On a warm fall evening James, Emily and I headed out to Pope Farm Conservancy for their engagement session. As we were there I heard the story of how they met online, realizing later that they grew up in the same neighborhood. And I heard about how three years later James got down on one…
2020 is here! And as we look forward, plan, and anticipate what’s to come, part of that is looking back at what came before in 2019. The people who have made 2019 such a wonderful year, the vendors who made any of these weddings possible, and the milestones that contributed to who we are now….
A Legend at Brandybrook Wedding. Kevin and Kristin met playing volleyball together! Hearing Kevin tell their story at their reception was the sweetest this as he described wanting to ask her to hang out! And I seriously love it when couples meet doing some kind of sport. I may be biased as that’s how I…
A beautiful, intimate, backyard wedding. In the small northern town of Floodwood, MN, Michael and Sara were married. The ceremony took place in her parent’s back yard in a small alcove of trees with the sun shining through. You walked up between a wooden door frame, surrounded by pictures of them, decorations and flowers, to…
Aaron and Laura got married at East Brook church where Laura grew up. It was a beautiful wedding full of people who were so excited to be celebrating with them! It was followed by an intimate reception at The Coast, downtown Milwaukee right on the Lake. I knew instantly when I met Laura that she’d…
So many amazing things that could be said about Michael and Sara! We’ve known them for a few years and together have enjoyed evenings of board games, disc golfing, and great conversation. Not to mention random Sponge Bob references that no one other than Michael and my husband seem to understand. But beyond that, they’re…
A Milwaukee Third Ward Engagement Session. Any session that includes tacos is a great session! But much more than tacos, I loved getting to know Kevin and Kristin! So much fun, endless laughter, and the sweetest couple! And it was great seeing not only their love for each other in these pictures, but also their goofiness…
A winter Iron Horse Hotel engagement session. I have a fondness for the snow; ESPECIALLY when I have amazing couples like this one who are willing to brave it without coats for some great pictures! And who doesn’t want a chance to bundle up close to the person you love? I had so much fun…
2018 was such an incredible year, full of so many amazing people! As more and more I’ve focused on the emotion and joy throughout a wedding day, I’ve been able to see stories unfold and journeys begin. From wedding days and the start of a marriage, to newborn sessions and the start of a growing…
Doctors Park Engagement Session. I loved getting to know Martin and Emily! They’re the kind of people I think everyone should meet. Both working as traveling nurses, every couple of months they load up in their van (which is decked out and awesome) and travel across the country to their new job. They also just ran…
A Green Bay Church Wedding. I’ve known Hannah and Isaac for a little over a year, making it all that more fun to photograph their wedding! I got to meet their families, celebrate with them, and watch my own baby girl join in as their flower girl (I may be biased, but she was adorable)!…
A Milwaukee Yacht Club Wedding. I loved hearing Ben and Haley’s story! It’s one of those stories you think you’re going to have as a kid but later find out it’s probably not going to happen. Well these guys have that story! They met in middle school sharing a couple classes. Distracting each other, passing…
A dreamy Hubbard Park Wedding. I met Ross and Annie almost a year ago and have been looking forward to their wedding since then! They met at Target and during a long shift that Annie wasn’t looking forward too, Ross brought her lunch. :) Two years later, at the end of a pier overlooking the…
A gorgeous Milwaukee Engagement session. There’s something about the evening hours with the sun lightly kissing your face. The weather was perfect and Hannah and Isaac were so fun! I loved overlooking the city and photographing these two love birds! I’m so excited for their wedding this summer! Congrats you two! My name is Catherine…
A beautiful Milwaukee War Memorial Wedding. Clint and Sylvia are one of the sweetest couples! They met on a blind date a couple years ago, and this spring said “I do.” I’m sure they were not expecting a freezing, windy day when they chose mid April for their wedding. But I don’t think anything could have…
A unique Schlitz Audubon Nature Center Wedding. Ryan and Rachel are the kind of people I would love to be best friends with! The first things I learned about them as we met almost a year ago was that they love The Office, Parks and Rec, and board games. And you see that and their fun…
2017 marks my first full year in Milwaukee. The more I’m here the more I’ve fallen in love with the city, the places, and the incredible people I’ve been able to work with! I’m excited to share some of my favorite images of those people; full of real moments and lots of laughter. Thank you…
The Iron Horse and Chef’s Table Wedding. I loved getting to know Jim and Jessica. Their love for Milwaukee and Walker’s Point is contagious, their wedding was unique, and they are genuinely fun people to be around. And their wedding reflected that! It was a beautiful, intimate wedding with their closest friends and family. Their ceremony…
A gorgeous wedding at Milwaukee’s new venue the Atrium. I loved everything about this wedding! Jake and Amy met coaching softball together and (as you could imagine) they are both competitive, athletic, and seriously love having fun together! And their wedding was definitely fun! They were up for anything including taking their bridal party down…
A Madison farm wedding. I love weddings that take place somewhere significant. On this bright and sunny afternoon, friends and family gathered on Anthony’s family farm under a large shady tree. It was the perfect place for everyone to come together. There were many things I loved about this wedding; kids having fun, amazing decorations…
This past year was the year of intimate weddings. I love it when couples come together with the closest people to them and create a day unique to them. It took place in a small town in Missouri on a beautiful outdoor patio area of Willow spring Mercantile. What I loved about this location is…
A beautiful downtown Milwaukee engagement session. More and more I’ve been asked to do engagement session in different neighborhoods in Milwaukee and I seriously love it! This session was at the Milwaukee Art Museum and down in the third ward. I love going to these places and creating pictures that are a little bit different…
I loved this intimate wedding! There’s something special about sharing your day with only the people closest to you. And that’s what this wedding was; a handful of close people gathered together to celebrate this amazing couple. I loved seeing Sam and Samantha’s closest friends and family gather around them to make their wedding unique!…
In-home engagement sessions are quickly becoming some of my favorite! There’s something about stepping into someone’s home and seeing a small portion of how they do life. And I loved stepping into Rachel and Ryan’s life for an afternoon! The sun was bright, and I was instantly greeted by their friendly dog Remi. It was…
A stunning Milwaukee Engagement. There were so many things I loved about this session. First, that Jim and Jessica wanted to do it close to home and in the neighborhood they love. So much Milwaukee pride I love it! And in my opinion there’s few ways to explore a neighborhood like Walker’s Point than with…
