Lisa and Josh – Pfister Hotel – Wedding
So… sometimes people find us in odd ways. They hear of Valo from a friend of a friend of a friend who knew me 5 years ago and we played a basketball game together. This is much more odd. Jake and I were shooting a wedding at the Intercontinental Hotel and went to Blu on top of the Pfister to shoot some photos with our bride and groom. The bridesmaids got the bride and disappeared. That isn’t totally abnormal, but when your looking for them and not one is around in a not so large place, it gets confusing. Eventually a bridesmaid runs into the bar and grabs me and drags me into the ladies bathroom… to take photos because there are awesome windows and amazing light. All the ladies were in there and I snapped a few photos and was in the middle of rocking some shots with the bride when someone walks in. Not a part of the wedding party, it was a little odd… She walks in, looks at me, looks at the bride, looks at me. Simon “uh… were taking photos because the light is awesome…” Her “Oh… cool, do you have a card? I’m getting married here in a few months”
That was how I met Lisa. Super funny story. Fast forward a few months and we are shooting Lisa and Josh’s wedding at the Big Red Church right next to the Marquette campus and having a reception at the Pfister Hotel downtown. The wedding was super fun, great light, and shared a bridesmaid with the wedding that we shot the day before.
Lisa is awesome! Josh is awesome! and oh yeah… thanks to the grooms men who got us shots in wine glasses…

Claire – Portrait Session – Valo Photography
I don’t get a chance to photograph kids much. We don’t really market ourselves toward that, but when I get a chance to make some photos with people under the age of 16 it generally makes my day. Claire was so much fun to photograph! Her big sister, Kelsey, got her senior photos done with us and her mom wanted to get some photos of Claire as well, so we did a session for her. We had tons of fun climbing on things, skipping, and making faces in Milwaukee’s Fifth Ward! Check out the photos!
