Abby and Andrew – Part 2 – Milwaukee Waukesha Wedding


Abby and Andrew – Part 1 – Milwaukee Waukesha Wedding


I often think about fortune, about what it means; is it just a monetary value? To me it is not. To me fortune has nothing to do with money, wealth, material possessions, vanity, or anything of the sort. When I really think about it, fortune is happiness. Fortune is something different to everyone, since happiness comes in so many different forms. I do think, however, that Abby and Andrew have found their fortune in each other. Their love is obvious, infectious, and fun. They are so happy around each other, so free, so open. It was an amazing day, and because it was so amazing, I am going to have to make a 2 part post. I could not pick just a few photos to share from this day.

Another reason this 2 part post is so long is that I got to spend almost the whole day with Abby and Andrew, which is a treat. I usually do not get the luxury to spend a whole day with a couple. Yes, it is more work, but since there is more time spent, there are many more opportunities to create a photograph. It also allows a more complete story to be captured, from the nervous looks and sighs while getting ready right down to the dancing at the end of the night…

Thank you Abby and Andrew for letting me be a part of your day. Here are a few of my favorites:

Kerry and Ben – Milwaukee engagement session down by Lake Michigan


Simon and I woke up very early to meet Kerry and Ben down by the Calatrava addition to the Milwaukee Art Museum. We wanted to catch the morning light, and it was so worth getting up a few minutes earlier than normal…

I really love when I am going through proofs and making my selections, when it is really hard to narrow things down because there are so many good shots. That is what happened here. I think it was because of the light as well as the willingness of Kerry and Ben to relax and have fun… It made for some fantastic photographs…
