Katie & Alex | Milwaukee Art Museum September Wedding

Katie & Alex’s wedding day was a S T U N N E R. Every space they moved through looked like a movie set but felt like a real celebration. They mixed classically bridal elements with modern couture details to recall an Old World elegance but somehow still pulled off a vibe that felt modern AND relevant. There was greenery and lace, lakefront and architecture, and in the heart of it all two souls deeply in love. The day was unhurried, full of friendship and hugs, and simply gorgeous. Full Stop. The pictures really do speak for themselves so I feel like I just need to get out of the way and let you look your fill. Take a breath and get ready: this one deserves a slow scroll and a fountain of oohs and ahhhs.

Heather & Chris | Whistling Straits Irish Barn Wedding

Heather & Chris were married at one of their favorite places on the planet and they made the most of each and every moment over the weekend of their destination nuptials. Their rehearsal dinner & welcome party was celebrated in the courtyard of the American Club, an old world & elegant start to the weekend. On Saturday they switched up the vibe and invited their friends and family to enjoy the wind swept romantic moors of Whistling Straits. They hosted beautifully but they also included personal touches that made the weekend feel like “theirs.” We loved that Chris’s ring was inset with barrel wood from Heather’s favorite Whiskey (Blanton’s in case you are wondering!) We loved the customized boots and the golf tee place cards. We loved their friends and their laughter, their tears and their dancing dips. We loved their dueling piano dance party and most of all: we loved witnessing the moment Heather & Chris became a family. Cheers to Heather & Chris!

Brooke & Matt | Milwaukee Art Museum Wedding

Brooke & Matt are joy incarnate. Their friends adore them, their parents practically beam when looking at them, and the two of them are hearts-on-the-sleeve-dance-like-no-one-is-watching kind of people. And man oh man, a wedding day filled with that kind of delight and love is exactly what a photographer needs to fill the proverbial tank and stay grounded in the moment on a wedding day. Theirs was an uncharacteristically stormy summer day but we made the most of our dry minutes and they got to see one another for the first time on the roof of Hotel Metro and take in Lake Michigan views with their wedding party. Even when the sun declined to shine outside they brought the summer air in with them via a design by Jane Kelly Floral that managed to make The Milwaukee Art Museum even more gorgeous. You’ll have to forgive how many detail shots there are in this post, but seriously, every delicious bluebell, sneak peek of Brooke’s sky high heels, and focus on the texture and pattern of the day just breathes life into my soul so let’s go with it. In the end our collective reward is one of the most beautiful stormy sunset sessions we’ve ever photographed and the happiest dancing grandpa you ever did see.
