Anthony+Sara | Photo Booth

The only introduction that this photo booth from Sara and Anthony's wedding needs: there was not enough screen to hold everyone. That is the way we like it. Check out the slide show at the bottom for all the awesome craziness, and check out all the prints here.












And let us not forget the fabulous couple of the hour:

Laura + Paul | Bright Sky and Wedding Bells

Since I was young there was a mystic quality to High Cliff. You could hike along the paved paths, and finish the day with a jump in the water sans lifeguards, living life a tad dangerously. Every time I tried to camp there with family or friends, I was rained on, without fail. But we would still come out during the sun filled hours and boulder along the cliffs making that activity a favorite pastime. Deep under the tree coverage, jumping between rocks, and climbing into mini-hideouts created a sense of adventure, even if we were never more then a few feet off the ground.

But the piece that always excited our adventure filled hearts was the fantastic view at the top of the bluff overlooking Lake Winnebago. The trees opened up and there was a view of farmland, now more filled in with housing developments and golf courses but still nonetheless breathtaking. Sail boats would dot the lake, and from the distance look like tiny toys floating in a pond. The site spectacular to visit even after numerous trips.

When Laura mentioned that she and Paul picked this view for their wedding, I knew it was simply perfect. I remembered the exact spot she mentioned because I had hiked up to that spot so many times before. Their wedding day was blessed with a gorgeous sunny sky and comfortable temperature, not to mention that same perfect view of the lake below.

Ladies and gentlemen, turn off your cell phones. Poor Paul had the best sense of humor, "Who would be calling me, everyone I know is right here!"




Hello there, Laura you look gorgeous!

Gertrude had to make a guest appearance after being such a star in the engagement shoot. She is still a stunner!


Congrats Laura and Paul (oh, and lets not forget about Gertrude!) you are such a beautiful couple that deserve all the happiness that comes your way.

Liz + Matt | Sail Boat Engagement Session

Last summer I started taking sailing classes to learn the basics of putting up the sails and maneuvering it around the lake. Nothing fancy, certainly not planning on participating in any regattas anytime soon, but it felt exhilarating to bring it out and really move across the water, the water spraying you as you leaned over the side and cut across the water with a sense of speed and agility.

Imagine my delighted surprise when Liz and Matt mentioned that they had a sail boat of their own harbored locally. They put a lot of work into renovating the vessel and they eagerly agreed to take engagement photos aboard it. The easy part was the portraits from on the deck of the ship, but then I had the bright idea to take the row boat into the harbor and attempt the rest from there, photographing while rowing around the boat. Thankfully, I am not a guppy in a rowboat, and with the combo of the amazing sunlight some pure awesomeness from Liz and Matt some amazing photos sprung forth.

I love this photo, and not just for the gorgeous light, but if you notice in the right corner, their sweet puppy, Koira, made an entrance. She is such a delightfully happy and sweetly spoiled gal!














Oh my goodness, all I can say is you guys pretty much rocked your photos.




Just love how Matt and Liz have such a great personality and sense of humor.






To say that I am excited about your wedding this fall is a bit of an understatement, it is going to be absolutely phenomenal! I am still pushing for Koira to be the flower girl.

Sarah + Aaron | Oshkosh Engagement

The weather may have been hot and sticky, but Sarah and Aaron were cool and rockin'. Sarah had the amazing idea to head over to the Paine Art Center and use the amazing gardens as our backdrop. Awesomeness ensued. I usually do not start a blog post with my favorite from a session, but this one made me go "oooh" the moment I saw it on my monitor.

I love how small of a world we live in. When I was in high school, Aaron and I actually competed against each other in debate. I will not divulge who was the winner in the round, but lets just say for a short nerdy girl with spunk, I was pretty good ;-) Sarah is a long distance runner, and I bow before her. This girl is just starting out and training for marathons, how amazing is that!

Ummm Sarah, did you know you have the amazing eyes that just pop in photographs!

Sarah and Aaron, you both were so much fun to work with, easy going and excited to be around each other. Thanks for sticking in there through the humidity and light rain, and good luck with your wedding plans.

Ali + Adam | Appleton Wedding

What can I say about Ali and Adam ... really they are just too cool for school. They are just so perfect for each other, and simply a delight to work with. There are so many amazing moments from the day that I can hardly contain them in one blog post full of images, so hopefully the slide show to follow will do a little more justice.

Below is the first time Adam saw Ali in her wedding dress--which she looked simply stunning in. No wonder Adam has such a gigantic smile on his face when he saw her. I just love it when the bride and groom get a little time together before the ceremony to just enjoy each other.

This is the groomsman's idea, they wanted to walk toward me looking debonair, holding their personalized mugs.

Another bridal party suggestion, hello AWESOMENESS!

I had to get a couple of snapshots of these little men. The first during the ceremony where he was just hamming it up for his family, the second because there is nothing sweeter then a little guy hanging onto a bridesmaid bouquet.

Loved the classic details!

Right at the end of the ceremony there was a break in the clouds and a gorgeous light flooded Adam and Ali, it was simply magical. The sunshine held for fifteen minutes and then the rain broke, thankfully after everyone was already enjoying hors d'oeuvres. Unfortunately, the beer truck was outside and away from cover, so the guys took charge and made an umbrella caddy, bringing beverages to all those who stayed dry under the tent.

Love how intent everyone is watching the slide show.

Ali and Adam, it was so fortunate that I met the both of you, and so lovely we share a love for a special island. I heard so many times at the wedding from so many different guests how perfect you are together as a couple -- more then I have every heard in one day. There was a genuine love from everyone there and I wish you both a great deal of happiness in your marriage.
