Jamie & Samantha Engaged

A sweet and cute couple! Many thanks to them both for being able to make it out to The Fuzzy Pig in Whitewater last weekend!

Samantha told me when we first met that she wanted to have a cute vintage type theme to her wedding. I even got to do some online window shopping for RED shoes!!! Ekkk...I love shoes! Well....getting back to wedding talk, I decided it would be perfect to meet at this beautiful antique shop and resturant in Whitewater. It ended up being a perfect backdrop and we had a great time.

So here are a few of my picks from the shoot. Enjoy! September...here we come!!

 Hands down, one of my favorite pictures! ^^^^ Can you tell? It's also the biggest one ;)

 See....look! Aren't they super cute!?!

Also, many thanks to my friend Jill who introduced me to Samantha in the first place. Jill is venturing into the world of wedding planning. And for those who want a wedding planner that is super passionate about it and absolutely loves loves loves everything weddings...she is your girl!

Feel free to contact CLM if you are interesting in booking Jill as your Wedding Planner!!

Victoria & Nick Engaged

One of the last colorful days this year and we were lucky that it did not rain on us ;)

Big congrats to this couple. Both so full of life and so open to new and modern ideas. Victoria is a good friend of Ly's and I was so fortunate to finally meet her in person and be a part of their engagement session.

Victoria has so much style and was more than prepared for the shoot. This made things so fun and always changing.

We started in downtown Milwaukee....big oppsy though. The holiday parade was almost starting and we were stranded on a blocked street. Yikes!  We did finally get out of all the craziness and linked up with our couple at Milwaukee Public Market. After that, it was smooth sailing!

Victoria and Nick, we are so happy that we were given the opportunity to capture these beginning moments for you. Many congrats and the best to you both as you head towards wedding bells!

Savannah & Matt

Congrats to Savannah and Matt. These two are such a great couple. They came out into the cold and even weathered the wind for us. It's amazing that April is so quickly approaching and wedding bells are soon in the air. We are very excited for your wedding day. Can't wait. Congrats!

Sara & Kyle

Smiles, kisses and Wedding Bells!
It was a beautiful day Saturday and we were fortunate to share it capturing Sara and Kyle's big day.  We had great weather and great people. Sara and Kyle were married by her uncle, who happened to be the one that married Sara's parents 20+ years ago!

The ceremony was held is a wonderfully restored chapel that had these fantastic long windows. It was the perfect spot to showcase Sara's dress.

Well now...we certainly can't show you the dress without the shoes! ;)

Shoes really are a girl's best friend. 

They were such a fun and happy couple. Smiling from ear to ear and just enjoying being husband and wife....even with lots of onlookers, these two were not shy. They love each other and will show the world that.

Sara's Mom was so creative. She had her wedding dress taken in and the florist was given permission to take a piece of Mom's dress and use it to create a this stunning floral wrap. It was beautiful and so touching for her to have shared that with her daughter.

The cake was deliciously made by Cakescapes in Appleton. Funny thing...we usually are done in by the cake, but this time around, Sara and Kyle has a candy bar! Oh boy....that was so tempting...that we just decided to give in. Haha!

Thank you Sara and Kyle. You two were amazing and have such wonderful families. We wish you all the best on your new journey together. Congrats!!

Mike & Maria

It was an absolutely beautiful day on Saturday. I was very fortunate to have been asked to help take the lead on photographing this amazing couple. Thank you to Lifetime Image for considering me to help capture this day.

Maria was such a beautiful bride. She is originally from Guatemala and most of her family flew in to help celebrate her wedding day. They were such a lively group and so much fun to be around.

Directly after the ceremony, the couple stepped outside where the clouds had finally blown away and waiting for them were two pure white doves ready for their release. It was a great moment for them and all their guest, especially when they released the other flock of doves that were sneakly hidden behind them.

The entire bridal party was such a blast. As I was placing all the men and little men in the picture....I asked "grandpa" to take a step to his right and everyone busted out in laughter! And yes...he is a grandpa, 15 grandchildren. But they were not acustomed to calling him that. Its a good thing everyone has a sense of humor!!

The day was filled with lots of smiles, laughter and some pretty crazy dance moves =D
All in all, it was a great day and I'm glad I got to share it with two amazing families and two amazing people. Thank you!
