2009 has been such a great year, and 2010 is going to be even better. 2010 is the year to “Go BIG or go home”… I don’t want to “go home” just yet, so I think I will go big. 2010 will be an interesting year for Valo. It is already shaping up that way, and I can’t wait. Keep your eyes peeled here on my blog and on Simon’s blog…
So, the first blog post of the year is a big one. The super fun wedding of Cassie and Shawn. Simon and I shot their wedding last year at the Eisner Museum, in the Historic Third Ward of Milwaukee Wisconsin. I knew their wedding was going to be fun after shooting an engagement session with them… Just all around fun, easy going, fashionable and good looking people…
So here are some images, Chuck Taylors and all…
We met up with Dana and Nick at the Orpheum early on a Saturday morning. We went from there and ran around Madison’s State St making some photographs of the two of them. Tons of fun to work with, check out some of the photos from the day:
Krista and Matt got married at the Milwaukee War Memorial right next to the Milwaukee Art Museum (MAM). It was a great setting, a great day, and a lot of fun. I was lucky enough to be there shooting with my man Mr Simon McConico. I love photographing weddings, check out some of the pictures I made:
Holly and Chad, thank you for having Valo Photography be part of your wedding day.
What can I say about Holly and Chad… A lot, they are a ton of fun and so very much in love… buuuut, instead of me going on about how wonderful they are, check out some images from their wedding day:
About two weeks ago Simon and I had the chance to work with a charming girl named Bai (pronounced “bay”). Her name is short for Bailey, but it is cool none-the-less. The young film enthusiast, future film maker said she wants to create movies that make you want to kill yourself… Not literally, but depressing type movies… She told us this when we were talking before the shoot at the Alterra Foundry. I knew after that short introduction conversation that we were going to have to be a little more gritty than some senior shoots. We headed out into the urban setting of the 5th ward of Milwaukee, WI and started shooting…
This is my take on the day. A little grit, a little urban, and a few smiles for mom…

I have known Abby for a while, so I was very honored that her and her now husband Andrew choose Valo Photography as their wedding photographers. For this little sneak peek at the wedding, I thought I would post some getting ready shots. I love when I can be with the couple all day, it lets everyone that is in the wedding warm up to me, it lets me meet all the brides maids and grooms men early on, that way later in the day they know me a little better… Another reason I love being there for the whole day is that the before hand photos tell the beginning of the story for the day, they set the stage, if you will. And lastly, the groom gets to see his bride, and the bride gets to check out the groom… They get to see each others nervous laughs and gestures and see what their other half was doing before the wedding… Anyways, enough talking, here are some before shots of Abby and Andrew:
Bai was a ton of fun to work with. She was looking for something different, something a little rock star… Wanting something a little bit different, I thought I would play around with some heavy edits. Playing with light mixed with some post processing. This is way more than I usually do with a photograph, and it was more for fun than anything… The rest will probably be more photographic, and less post, but I thought I would share my experiment here.

Christina and Brent were married in Minneapolis, and Simon and I were lucky enough to be there to photograph their day. Extremely fun wedding, tons of smiles, laughing non-stop, party buses, jumps in the park, dancing, partying, dancing and more partying…
