I got the chance to meet up with Kari and Cody this fall to document their engagement and it was really lovely. I am very much looking forward to when these two exchange vows and celebrate with their family and friends.

Nicole and Matt met in college at UW Madison, they now live in Chicago and last month these two got married in Milwaukee. Their wedding day plans may have changed, the sky may have been spitting rain down on and off all day but this was a good day and I am so glad i got to be apart of it.

It always takes me a bit to figure out what to write about when I post wedding blogs - I’m a storyteller with my images and it’s hard for me to write out my thoughts and feelings about each wedding I get invited to. Each wedding I get asked to photograph is unique and I’m only a tiny part of it - my role is to document what is happening, I try to stay out of the way and I try to keep my camera shooting all day long - every moment is a story - every person invited to be apart of the wedding has their own story, know the couple somehow whether it’s since college, high school or since they were born. Lisa and Evan’s wedding was such a wonderful day to be apart of, the space was the backyard of Gila - Lisa’s mother - the space where Lisa grew up and the garden that Gila has been working on for years was the backdrop to this day. The radar showed it was going to rain all day but the sky opened up in the afternoon for a perfect sunny day. I am so grateful for my role on wedding days and I’m so thankful Evan and Lisa had me be apart of their wedding day.
