Madison Wedding Photographers | Christine & Mike

Christine and Mike exchanged their vows atop of the Museum of Contemporary Art in Madison, WI. Emotionally delivered vows touched everybody. This unique wedding reception had entertainment provided by the band" Whoz Playing?", great food, and an interesting touch in that a plein air painter, Katie Musolff, who was recording the event on canvas as a gift for the groom. The whole day was a work of ART!

Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | Emily and Mike

This terrific couple enjoy life, they love music and it's obvious they love each other. It is so refreshing to see a couple this in tune to each other. It was great fun capturing Emily and Mike in preparation for their wedding which will take place in 2011.

Monday night YOGA with Dennis Hawk

Coppertree Yoga Studio in Hartford, gave us the chance to join in for a great night of yoga, accompanied musically by Dennis Hawk. Dennis plays the most beautiful introspective sounds derived from the sounds of Native American Music. It adds a new dimension to the body soul experience.

The Stevens Family

This image looks prim and proper for a family photo.. but the best image is the one with "Jack" as the leader of the parade!

What we did over the weekend..

In January we had the opportunity to travel to Mexico to photograph Holly and Kyle, but this last weekend the Kreuser family greeted the couple with their wedding wishes.

Head shots for a friendly staff.

Yesterday I took head shots for our own Insurance company staff members. Nice, helpful, competent people @ Gundrum Insurance in Slinger, WI

Award Winner!

He's da man!

Actually there were many extremely talented kids from all over the state at yesterdays 1st Annual Tommy Awards, which took place at the Overture Center in Madison. It's always a challenge between documenting the performance, and enjoying the show without feeling like we're watching it through the camera... either way, we very much enjoyed watching Connor receive the accolades he deserved (best lead) working so hard in the high school musical "All Shook Up".

Kudos to all the folks who received awards for all their hard work in their respective productions. It's ironic that these programs which have such great impact on young lives are the first to get their budgets cut at the first sign of economic duress. I am one parent that believes these programs are just as important to the development of today's youth as any sports activity.

Way to go Connor, you are a leader of tomorrow!

Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | Sara & Rodney!

You just know when personalities click, AND that's what we felt with Rodney and Sara. Sara is another beautiful woman whom we have the opportunity to photograph, and Rodney is not just handsome-- he is a barrel of fun. We know this wedding will be a blast. October cannot come soon enough.

Late....meet NATE

It's been a while since we were introduced to a new family member. NATE ... I didn't get this chance to blog about him until now. It might have been psychological, since I am now a GREAT aunt. Doesn't seem possible, just yesterday I held his dad in my arms.

Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | Nicole and Spencer

Thank goodness we have young men like Spencer who sign up to protect and defend our country.

He shared the spotlight last Saturday with his beautiful bride Nicole. They had an outdoor wedding, on a beautiful early summer day. The bride sparkled like the gems around her neck.
Thank you for choosing us to make your memories.

Krull family

What cute kids, new to the family is Benny, and Kimmy Jo is his big sister. The Krull family is happy to welcome their new little boy, and look forward to a full happy life together.

Love..... is not just horsin' around

Lisa and Jason will be taking the reigns on a life together in August. Their busy schedules kept us from doing the engagement shoot in a timely manner. The wedding date is August 8th, can't wait to photograph this cute couple!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Erin & Paul

WOW...What a wedding! We had so much fun with this unconventional couple. Erin and Paul designed a wedding that never ceased to amaze us throughout the day. The ceremony that united the bride and groom was symbolized with earth being added to a small fir tree and Erin and Paul watered it to show their unity from that point forward. Just like that small tree, their love will continue to grow.

The location for the reception was beautiful, the Grand Geneva Hotel and Spa, what a place. We enjoyed being with their friends and photographing around the grounds of the Hotel.

Paul revealed a few of his musical talents later in the evening, thrilling his guests with song and music directed to his new bride. The Deuces Wild Dueling Pianos could not have been better. What a treat to have entertainment in the form of comedy, audience interaction, and rocking music. Everyone was on the dance floor bustin' a move, and literally rolling on the floor.

We cannot thank Erin, Paul, and their families enough for letting us be a part of their wedding celebration, it was one for the record books and will not be forgotten, ever! Our only regret is that we don't live closer so we could continue to offer our services when this couple starts a family... BTW, we do travel you two... :-)

We only wish we could have found an even longer version of the first dance song to show more of the images from the day, so see a slide show of the days events here.
