Milwaukee Wisconsin Wedding & Family Photographer

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 ~

We are celebrating National Marquette Day this week by looking back at our gorgeous Marquette Alumni brides & grooms from just one wedding season and there is so much to fawn over. This is Couple #3 and you just have to revisit their sunny, love-filled and perfectly styled day. They Are Marquette and We Are In Love!

If you follow our studio in any way you know that we spend a significant number of summer weekend days at Discovery World. Our clean and crisp but romantic & honest style just seems to be a great fit for couples who want a wedding that is called “classic” by their stylist, “fun” by their friends, and “joyful” by their wedding photographer. Olivia & Jack absolutely fit that bill to a T but let me add a few more details to describe them. They are playful and adorable together, a couple that is supremely confident in their love for one another, in the love they share, in the life they plan to build. They have big love for their alma mater, the lake, their friendships and they 100% adore their families. In the midst of their classic, fun & joyful wedding they were totally aware of how special their day was – of how special their story is. So grab a glass of bubbly (or the hand of your favorite person) and settle in for this post all about Olivia & Jack’s perfect day. It is one to be savored ~
