Chelsea + Jordan | Sunrise Engagement Session at Indian Lake County Park | Cross Plains, WI

I think it’s time to start the year off right by highlighting some more sessions and weddings!! I think Chelsea and Jordan’s engagement session is the perfect way to start. We met before the sun came up over the hills in Cross Plains and our early start time was totally worth it.

Not only are Chelsea and Jordan effortlessly adorable with each other but they were just so much fun to hang out with! And the fact that they wanted to include their adorable pup? Well that just makes me want to be best friends with them for life ;) I had actually never been out to Indian Lake County Park yet and I don’t actually do many sunrise sessions, but this is further proof that new locations and setting an early start time are totally worth it! Happy new year, everyone!!

Brittney + Eric | Perfect Fall Engagement Session | Madison, WI

One thing I really love to do is wander around while we take portraits. I think it makes everything more relaxed and natural (haha as natural as it can be getting portraits taken) because it’s something you just do normally! We got a lot a lot of great fall color as we made our way around Willy St and finally out to the Arboretum!

And you never know what you may find or decide to do as you’re wandering! Found a great sign and made a super smart decision to stop for donuts :) Brittney and Eric were so effortless to photograph though as they are naturally affectionate and filly with each other!

Erica + Chris | A Playful Outdoor Wedding At The Paoli Mill And Terrace | Paoli, WI

This wedding day will always be one of my favorites! I knew from the first time that I met with Erica and Chris that they would have a lovely wedding day, but they were just so excited and chill all day, they planned an absolutely stunning day, and there were just so many touching and heartfelt moments!

The outdoor setting at the Paoli Mill and Terrace is one of my favorite to photograph at, but they created so many special and personal touches for their wedding day that not only made it unique, but gorgeous. The giant moon photobooth, the adorable stars behind the sweetheart table, and even the custom map that Erica painted for their guests all combine to make this just a stunning day!! Definitely scroll through everything to get some wedding day inspiration :)

Catie + Sam | Playful Sunset Engagement Session At Retzer Nature Center | Waukesha, WI

I've been too busy with other work to blog lately, but I thought now would be a good time to revisit it so I can share more of this super sweet engagement session! Catie and Sam and just so adorable together and we had the perfect evening at the Retzer Nature Center!

These two were just so fun and playful and we just laughed the whole time! My favorite part of the session had to be when I asked Sam to give Catie a piggy back ride and I ended up with some images of what I lovingly called "the turtle." As you can see Catie and Sam and just super fun to hang out with and I cannot wait for their wedding next year!

Abby + Manak | A Fun Indian Fusion Wedding | Madison, Wisconsin

I always tell my couples to make sure they stay true to who they are and plan their wedding day around what they want and not what everyone says they should do. I think Abby and Manak did just that! They not only blended their two faiths beautifully in their ceremony, but they created a super fun day for all of their family and friends. Honestly, the dance floor was packed from the moment that these two walked in to the room! Everyone joined them several times on the dance floor even during dinner! I think having a super fun live band helped as well ;)

I can't say enough just how wonderful this day was! Obviously you can see that Abby and Manak are just a gorgeous couple, but make sure you scroll all the way through and see how they transformed the Edgewater to an absolutely stunning space!!
