My first love in photography is weddings. I am just a life long romantic! It is a great privilege to share a special day with my wedding couples and their family and friends.
It was the one year anniversary of our per-wedding / engagement session. We met in some beautiful spots around Neenah and enjoyed some time in the warm Fall weather. The leaves were approaching their peak so we used some amazing trees for our background! It is amazing how things can change in so short a time. A year ago they were busy with plans for a wedding and their future together. So many things to decide and March was so far away. Then before you know it the wedding is over and time to start a new life together. And…
Ryan and Kayla were married in the Mitchell Conservatory (The Domes) in Milwaukee. It is such a beautiful setting for a wedding - the beautiful light and all the flowers and greenery around us. Of course, we had an unseasonably hot day so the ceremony was a bit warm! Thankfully Nicole had a short message. The reception was held in air conditioning so we were covered there. My favorite part of the night was couple portraits in the dome close to midnight. Some of the best pictures I've taken! Here is a collection of favorites from the ceremony and reception.…
We met at High Cliff State Park late in the afternoon. High Cliff is one of my favorite portrait locations. It offers a great variety of settings all within a few minutes driving time. Our session started right next to the parking lot then moved into the woods and some of the rock formations. We finally ended up on a hill overlooking Lake Winnebago right at sunset. So our pictures ranged from romantic to fun and quirky, with a few cinematic images at the end. One thing I knew for sure, all the fun and laughter at the engagement picture…
We had a wonderful time on a cold (and a little bit snowy) January day at High Cliff State Park. A few pictures caught the light snow and made a magical setting! Here are some of the favorite pictures of a beautiful couple.

It was a windy wedding day! She and her bridesmaids had a good workout just keeping the dress and veil in place for the ceremony. I've always told brides that they should embrace random things at their wedding. Random things will happen and they actually make your wedding more memorable. No one remembers the perfect wedding - because nothing really happened. But everyone remembers the wedding where the wind blew or it was freezing or the maid of honor fell into the lake! Mind you, I'm not saying it is a good thing that the maid of honor fell into…
I am a certified People Person! Weddings are so much fun because I get to watch people and capture unscripted moments. This little angel was studying a bouquet in the receiving line after the ceremony. Not sure what she was thinking but she looks so adorable in the picture that a million moms would arm wrestle for the privilege of giving her a hug!
