Milwaukee Wisconsin Wedding & Family Photographer

Baby Hugh joined one of my favorite families this spring. Big sister Jorie is already the best at holding him & loving on him and his mom & dad are pretty chuffed with how well things are going at home now that their family of three has expanded to four. I got the sweetest chance to witness their hearts grow by the minute when they invited me over to document Hugh at home in his first days. What a joy it was to meet them at their light filled bungalow, to partake in a soft morning marked by music and book reading, to vicariously bask in the glow of their gentle play and snuggly fun. So if you need a little pick me up today you have come to the right place: Hugh’s place at home with his wonderful family.

In writing this blog post for Ali & Quan I keep trying to come up with a more solid way to describe their wedding day but the word that keeps rising to the top of my mind is magical. Ali & Quan hosted their wedding on March 2nd in Chicago, not a day known for sunshine and perfect weather, and yet, that is exactly what they experienced. From the rooftop of their city hotel to the colonnade of the Lyric Opera and onto Lincoln Park, every spot they graced with their presence shown just a little brighter, sparkled a little harder and generally showed off Chicago as a magical city of light, love and clear blue water & skies. Their ceremony was touching and personal, a perfect way to invite family and friends to be forever a part of their love story and really is there any better way than a floral chandelier to accent the historic grace and beauty of Lincoln Park’s Cafe Brauer? In the end, the toasts were emotional, the party was epic and the couple at the center of it all deserved every magical moment. So grab a glass of bubbly and take a deep breath because this one will have you believing that magic really does exist ~
