Dawn

I find it hard to believe that this beautiful mommy will deliver in just a couple of weeks.

Maternity are my favorite photos to do, and I had a great time laughing and sharing the joy with this couple. They had a great sense of humor and adventure---"how about that 70 degree pool!!!brrrrrrrr"

Simply Gorgeous! Even with a slight downpour (which finished as we shot the formals), this couple took it all in stride and had a fabulous party. With a great group of friends like this you just can't go wrong.... Best wishes to you both!

Daddy's girl

When the dust settles tonight, and daddy gets his little sweetie pie to bed, hopefully he'll have time to see just a few of the images we took tonight.

I love how Josh's little girl responds to him, when he talked she listened, smiled, cooed, and was just the best little model possible. Daddy/Daughter bonds are the best, savor every moment of her life, she will always look up to you.

Meet the Parents

Of course it's Christian that runs the show!

My How He's Grown

I've known Christian since he was in mommy's belly....he is a beautiful active boy who has daddy's eyes and mommy's charm. Sneak peak at a whole Bunch of great photos!

More on the NEW Book!

more pix showing the new book choice

As a bride it's important to stand out...be different

Have a look that no one else has, from the dress, to the keepsake album of pictures. That's why we are announcing our newest product created by Artisan and designer-- Melissa Lawler.

These newest books have a custom cover on each, deckle edged watercolor archival paper, a Japanese style stab binding, single art imagery per page, with or without a sloppy border.

Here's a few images to give a taste of what I am talking about.

Michelle

Okay, when it comes to beautiful Seniors in High School, I have a very hard time deciding on which picture to post!! Michelle was the first to choose our cosmetology service, I don't know if that's what made her eyes sparkle, or was it the way the light and color played with the forms of her face? Regardless of what it was this was a fun shoot with a very pretty young lady, in a great setting. Thank you for choosing us to shoot your photos!

Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | Jessie & Matt

People came from as far away as Hawaii to see these two tie the knot, and it was practically a family reunion for almost everyone in attendance. A spectacular day for a wonderful couple. We were honored to be suggested to the couple by the bride's father, whom Charlie has had the pleasure of working with since 1981, so we've known Jessie since she was born... and can the parents make good babies or what! Matt's not too shabby either...

We hope we can be of service to Jessie's brother at some point in the future (wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more). Best wishes to you both!

One plus one equals two... Too much fun! This couple can really count their blessings... Their cake was divided up amongst a number of guests. In the end there was one thing that everyone could agree on, the whole is more than the sum of its parts. Best wishes to you both, have fun honeymooning in Cancun!

Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | Melissa & Steven

Better late than never..blog that is..

We meet with Melissa and Steve on Tuesday, they are a very active couple who have made wedding arrangements via a long distance, since Steven has been at West Point until graduation!

Now that they are in the area Melissa has a chance to show Steve the Wisconsin sites, and they can finalize all of their wedding plans.

Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | Kim & Scott

Nothing could dampen the spirits of these two yesterday, not even the down pour that delayed the ceremony by two hours.... which worked out well, as the reception seemed to start before the wedding -- so by the time the music started the dance floor was filled for the celebration!

We were also lucky that they had decided to have a "First meeting" before the event, so we were able to capture many photos before the tornado sirens went off... We highly recommend this for anyone having an event later in the afternoon...
The first meeting part -- not the tornado!

Your easy going natures made the day a real pleasure for everyone around you, and a shining example of how to handle adversity with graciousness. Best wishes to you both for rolling with whatever may come your way.

This could be my husband on a Sunday in front of a Packers Game!!!!

This baby does not lack expression or character! What a doll and all BOY..."DAVIS"

Notice the final photo--hopes dashed.. looks like another loss :(

First Senior of the season!

I love shooting seniors, they are at the peak of their beauty, the edge of maturity, and about to emerge into a great big wide world to paint their own canvas. Thanks Rebecca for a wonderful session, I really enjoyed working with you.

Sex in the City.. Slinger that is

We enjoyed our last weekend off, now the fun begins, weddings every weekend! To celebrate our day off I invited my former colleagues to join us for a cook out and drinks. So here's to the girls who are creative as well as beautiful.

Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | Emily & Steve

Dearest Emily and Steve, I know we said that we'd have these posted yesterday, but our impetuous personalities decided we needed to see the Indiana Jones movie, forgive us!

Marquette grads, decide to tie the knot! We had a great time photographing these two, they are well suited for each other and will be lots of fun when it comes to the actual date of their event. We look forward to working with them and all of their friends and family in November!

Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | Erin & Jeff

Another fun couple, so in love and so much fun to photograph... I only wish we had more time to work with these two... it was non-stop all day... best wishes to you both!

Family from Germany

My dear Friend and former colleague Alice is delighted to have her son and his family visiting from Germany. These three little guys were a bit like photographing mosquitoes, but I managed to get a few good ones. The oldest is a dead ringer for his Grandpa Bruce.
