When I first sat down with Danielle for coffee, it felt like we’d been friends for years. We share a similar sense of humor, she is a go-getter like me, & the girl just down right knows what she wants! Not to mention she is also an Illinois Wesleyan grad (Go Titans!). After hitting it […]

Saturday’s wedding was something out of a fairytale. With a tiara on top of her head, Lexi looked like a true princess as she married Jake, the man who as a boy, needed Lexi’s help to reach the water fountain. What makes these two so special (& quite frankly perfect for each other) is how much […]

I think all these fall sessions are really starting to get to my head. Besides the numerous wedding dreams in which I forget my equipment or I am running terribly late, I have been combining my couples’ names. A few weekends ago, I was calling Curtis & Katelyn “Curtlyn”. Then, at Kyle & Devin’s engagement […]

I still remember meeting Lindsey & Joe for the first time. It felt much like a blind date might—here I was, sitting alone in a coffee shop, waiting for two people I’d never met before to walk in all while trying to “play it cool.” After just five minutes of chatting with this Milwaukee-based couple, I […]

In my last post, I talked about long-time love stories—the ones that have stood the test of time. Haley is the youngest of three girls (one of which is my BFF) & all three of them married (or will marry) their high school/college sweetheart. How crazy is that?! I’ve been friends with Haley’s sister Brittany since […]

Love is such an amazing thing. In its truest form, it is timeless & pure, existing without fear. When we work with couples who are high school sweethearts, like Kelsey & Mitch, I am so inspired by the love they share. Think about it: their love has survived the drama of high school, the exploration & freedom […]

When you’re packing up your gear from the wedding day with tears in your eyes, you know its been a good day. Our bride, Katelyn, had just surprised her grandpa with a dance in memory of his wife, her grandma—she unexpectedly passed away this year. These are the moments that matter on a wedding day. […]

September is a funny month—one day it can feel like fall & other days (like today) you’d think it was the dead of summer. When Molly & Tom planned for their September 16th wedding, they pictured that crisp, autumn day but instead were blessed with 90 degree temps. Regardless of what the weather did, I’d […]

Every moment of Sophia & Josh’s wedding day was drenched in a pure, unashamed kind of joy—the best kind, in my opinion. Nerves, fear & anxiety had no place as these two were clearly purposed for each other. From start to finish, Sophia & Josh’s contagious joy seemed to spill over wherever they were—no matter […]
