PHEW- this past weekend was a HOT + windy one 🥵but oh so beautiful. M+M's was a day that I'd been looking forward to for quite a while.

Taking place at the Westin Milwaukee, their day was full of love, laughter, tears, (let's be honest- sweat), and Ms. Mallory + Michael spent their morning reading vows to each other before the day got started. They took time to get ready at the hotel with their best people before sharing a sweet first look in the dining room of

Portraits followed, along with a visit from their pup, just before a lovely ceremony and champagne pop.

The many words spoken by their parents and siblings during dinner were just so beautiful and described the most kind, caring couple- exactly Michael + Mallory. As an eldest sister myself, I don't think I've ever kept a dry eye during a maid-of-honor speech from a younger sister, and Saturday was no exception.

Their day also had many adorable custom elements and subtle Ms throughout (their initials and first letter of many places and things dear to them).

Congratulations again M+M ♥

I'm so excited to be planning a few engagements at this season! Every time I visit, I find new inspiration 🌿

Here are a few favorites from S+E's engagement.

Sharing ✨️this✨️ today instead of wedding content. I finally got film from 2023 when I photographed a full roll of Venice on black and white. My husband and I traveled there end-of-summer for our honeymoon/vow renewal.

While in Venice we had squid ink pasta, visited the floating book store, perused antiques we could bring home, tasted limoncello, saw the ships come in and out of the Venetian Lagoon (including THE 's all black yacht), and watched the sunset from steps of the Chiesa di San Simeon Piccolo on the Grand Canal.

This was a perfect day and even though the frames are purposefully simple, I love this film. (The last slide is one of my favorites)

Meet me at 🍝 I've become a little obsessed with helping you create a "dream date" scenario for your engagement session.

How do you get photos like these?? First, you'll fill out my get-to-know-you questionnaire. I'll go over it and help decide on a few location ideas to choose from.

I'll create three custom mood boards with outfit ideas and suggestions to help us plan the perfect evening for you.

You'll get access to my prep guide and private Pinterest board (with even more outfit suggestions and inspiration) and we'll choose outfits and narrow down the location.

Then, we'll all have a blast AND you'll get amazing photos like these, that feel like *you* ♥

I was so excited when J let us in on a little secret and I helped to plan their proposal at Summer Camp in 2023 (which I also had the honor of photographing). I was, of course, beyond thrilled when they asked me to be their wedding photographer shortly after.

This Colorado wedding was EXTRA special. We met R+J through a friend we met at when a fellow Summer Camp Counselor invited us to camp with her 20+ crew about 5 years ago. Since then, we've been great friends with everyone, and R+J became close couple friends of mine and my husband.

Their wedding day started by getting ready at Villa Parker and shared a first look and vows by the archways. As they read their vows to each other, white blossoms from the trees floated through the air around them.

After, they said their "I do"s by the fountain in the front courtyard with all their closet friends and family in attendance. Cocktails were then had on the patio with the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

R+J shared their first dance as the warm Colorado sun poured in above them through the glass roof of the ballroom. A night of dinner, dancing, and a lot of laughter followed.

This past weekend was such a special one. It was incredible to not only photograph a wedding, but to see our friends get married and to also be surrounded with so many more great friends as guests.

Thank you again for having us and for being such amazing humans. Congratulations again, we love you dearly! ❤️❤️❤️

N+T at one of the most beautiful buildings in Milwaukee 🏙

Have you ever been here?

Proof from that simple can be so, so elegant.

This was one of my favorite days last year. I'm so glad I was able to showcase Aaron + Nic's incredibly stunning work in not just one, but FOUR weddings last year and already one so far for 2025.

Every time I see their name on my vendor list I am over-the-moon excited. They also were MY florist for my own Milwaukee wedding and are always one of the top names on my featured list.

Thank you for making my job so easy 💐
