Emmeline & Patrick | War Memorial & Saint Kate Wedding

Emmeline & Patrick’s summer wedding day was set against the backdrop of Lake Michigan and the city of Milwaukee. They were married overlooking the water from the large terrace at The War Memorial and they celebrated their marriage at the artist haven that is the Saint Kate Arts Hotel. We loved their personal details and all the palpable space they held for missing loved ones, most importantly for Patrick’s beloved mom. With her blessing and the extended blessing of all those in attendance they said I Do to easy times and hard ones, to joyful days and Dutch dancing, to growing together and of course, to Forever. Theirs was a sweet day made even sweeter by the toasts of their friends, the love of their parents, and the fact that they got to marry their favorite person on the planet.

What an incredible tribute to Patrick’s mom and her great love for him. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room and we were honored to witness such devotion and emotion centered around  her. After many hugs and moment reminiscing about life with mom, Emmeline’s family raised spirits with a rowdy and wonderful round of “Dutch Dancing” leading all assembled into a night of  great music and good times.

Colleen & Peter | Milwaukee Art Museum & Old St Marys Wedding

Colleen & Peter were married on a gorgeous July day that literally could not have been any more perfect for saying I Do. Colleen dressed at her parent’s home surrounded by the sweet evidence of her childhood and her parent’s love. Peter stayed downtown to tackle the difficult task of bow tying, a daunting task made more fun and hilarious and (almost) un-stressful by the presence of his loved ones and best friends. They met at the altar of the oldest catholic church in Milwaukee where their wedding mass was officiated by a childhood friend. From there it was blue skies to match Colleen’s incredible eyes and more joy and love than the two of them could have imagined. We loved the the style Colleen and Peter brought to the already iconic Milwaukee Art Museum and the gorgeous interplay of light, architecture and flowers with personality made the reception feel like a photographer’s playground. So get ready for all of that AND a gorgeous sunset presented here for Colleeen & Peter ~

Newborn Harriette | Milwaukee Natural Light At Home Newborn Session

Harriette Lane came home this September. Sweet cheeked and with all 10 little fingers and 10 little toes in place, she has stolen the hearts of all 4 of the humans waiting at home for her this summer. Her big brother and sister are intrigued and fascinated by her (respectively) and her new (old) home feels a little more complete with her in it. Her parents are not new to this parenting gig, but adding a third is always an adjustment. However, in the few short hours I was with Harriette’s family on this beautiful afternoon I was left absolutely certain that she picked the perfect family to guide, love and cherish her. Welcome home Harriette ~
