I really hate cloudy days. I do. I love sunny and bright days, but in the Midwest, that is something that is few and far between. For Amy and Buster, at least the rain held off, and not only did they show up, they also worked the mess out of the cloudy day.
Jake and I love to travel to shoot weddings and, even though its not out of state, we are stoked to be going up to Door County to shoot their wedding. The trees, landscape, derelict buildings, and water make Door County a perfect place to have a wedding and photograph a wedding.
Anyoldways… We ran around the Third Ward in Milwaukee and had so much fun it should be illegal. We stopped in front of Centanni, the place they had their first kiss and ran through back alleys and used the Cream City brick as our backdrop. Check out the photos and let me know what you think!













P.s. I want to shoot a wedding in South Dakota (I know there really isn’t anything out there, but what the hey, could be cool eh?)

I really love shooting engagement sessions for a few reasons. One, there isn’t a ton of pressure on the photographer. Two, there isn’t a ton of pressure on the couple. And three, it gives the couple a chance to see how the photographer works and gives them an opportunity to trust that the artist is going to capture them in a flattering way.
Well, Andrew and Abby needed no help from my camera or me to be flattering. They were a great looking couple that showed up and were ready to have fun. Jake and I thought that the Third Ward would be a good place to shoot, so we met them right by the Milwaukee Public Market. From there we wandered around the streets, jumping on things, going in and out of alleys, and even jumping in fountains. There were so many opportunities to make great photographs that it was hard to whittle down this post to the size that it is (and it is still big). I am excited to shoot this couples wedding because I know it is going to be fantastic and so much fun to shoot.
