Elle & Sam | Villa Terrace Fall Wedding

Elle & Sam planned a lovely wedding, intimate in scale and gorgeous in design, a day & night they could settle into and truly enjoy. The details were romantic and garden-inspired while the setting was not only breathtaking, but mostly open air. We loved their first look on the terrace where they would eventually say their vows and how they took time throughout the day to hold hands and chat, to explore the Villa, to watch the day change to night, to really make memories of their wedding together.  And oh yes, how sweet it was to be witness to the new family they created that included not just the two of them, but also Sam’s children. The wee ones were present all day and clearly All In for becoming a part of an expanded family to not only include Elle, but also her sweet and proud parents. Cheers to love and family and dreaming dreams and making them come true.

Samantha & Patrick | Sunset San Francisco Engagement

There are so many songs written about California, about love and about California Love. After spending a sweet afternoon with Samantha & Patrick in San Francisco I can understand why. They are midwesterners on a west coast adventure, and so far they have loved exploring and coming to know their beloved San Francisco. On this particular day it was all about showing off a few of their more romantic favorite spots, chosen in part because each locale will likely play a part in their future memories of their time in California. They meandered through the Palace of Fine Arts and spied hummingbirds, felt the sun warm their skin and reveled in the beauty of it all. Then they were more than happy to reminisce about how not too long ago Patrick proposed to Samantha in the long shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge. And so, with the Pacific Ocean and its gulls providing the soundtrack they sunk their toes in the sand and just soaked all that California love up. Truth be told: words aren’t really required to summarize how sweet and lovely it all was. The pictures will do:

Alexa & Bryan | Ivy House Wedding

If you asked me to imagine a most perfect fall day to get married it would be Alexa & Bryan’s September soiree at The Ivy House. The sun was shining and the Dom Perignon flowed. The details were dark and romantic but in the sunlight everything came across as light, bright and airy. The bridal party was fun and full of love for the bride & groom and everything about Alexa & Bryan said

I am all in.

And so, every one else went all in, too. We loved how their bridal party offered wishes during the ceremony and how their families are clearly good friends outside of the wedding setting. We loved that their florist who became their wedding planner who became their officiant cried as she watched them during the day. We loved how Alexa & Bryan took time to watch the sunset and designed a day that never felt rushed, always felt authentic, and they made sure everyone around them knew of their importance to them. So grab a glass of bubbly and take some notes; this is how love is done in MKE.
