy and check back soon for more!*** Abby and Brad’s wedding was one we were especially looking forward to, partially because Abby and Brad are such wonderful people and a sweet couple, but also because of...  I knew Kelly and Rick’s wedding would be something special, partially because their reception was held at the Fox Cities Performing Arts Center in Appleton. It’s a spectacular space by itself, but then add in all the decorations for their reception and it all looked simply amazing! As an added bonus we were actually able...  I’ve seen many brides give their husbands-to-be gifts on their wedding day. Usually it’s a nice watch or some other manly jewelry. After their “first-sight” moment Laura gave Mike a Mr. Potato Head, which at first puzzled me a little, but then I remembered that Mike does research on spuds at the UW. Then it...  What a weekend! Here’s a sneak peek at my Saturday with Meaghan, Mike, and their wonderful family and friends. I’ve got so many great shots it was really tough to just choose a few! Enjoy – more to come soon from Sunday!  This wedding was a long time in the planning for Kristine & Brian – they booked us about 18 months before their wedding! Everything turned out spectacular! Their ceremony was in the amazing St. Francis Xavier Cathedral in Green Bay, and their reception was at the Lambeau Field Atrium – naturally a great location! I...  I’m photographing Kristine and Brian’s wedding tomorrow in Green Bay, and their reception will be held at the Lambeau Field Atrium. I’ve been here a few times before for receptions and not only is the location spectacular, as you would expect, but the staff here does an awesome job too. I’ll be starting shooting early...  Photographing weddings in March can be an interesting proposition in Wisconsin. One needs to be prepared for any kind of weather. I watched the forecast a little closer than usual in the days leading up to Saturday. Rain was the word for Saturday … that is until Saturday morning when I saw “Sunny and 58″...  Heidi and Tommy were married in La Crosse on Valentines Day. I hadn’t traveled to La Crosse for a long time, so it was nice to get a chance to drive up there again. Heidi and Tommy are such sweet, down to earth people. It wasn’t surprising at all to see the church overflowing with...  I got to return to my old stomping grounds in Oshkosh for Terri and Jonathan’s wedding. Their wedding was at Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Oshkosh and their reception was at Bridgewood Resort in Neenah. One of the most fun parts of the day for me was visiting Oblio’s with the wedding party after the ceremony....  Laura and Kevin had a spectacular wedding, but before I dive into that I wanted to take a quick moment to thank them personally. Their wedding was on November 29th and it was the last wedding I photographed before Nissa arrived. Between Nissa’s arrival and a couple of other winter projects I have going on,...  Cindy and Jason’s wedding was a unique one for us, mostly because Val and I traveled to up-state New York for it. Traveling can always be hectic, but there’s some added stress when traveling with lots of expensive camera gear. Everything went well though, and Val and I had a great time. Valerie’s sister was...  It’s always cool when I go to a wedding and see familiar faces, and at Sarah and Andrew’s wedding I saw lots of them. Some past clients, some future clients, and some previous wedding party members of those clients. Sarah and Andrew really made the day great for me though. They were so easy going...  So obviously this wedding and the few that will be coming soon are well past due, but after Nissa’s birth I felt it was important to take the time I needed to devote to her and Valerie. Things are slowly starting to normalize a bit though, so I hope to be getting gradually back into... |
