Clintonville Fall Wedding – Wisconsin Wedding Photographer – Aaron and Ann

After knowing Ann for several years I was so excited when she got engaged and even more excited when she asked me to be her wedding photographer!!!   Aaron and Ann had a beautiful November wedding day. It was a chilly afternoon but there was a joy and peace surrounding both Aaron and Ann as the got ready for this highly anticipated day. Ann walked down to the strains of a live quartet (3 of whom happen to be my family) and their wedding ceremony was sweet and very meaningful,...

Winneconne Country Engagement Session – Eric & Abby

I was really excited for Eric and Abby's engagement session as we met to do their photos on Abby's family's property, and I always think it's so special to take photos in a spot that's significant to the couple! These weren't just 'some woods' and 'some barn', this was where Abby grew up! Plus, Eric drove us for location to location on a gator which was pretty fun and covered quite in a bit of property in no time at all. We had some beautiful early fall color...

Blue and Yellow Summer Wedding – Oshkosh Wedding Photography – Carl & Katie

Carl and Katie's wedding day may have had to happen a few months later than planned, but it was the perfect day and I was so honored to be apart of it! Katie had such a fun group of girls surrounding her to get ready in the morning and Carl was surrounded by his best guys. It turned out to be a beautiful late August day and everyone was so thrilled for these two to start their lives as husband and wife.   Even in the little moments I got...

Becket’s Oshkosh Wedding – Sarah & Zach

I first met Zach and Sarah for their engagement session HERE and we hit it off right away. Zach and Sarah are such fun, kind people to be around our time flew by! I was so excited to see these two get married. Unfortunately, like many others, they had to move their wedding that was originally scheduled for June, to a new date in August. But they both were very gracious about the added stresses in their wedding planning, and their new date in August dawned absolutely perfect!   Sarah...

Wildflower Anniversary Session – Winneconne Wisconsin – Clay & Gracie

I first met Clay and Gracie almost two years ago this fall when I photographed their engagement session in downtown Madison, where they met while attending UW Madison together. And last summer I got to photograph their beautiful Christ-centered wildflower-themed wedding! We planned a little session this summer which ended up being right after their one year anniversary, which I thought was really special as Clay and Gracie have spent a lot of time apart in their first year of marriage due to work and Clay working towards...

Winneconne Engagement Session – Matt & Bailey

I met Matt and Bailey last summer as they were friends with two of my couples and at both of their weddings. One of my brides introduced us and was telling them what an amazing job I did with her wedding. I remember photographing them dancing together and thinking what a fun couple they were and how fun it would be to shoot their wedding someday. Fast forward almost a year, I was so excited for them when I saw they got engaged in May and even more...

Parker Run Vineyard – Windsor Illinois Wedding – Michael & Emily

All weddings are special, but this wedding was particularly special to me as Michael is my husband’s brother and Emily is one of my dearest friends and now SISTER! Mike and Emily met while he was going to school down in Davenport, IA while attending the same church, (also where Sam and I attended). Mike admired Emily for a while and I got to have a front row seat as that admiration grew on both of their parts and August of 2018 they started they relationship. August 2019...

Cave Point County Park Engagement Session – Door County Wedding Photographer – Zach & Sarah

Zach and Sarah met over 4 years ago in Estes Park, Colorado while attending a two month long music festival. Zach is a composer/percussionist and Sarah is a pianist. During that time they became good friends and later, more than friends. In August of 2019 Sarah and Zach decided to take a trip back to Colorado together and on the last day of their trip they went for a sunrise hike in Boulder, Colorado. Zach proposed to Sarah on the top of a mountain over looking a beautiful...

This June will mark one year since Justin and Tralese's wedding day! Justin has been a friend of my family through having gone to church together years ago and I got to meet Tralese for the first time when we sat down for their wedding consultation. Justin and Tralese make a great team and after shooting their engagement photos I was super excited for their wedding day! Their wedding took place at New Life Church where Justin's family have been longtime members, and where I also attended with my...
