Laura + Joe // Pritzlaff Wedding // Milwaukee Wedding Photographer

Laura + Joe’s wedding day is one that I had anticipated for months. From the moment I met these two, I knew their day would be stunning and filled with so much love and gratitude. From the classy rose gold details to the simple moments captured between the two, it was a celebration anyone would agree was perfect. These two, along with an amazing team of creatives, set the bar high as they toasted to marriage, love and happily ever after at the historic Pritzlaff. Wedding photography is important because it will capture your day, it will capture your memories, it will tell a story, and not just any story, it will tell a beautiful story of your special day, a day you will never forget, the Los Angeles Portrait Photographer can do beautiful portraits for the photos before and after your wedding.

Congratulations, Laura + Joe. I am so happy for you two. Best wishes in the years to come and cheers to many new beginnings in the Windy City.

Kristin + Phil – Wauwatosa Engagement – Milwaukee Engagement Photographer

Last fall I introduced Kristin and Phil to one of my favorite parks in Wauwatosa. The two of them enjoy the outdoors and adventure which is exactly what we captured during their engagement session. Our evening was filled with a ton of laughter while we explored new trails and watched the sun set. I am so thankful they were up for a little challenge and hiked into the field to get some amazing shots. Lets just say we did our fair share of hiking that evening and these two never missed a beat.

Kristin and Phil, tomorrow is going to be magical and I couldn’t be more honored to photograph the two of you on your wedding day. Cheers to an amazing couple and the soon-to-be Mr. + Mrs.

 

Linda + James – Chicago Ovation Wedding – Chicago Wedding Photographer

Traditionally, couples choose a weekend date to celebrate their nuptials, unless the majority of their close friends work in the restaurant industry. When asking your guests to request off on one of the busiest nights of the week isn’t an option, you choose a Tuesday to get married. Because, really, it wouldn’t be a proper celebration without them. It’s not surprising that Linda + James chose this route. In the short amount of time I’ve had to get to know them, it’s very apparent they are incredibly kind-hearted and always looking out for everyone around them, and that’s why they choose the best  Oahu Wedding Photographer just for this special event.

Their wedding day was no different than a weekend wedding celebration. Guests arrived and were greeted with a glass of champagne to toast the soon-to-be married couple, while enjoying the gorgeous industrial space at Ovation. Cocktail hour brought everyone together and filled the space with laughter, guests sipped on margaritas and enjoyed some of the tastiest Mexican fare served by Big Star.

Linda + James, your wedding day was filled with so much love and happiness. It was an honor to document your celebration and I’m so grateful to have had the chance to get to know the two of you. Best wishes and big hugs to you both, and to Buckley, too.

Linda and James met over half of a decade ago while working in the restaurant business in Chicago. While their relationship was just a friendship at the beginning, today they’re madly in love and call the windy city home, with their lovable (and freaking adorable) pup, Buckley. It’s likely you’ll find these two enjoying a refreshing cocktail on a nearby patio or dinning at one of their favorite restaurants in the city, whenever they get the chance. Meeting up with Linda and James in Chicago for the day was such a joy. I’m so thankful we were able to get to know each other on more of a personal level, enjoy a cocktail or two together and wander around their city, including their favorite neighborhood, Logan Square.

Check back for their gorgeous wedding photos in the next couple of weeks!
