blogs and blogs behind!!!!

Wedding season is in full swing.. we are getting ready to depart for Europe..Fourth of July.. summerfest... these are all my excuses for not tending the blog!

So between weddings-there was Sam's big 60th birthday! Happy B-day big guy!

Alice P0llocks adorable grandkids came to swim, but not everyone was into getting their picture taken :)


Baby Christian introduced himself to me...both dad and baby so beautiful in pictures, made us all tear up!


and finally, Cara and Mike go through the formality of having engagement photos shot..in Mexico after a few umbrella drinks.. Mike won't even know we are around.

WHEW, it's been a wild week or two...I had pictures of some striated red, white, and blue martinis from the fourth..but today's haste made waste and they were reformatted. :(

Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | Kelly & Ben

It was our pleasure to photograph this couple. What a beautiful day it was, a perfect Saturday.
Kelly and Ben are very fun loving and their friends and family reflect that characteristic. We wish you the best of luck.

Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | Ring Challenge (again)

Getting the ring shot fell upon my shoulders two weeks ago, so of course I had to do what I could to meet the on going ring challenge between Carol & Carl. I think I managed to stay in the competition...

Carl's ring shots... pressed for time, we did the fall back on an old favorite.

Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | Aly & Matt

SWEET!!! is the only way to describe this couple, and it doesn't hurt to have a father who's a master baker either... check out the custom kringles that went home with everyone last night, not to mention the wedding cake shaped cookies as party favors, and the THREE spectacular wedding cakes! Both families contributed to create an absolutely wonderful event, best wishes to the Bride & Groom, thanks for choosing us!

Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | Angie & Jeremy

Hello Again, there will be a theme to this entry, and it won't be Solitary Man. Delirious Love, and Play Me could be the thread associated with this couple. I Am.. I Said, pleased to congratulate the beautiful couple Angie and Jeremy. "Neil Diamond should be soooo lucky!"

Holly and Kris, good natured, good looking, and in love. I adore being able to be a part of my former students weddings. I know this one will be fun.

Schooools out for summer!

Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | the ring challenge

Here at Artist's Eyes, we have a friendly challenge as to who can shoot the most creative ring shot. I concede, this week in my opinion Carl has truly won. My two photos to his one, don't even compare. Can you tell which one is Carl's??? This of course is for the blog watching fans following our thread. :)

Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | Erin & Kent

We've been waiting to make images of these two for some time. Erin has been one of our biggest advocates since the start up, recommending us to numerous brides. In fact it was a reunion of sorts yesterday, seeing two of our previous couples, with a future couple being part of the wedding party...

We are truly blessed to have such connections with these folks who are really more like family than clients.

More Happy Customers...

Rachel and Mike get to see their book for the first time. She's sure her mom is going to love it.
Another great couple to work with!

Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | Dianne & Jason (Boston Legal...really!)

We're looking forward to making pictures of this couple at the American Club in September. Everyone's coming from around the country for this one.

last senior of class of '07

Peter broke his images into two sessions, now that it is warm out we were able to take some outdoor shots.

Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | Kelley & Josh

This is the way to start the week.... to be young and in love... we can't wait to make more images of this lovely couple, watch for more of them in September!

Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | Katie & Dan

Release the hounds! This animal loving couple suprised by their canines at their nuptials, an extra touch added by mom, (Sally). As if that wasn't surprise enough, they departed in horse and carriage fit for a princess.

A beautiful wedding, memorable vows were exchanged, and the party that followed was equally as exciting. See the slideshow here. Congratulations to you both!

Busy Weekend!

This Quartet, are inspirational young women who hail from Hartford Union High School. They are a very talented string quartet, who preform for ceremonial occasions! We have worked with them, and they really know their stuff!

Mandy, polished off her senior pictures here at the studio on Saturday Morning.

Ryan H. appears casual here, but before the prom, we had the opportunity to create images worthy of "Gentleman's Quarterly". So the many personalities of Ryan can be viewed at our website under your events.
All in all, it was a CRAZY weekend. I think this keeps us young.????

Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | Alyson & Matt

Post Party day must have left me in a fog, I scurried when this great couple arrived for their shoot. We took some time to go to a park and capture moments of laughter, eye contact, and some sweet whispers. The bride's busy life is being directed toward the most important day of their lives, she will handle it with ease, I am sure.

Anniversary Party a Big....

Our second annual Anniversary Party was a learning experience for us... Mothers Day weekend was not the best choice for people to be available.... However those in attendance did have fun as we had a harpist (Chloe, you are amazing!), guitarist and songwriter Ethan Keller, a rousing edition of the newly wed game, and Donna & Bryan Woods dance instruction gave us all a Salsa lesson...

Special thanks to Scenic View Country Club for hosting this wonderful event and supplying the beer and soda. Chicken Primavera provided by Catering by Bryon, cake samples by Sweet Creations Bakery, and floral center piece by Petals Flowers. Carol's son Jon DJ'd and we brought the pizza!

Thanks to those in attendance.

High Honor Roll... High Jump

My son Connor shows much promise in track, and he does great in the class room as well!

Learning mode engaged...

Well, it's been a couple of long days for us down at the Pictage Partner Conference in Chicago... rubbing elbows with some of the big names in the wedding and portrait industry. We hopefully picked up a few new tricks.

You'll see some improvements to our website in the next few weeks, and the look of our correspondence, and just look at our new header for the blog! oooooo it's cooool.

Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | Katie & Tom

Katie and Tom are planning a June wedding in '08-thinking ahead they posed for great engagement shots. This bride and groom will be easy going, and lots of fun, that was obvious with the little time we spent together. They are coming to our big bash on Saturday May 12th, so we will get to know them even better.

Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | Heidi & Chris

This was an exercise in elegance... Great families coming together in a wonderful blend. We were honored to be picked by this couple to capture images on their special day, especially after finding out that she viewed no less than eleven other photographers before choosing us!

We wish them the best in life, a long and beautiful marriage, and the happiness exhibited by their own parents.

All blog watchers!

This is an FYI... we know there continues to be a glitch in the playback of the slideshow, and it does seem to play best once it's played all the way through. I'm sure it's because the movie file is loaded into your browsers cache, so there's less to download.

Anyway, we're aware of it, and continue to wait for the developers to respond to our questions regarding this matter... AND it's still pretty cool to see the days events so soon after your day, glitch and all. Artists' eyes will do it's best to make this happen for every wedding we do (and we'll also find some more music!).
