Weddings

When you fall in love, the world feels new. It's as if everything is happening for the first time. That's why we love photographing weddings. Each wedding has us falling in love over and over again—it reminds us that there is wonder and mystery in this shared life we all build together. The most aspirational thing to us is rekindling that initial spark of falling in love. We want to give you that experience with your wedding photos, perfectly captured and forever remembered. It's here, in our journal, we celebrate your love story so all can enjoy it.

We always coach our couples on picking an engagement session location that fits their personalities best. Sometimes it’s a little tricky to figure out the best location, but with a little questioning, we always find the ideal spot for our couples. However, when we first met Kristin, she already knew what she wanted! She told […]

Portrait

September 17, 2019

We have this ongoing joke that there is always a little girl with short blonde hair in a bright pink shirt following us around to all of our shoots. She was there in Chicago, running around the background Cloud Gate while we are photographing Emily and Daniel’s engagement session. She was in Nashville, running up […]

Romantic Michigan Lakeshore Engagement

Romantic Michigan Lakeshore Engagement

Portrait

September 11, 2019

One reason why we love to shoot Michigan Lakeshore engagement sessions is because the sun sets over the lake. Imagine if we lived in Wisconsin on the other side of the lake? Yes, the view would be beautiful in the morning but we would have to shoot sunrise engagement sessions to get the same effect. […]

Every bride and groom we meet touches our lives in a small way. When we become their wedding photographers, we become a part of their journey through life together. We become a small part of their love story and a major part of their wedding day. Our worlds come together for a brief period of […]

Every engagement session we shoot is meaningful to us. We love to watch our couples interact, often for the first time, in front of our cameras.
