What? no smiles?

This little guy has a mind of his own, mom says he can be stubborn. We had a glimmer of a smile on a few shots.. but I think we will have to be funnier the next time Riley comes to visit--->
"Charlie, get out that clown suit!"

BATAVIA!

What a cute little town in Illinois, where this couple has taken up residence prior to their Wedding date in TWO WEEKS!

Ashley and Tony will be wed in Door County on July 3rd.
We all got behind schedule when it came to taking these warm up shots..but they needed no prodding to look like they were in love.

Jenna is growing, and on the go!

At 6 months this little girl looks like she will skip crawling and head right to walking. She is a delightfully happy baby girl.

Erin as Model

Kate, our associate photographer and long time daughter, has a friend who doesn't mind modeling. So Kate has been doing some fashion shooting with Erin, both of them having fun in the process.

Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | Ashley & Nick

I loved this image, but then there were bunches from yesterday that I LOVED! Nick was adamant that they be to their cocktail hour by 5:00, which could have been a bit of a problem since the wedding was at 3:00 and the formals did not begin until 3:45...we fit formals, travel, and all of the fun wedding party shots along with those beautiful romantic images into less than one hour.
EVERYONE was happy, us included. It paid off for us to arrive in Racine and plan every composition ahead of time.

A special thank you to the Families of the bride and groom, and to Nick and Ashley for yet another wonderful wedding. We feel so blessed to have clients like you.

Wedding : Holy Communion Lutheran Church

The day after a big wedding, Liz and Dale, host baptism for their new grand daughter and mark it with a great family photo.

Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | Jackie & Dale

Too cool... near the lake that is...
This couple was so much fun to work with. We suggested playing on the beach yesterday afternoon ( I thought it was going to start snowing!) Everyone was good natured about the antics we had them perform. Congratulations to Jackie and DJ.
Special thanks to David and Justin from Milwaukee Sound & Light for keeping the party moving!

Sylvia Louise has arrived....

and she is beautiful!

Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | Tina and Scott

It was a blind date they told us, set up by a co-worker, at where else.. the ALE HOUSE.

Charlie and I met Tina and Scott at another wedding, we feel that perhaps we strong armed Scott into using our services, but we don't care! We are going to have so much fun photographing this couple taking their vows. we cannot wait to shoot at the Villa Terrace, and to party down with their friends and family afterward. No doubt the pictures will be so stunning that we will have to buy another car.. if you know what I mean. :)

the Trexell Family

It doesn't take much to make a family look beautiful. Especially when you have three good looking people to work with. We used Lake Nagawicka as our backdrop for this shoot.

Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | Jenny & Kevin

What a wedding! We had an outstanding time photographing Jenny and Kevin plus the family and friends who surround them. So much fun, this group was not shy on the dance floor, thanks to Gary H. from Midwest Sound & Light for keeping the party moving. The party rolled on from what I hear until the wee hours!

A special thanks to our hosts on both sides, we truly enjoyed this event and were happy to be a part of such a wonderful occasion.

BARGAIN WEDDING DRESSES

On the morning show they are talking about purchasing a dress from resale shops..here's a fine example my daughter's friend just found this one and she did a model shoot for Kate and fellow photogs.

But how about Cleaners -I'll bet there are actually dresses that get abandoned at the dry cleaners after the wedding. Brides should check all of these venues.

A special thank you to Erin our model!

Dapper DOG

While working on last weekends wedding I could not resist posting this adorable picture of the couple's dog in front of our SMART CAR. The Tux and Top hat seem to suit him!

Isabelle Sweet, is as sweet as her name implies

Even though this 3 month old had the sniffles, she was still able to give us a few grins for the camera.

Madison Wedding Photographers | Christine & Mike

Madison in spring on a beautiful day what could be better? Unless you add two people who fell in love in Madison, then the potion really works!

We cannot wait to shoot this wedding which will take place at the Contemporary Museum of Art in 2010. Hold on to your hats kids, because this year will FLY by!

time to catch up-Grilling to Give

On Friday before our wedding this past weekend, we spent some time with the photography students at Oconomowoc High school. There was the opportunity to show them some stuff about posing and to talk about their new SPIDER LIGHT, and how to use it.

Then we headed outdoors to participate in Grilling to GIVE...It was there that the photography class took pictures of attendees, and made some money for the cause.

Thanks to Ms Mooney-Glatkowski who invited us to attend and work with her students.

Milwaukee Wedding Photographers | Abigail & Brad

Long time coming, but Abby and Brad finally tied the knot. High school sweethearts, and now man and wife, these two were surrounded by friends and family helping them celebrate their day.
Abby designed one of the most beautiful weddings, right down to the details; a small Police car to taxi up the isle, their adorable dog- in a tuxedo, and flowers, fish, and finery that decked out the Chandelier Ballroom like we have never seen. The only thing enforced by the cops, was a great time.

They're Expecting!

The whole family is waiting for little sister. Kayla will have a new playmate before you know it.
Congratulations to everyone, Sarah, Mike and Kayla.

Diana "the Huntress"

Not really more like Carrie the, the girl you should not mess with. What fun taking pictures of Carrie with her bow. A lot of guys might want to happen upon her in the woods!

Run Connor!

Lately it has been a challenge getting to see Connor do his thing at a track meet, he did not disappoint today!
