David + Sarah = Downtown Milwaukee Wedding

Not just any downtown wedding, David and Sarah had their wedding at the Pfister Hotel this past Sunday. In my humble opinion, the most beautiful hotel in the Milwaukee Metro Area. From Blu, the restaurant/bar on the top floor overlooking lake Michigan (the bridal prep area) to Room 23 right next door where the ceremony was held, also over looking the lake, to the grand staircase to the Rouge Room where the reception was held, it was a beautiful event to say the least!

Jim + Kristin = Wauwatosa/Milwaukee Wedding

Saturday was Jim and Kristin's "Big Day". It was cold and VERY windy, but we didn't that let us stop us! The ceremony was held at St. Joseph's Catholic Church in Wauwatosa, we then headed to an awesome UWM building for the wedding party photos, then off to Renaissance Place on Prospect downtown Milwaukee. These guys were so great to work with! So laid back and really tons of fun!

Notice the kids peeking out the window...precious.

Joe + Liz = West Allis/Brookfiled Wedding

This past Saturday I had the privilege of photographing my cousin Joe and his new, totally awesome wife Liz's wedding. Their ceremony was at Tabernacle Baptist Church in West Allis. The wedding party then met at Greenfield Park for pictures. Then off to Brookfield Suites for their reception. I can't believe my cousin, who was such a goofball clown when we were little, is married! I have tons of stories about him from our childhood...but I couldn't embarrass him like that. It's tempting though, really tempting!

Congrats to you both! Joe, you've finally met your match!

Dan + Kate = Milwaukee Wedding

Pabst Brewery is where it all happened last Saturday for Dan and Kate's wedding. Such a beautiful venue! The ceremony took place in the courtyard (under a tent because of the rain). It was a fun, laid back wedding...they even had their dog there! So cute! In fact, besides a handful of "posed" pictures done before the ceremony, this wedding was shot entirely photojournalist style.

DJ & April - Waukesha Wedding

Two weekends ago already I was out at the Country Springs Hotel in Waukesha for April and DJ's "Big Day" with the help from Lindsey at Lindsey Z Photography. www.lindseyzphotography.com. It was a beautiful day! The ceremony was held down at the gazebo and then off we went to the fun filled reception. I had a blast laughing and watching everyone dance. AND April and DJ had the most memorable dance thus far! They started off with a slow song and then broke into "Baby Got Back" and followed that with a montage of great dance songs including some MJ, "The Dougie", there was some disco and "Single Ladies" just to name a few. It was quite impressive to watch! And they didn't miss a step! It was awesome!

Craig + Amber = West Bend Wedding

Saturday was Craig and Amber's Wedding. The ceremony and reception took place at the Washington County Fair Grounds in West Bend. We headed to Kettle Hills Golf Course in Richfield for the post-ceremony shots with the wedding party. The forecast called for low 70's and scattered showers but it ended up being sunny and hot! That's Wisconsin weather for you!


Sorry Craig, your sensitive side has been revealed!

Jeremy + Stephanie - A Hartford Wedding

This past Saturday I was out in Hartford at the Shauer Arts Center for Jeremy and Stephanie's wedding. We snuck off to the Bed and Breakfast they were staying for some pictures. Here's a sneak peak of the beautiful wedding!

A few weeks ago I had the privilege to help who I like to call "The Great Sarah Gwidt" from Sarah Gwidt Photography http://sarahgwidtphotography.com/ out with some second shooting for Chris and Amy's wedding up in Steven Point.

Sarah photographed my wedding, so of course I think she's amazing! (see her blog post here)...

She's been my mentor and I'm sad she's no longer doing weddings because it's so much fun working with her and learning from her when I have the opportunity!

Jenny & Paul's Milwaukee Wedding

This past Saturday I had the great privilege to photograph Jenny and Paul's drop dead gorgeous wedding. We were all over the place that day. We started at her sister Kristine's house for hair and makeup in Pewaukee. Then off to Brookfield to St. Dominics Catholic Church were the couple had a full mass. Then, we headed to Wauwatosa for our first post-ceremony stop at the Bluemound Country Club were we took their engagement photos (see here)

Then we were off to the Milwaukee Art Museum downtown where we definitely were not alone. We counted three other wedding's while we were down there. We ended the night at the Milwaukee Athletic Club where they held their reception. Every last detail was beautiful.
