Kate and Ben’s Hubbard Park Wedding

admin — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 05:26:49 +0000

Tucked away in the woods, warm and cozy, two of the kindest souls I have ever had the pleasure to meet celebrate the first day of their lives together. I was lucky enough to be there to capture the day…

Kate and Jason’s Marcus Center for the Performing Arts Wedding

Jason, now that your wedding is over, you are free to grow the most amazing mustache that has ever been grown…

Kate, I am sorry about that.

We met Kate and Jason last November, and Jason was working on a killer stash for Movember. Simon and I, of course, tried to convince him to keep growing his mustache until the wedding… and I think that almost lost us this wedding Kate and Jason heard about us because Kate was in Liz and Dave’s wedding… which I had the honor of shooting about a year ago. It is such an honor when someone that works with us on another wedding or project hires us for their own wedding or event. It means a lot and I think it speaks to the experience and product we provide.

Jason shaved for the wedding, so he looked good. Kate needed nothing, she already looked good and was ready to go. Take a look at some of my favorites from their day:

Gretchen and Scott’s Pier Wisconsin Milwaukee Wedding

admin — Tue, 20 Sep 2011 19:34:23 +0000

The day’s schedule was tight, and we didn’t have a lot of time for the family formals. So I set up an impromptu photo booth at the reception so we could grab a few more group shots. Whenever you mix a photo-booth with Valo, though, you always end up with a Crazy Booth!

The night started out with casual human pyramids, which quickly escalated into a more formal and much more serious round of human pyramids, ending in an epic 10 person pyramid with no one else but the bride, Gretchen, on top!

Kat and Nick’s Harbor Lights Room Milwaukee Wedding

Kat and Nick were planning on an outdoor wedding… Mother Nature had other plans… so she rained all day. It didn’t faze Kat and Nick though… their day was still an Amazing load of Awesome! Simon and I were there for the ride, and this is what we came up with:

And what set of serious awesome-ness would come without a side of Crazy Booth?

Marie and Matt’s Pfister Milwaukee Wedding

Ok… so there is a lot of images below… just a warning… but if you take a look here are just a few things you will see:

The largest bouquets I have ever seen… and AWESOME!
An amazing vintage inspired dress that looked so good at the Pfister, I almost fell over… wait, no, I did fall over.
Dudes stuck in a nursery… with miniature chairs and all
Bride and FOB high five before the wedding
Limo Miller Lite throws
Awesome portraits at the beach
The best cake cutting ever… Cake/Cut/Kiss combo… and a strong arm to cut through the thick bottom layer
A full on DANCE PARTY (see video at the end of the post)

Congratulations Matt and Marie!

Oh yeah… so one of the brides maids was also in our Saturday wedding… two weddings, two days in a row, both at the same location… we rocked both of them… and so did Maria! Maria and I decided to make an identical (or as close as we could get) photograph each night… Same place, different dress!

And one last thing…

Jen and Will – Pier Wisconsin Wedding

admin — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 04:23:31 +0000

Jen and Will are from the East Coast, but were getting married in Wisconsin… On a boat! They met each other when they were helping to build the very boat they were married on, The Denis Sullivan. The day started out great, when we went to make some portraits and noticed they were both wearing hiking boots! AWESOME! When asked if they would mind walking out into a field, they just looked down at the boots and we all laughed. I think at one point I heard Jen say “Oh cool, my dress is getting a little dirty…” as grasshoppers were flying out from under her as she walked through the field… I knew this was going to be a good day. From there the day only got better… Wedding on the Denis Sullivan, Reception at Pier Wisconsin with a ton of handmade AWESOME-NESS, custom napkins for people to take home, a photo place-card wall where people matched the photo on their card to the photo on each table, prairie grass center pieces that fit perfectly with the surrounding of Pier Wisconsin, KITE FLYING, Frogwater, awesome food by Bartolottas, amazing family and friends, 7 CAKES (Simon’s favorite part, I think), great weather, and sweet sweet light…

Here are some of my favorites from Simon and I throughout the day:
