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:

I wear my heart on my sleeve, my true love on the wall… even when the L is worn and broken, the remaining pieces are strong enough to keep us together.

Becky and Travis – Chicago Engagement Session

The cold wind through the city opens on the empty beach. Empty and peaceful, the seasons are changing… clinging onto the breathe of fall. The air plays on the tips of our fingers and through our hair we feel the stirring peace. Saying goodbye to the beach we make our way back to reality in the midst of the traffic and concrete…

Gwynne and Eric’s Villa Terrace Milwaukee Wedding and Moct Reception

admin — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 05:53:29 +0000

It is late, and I was just too excited to post these images until morning… So what can I say? Gwynne and Eric are awesome, and they have an even awesomer little girl. I met Gwynne back in design school and when she was telling me about her wedding I knew it would be fantastic. When she asked me if I would photograph the wedding, I was ecstatic! Being friends on Facebook, I got to see all the details come together as we got closer to the wedding day… each little detail done (most done by the hands of Gwynne herself) I got more excited for the wedding day. The ceremony took place at the fabulous Villa Terrace and the reception at the cool MOCT down in the Third Ward. They also had a pretty awesome Crazy Booth at MOCT… check that out over here… clickity click

The day was wonderful, and here are a few of my favs:

Rebecca and Brandon’s Rotunda Wedding in Waukesha Wisconsin

admin — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 04:52:37 +0000

Rebecca and Brandon’s wedding = Vintage DIY Fun. Rebecca and Brandon are both out in Cali, but Becca is from Wisconsin. I loved all the details and time the family put into this wedding. Becca is a designer, and she made most of the details such as the centerpieces, guest cards/game books, signs, and needlepoint table numbers… yeah AWESOME! All the flowers were done by the fabulous greenthumbs of Becca’s mother. Just one look at her yard, and you wouldn’t even blink at that task… seriously, I wondered how she had time to do anything else but keep up with all the beautiful landscaping around the house. Seriously beautiful. On top of all the DIY details, the bridal party was super chill, and a lot of fun. A lot of the guys were from out in Cali too, so there was for sure a Cali vibe reverberating throughout the day. Super chill. And even better than that, the light was so good throughout the day. We shot a lot out back of their home, got to stop by Becca’s favorite vintage store; Dime a Dance, and then had the opportunity to work at The Rotunda in Waukesha again. I really like that space. The only snag in the day is when Simon and I tried to park… and the parking structure only took cash… What’s that about, who carries cash? Neither of us… so there we were, sitting at the front of a long line of cars without money, and no one working at the structure. The car behind us was kind enough to lend us $2 to park, so all was ok, and we could get back to work.
