Milwaukee Wisconsin Wedding & Family Photographer

In my psyche Carolyn & Mitchell’s Summer wedding day was primed to be a blast. Why? Well, at their engagement session which was planned to be a very sweet lounge about a lake property they finished up the date with a jump in the lake. It was epic and so, so fun. And after getting the chance to witness them amongst family and friends over the length of an entire day I am pretty certain that is how friendship with these two feels: Epic & So, So Fun. I am also pretty sure being a parent to these two has also been quite the wonderful ride. For these reasons and more, we were grateful to be there with them to capture all the feels of their day from anticipation to dedication, nerves to joy, total pleasure to heartfelt gratitude. It was a day built around their authentic selves and I can’t imagine a better way for them to have kicked off their life as Mr. & Mrs. Cheers to Mitchell & Carolyn!

Katie & Max met at Marquette University and have built a sweet life together that revolves around family, friends and their pup Raynor. Named after the building where they first met on campus, Raynor wasn’t physically present at their ceremony or reception but Katie got to start her day with him in the room and his adorable fluffy mug adorned their cocktail napkins. I imagine that he heartily approved of his parents wedding day! That day was a summer dream with a traditional church ceremony and a reception designed to feel elegant and totally timeless. The rain came at the perfect time, letting up to allow for pictures on the course at Brandybrook and cocktails on the terrace, plus raindrops always add a little sparkle to the world in just the right way. We loved how Katie & Max kept the focus on each other, their love story and celebrating their families, the ones they come from and the one they made by saying I Do.
