Warning: This is going to be a long post! Amanda and Nate’s wedding was a long day and so deserves a long post! It was an incredible day filled with a lot of fun people, a lot of love and a LOT of dancing! Here are some images to give you an idea of the story of the day…










The wedding ceremony was at Fox River Church in Waukesha. We then traveled to Lake Geneva for some photos and the reception.


We stopped for some ice cream on the boardwalk – a tradition for Amanda and Nate.


Amanda did a great job coordinating the look and feel of the reception! It was held in the beautiful Lake Geneva Riviera



As I said, there was a LOT of dancing. And it was good…


I love this series of Amanda’s dad channeling his inner rock star:



Thank you Amanda and Nate for allowing me to be part of this amazing day. May God bless you with many years of marriage, love and happiness together!

Blair and Mohammed, this year’s winners of the free wedding photography contest, joined the fun and talented Jamie Swanson and me for their engagement session a few weeks ago. We headed into the Third Ward in Milwaukee for the shoot. It was a fantastic day – little drizzle and all. Be sure to check out the photos Jamie got at her blog. I think she just absolutely nailed them!
Below are some of my favorites of mine from the shoot. I shot using only my 50mm f/1.4 to force me to be a little more creative. Special thanks to Jamie for that amazing umbrella! Blair and Mohammed – we are really looking forward to your wedding day – you guys are just a blast! Be practicing your GQ look! ;-)

A few weeks ago, my wife Jessica and I were present for the most joyful wedding of Jennifer and Ben. And I’m not kidding – these two, their families and friends are all a riot. They were cracking jokes left and right and everyone was laughing… a lot. I loved it! Even “Grandma” was in on it – and she was funny!
Thanks Jennifer and Ben letting us be part of your celebration!
And you can see some photos from their engagement session back on this post.

A few years ago, three couples we knew each had a baby boy. Those boys are turning three this year and I was able to spend some time capturing two of them recently. These little guys sure have a special place in my heart. They all have really adorable younger sisters also, but this one’s for the boys.


I probably got him in trouble on this one. His mom said to stop but when she left I told him to do it again (because I wanted to capture it!) Sorry Kate! ;-)
