Eric and Sally – E-Session – Milwaukee


I got the honor of taking my brother-in-law and soon to be sister-in-law’s engagement photos. They are getting married in the spring next year at the Astor hotel and it is gonna be awesome. We walked around a bit by Lakefront Brewery then went to the Third Ward for some drinks and a few more photos. It was super chilly, but they worked it, were silly, and made some photos.

OMG. Amazing light. Amazing people. Aaaaaaand, I am pretty sure these two are fantastic.  Can’t wait to shoot their wedding next year.

Ben and Kerry – E-Session


Sometimes you shoot a session and it is tough to pick the proofs to show the couple because there are so many fantastic photos. The light was right, the couple was fantastic, and the location was great. Other then gettin up at 5 in the morning, the shoot was great. Jake is much better at early then I am. Check out the fun we had.

Drew and Vanessa – E-Session


Some days are great for taking photos. Other days are not so great… We scheduled Drew and Vanessa’s engagement session and Mr. Weather man told us that we should think about picking a different day.  We met early in the morning hoping to get the shoot finished before the rain came out, but had no such luck.  We left and planned on coming back later if the rain stopped.  As the day went on, the rain tapered off and the sun came out.  The weather changed for the best and the photo session was on!

We went to one of my favorite places to take photos, Havenwoods State Forest, and tromped around the fields tucked away in the middle of Milwaukee.  Jake and I were having a field day with the light and the couple. They both were having a good time and so were we, which in turn, gives us great natural expressions and moments to capture.  Check out Jakes version of the shoot HERE, and enjoy my photos below:

Sneak Peek 2 – Drew and Vanessa – E-session


I figured since Jake posted two sneak peeks (One and Two), that I needed to as well… Here is the second take on our rained out E-session with Drew and Vanessa that we shot later in the evening.  The weather was amazing and the light was perfect (even though the bugs were horrid).

Ian and Kyle – E-Session


Ian contacted me a little less than a year ago about his wedding.  I was just getting use to my iPhone and was figuring out how to send emails back and forth… (sorry for the randomness).  We met, talked, and then he got a contract back to me and we began talking about shooting his engagement session.  The problem was that Kyle was living in Minneapolis at the time and going to school at the University of Minnesota.  We tried a couple of times to get the shoot done, but either I was gone when she visited, or when I was in Minneapois, she was in Wisconsin.

A few weeks ago we were finally in the same place at the same time and so we were able to shoot the engagement photos.  We met pretty close to the U of M and wondered around for a while.  There are lots of great places to shoot over there and here are a few of the photos we took.
