She is one of those people who you feel like you know forever even if you don’t. She is an awesome photographer and a super rad lady (who even says rad anymore?). When she got engaged and her and Ben had a lil sit down and chat with Jake and I about possibly shooting their wedding I was a bit giddy. I knew that she liked our stuff, but to be asked to shoot a wedding for another photographer who’s work I think is pretty great is like baking a pie for your grandma and asking her if it tastes like hers… or something like that.

Katie wanted some fall colors for the shoot and she had the perfect place as well. We went up to an island that Ben’s family has some camping property on and ran around for an afternoon/evening shooting photos. The colors were fantastic and the light was amazing. Early fall light is so good in the Midwest. So golden and so warm. We finished and hopped on the boat to get back to shore and go home. It was a super fun shoot and I could not ask for a better way to spend an afternoon then doing something I love with people who are excited about what I am doing! Love you guys!

I’m from there. Biz and Ian are from there. We are now all in Milwaukee due to our travels and adventures that life has brought us through. I met Biz about a year and a half ago at the gym. She is a Yoga instructor and pretty much rules everything that goes on in the gym. We have talked about her and Ian getting some photos for quite a while and we finally got around to rocking some photos with her and her hubby so that they can fill up some wall space at their new house!!!

From what they wear, to how they deal with pressure, to how they choose to get married. Every wedding is different. Some are reeeeeealy similar, but they still have a bit of the couple put into the wedding and that makes it unique.

Sara and Chris had ideas about how they wanted their wedding day to go and I am glad that Jake and I could be along for the ride. A small wedding at Sara’s fathers house is what they decided on with a larger reception at the Villa Terrace afterwords to celebrate. It was so much fun being about 1/8th of the people who were attending. As they stood on the deck and exchanged vows, it was great to see the emotion and feel it coming from everyone attending.

It was a bit chilly and overcast, but it didn’t rain and we were able to get some really great photos. Here is a glimpse into their small wedding and fantastic reception.

I am working on changing that so there should be quite a few blogs coming out this week. We have a ton of fantastic shoots and get to create so many great photos that I want to share with everyone.

This wedding is from last year in October. These two are fantastic folks that I got the pleasure of going to school with. They are both amazing musicians and are super in love. I was really excited when they asked Valo to shoot their wedding. Cami put a ton of work into her wedding and I hope it shows in these photos.
