Jenna and Brett's engagement session was the first e-shoot for the 2012 wedding season. This super sweet couple chose the Green Bay Botanical Gardens for the first portion of the shoot and the Meyer Theatre for the second.

Their wedding will be held at Old St. Joe's on the St. Nobert Campus. I just love weddings at St. Norbert... the church is gorgeous and the campus is a great place to walk around for the post-ceremony photo session. Their reception is also at another favorite of mine, Thornberry Creek Golf Course. You can beat the light and overall setting they provide for their wedding receptions.

Jenna and Brett are not only planning for a wedding, but planning on becoming homeowners soon. I wish them the best of luck finding the perfect place!

Enjoy a few of my favorites from their engagement session...

I can't wait to see Beth and Troy get married in October. I've actually known Beth before I started my photography business more than 7 years ago when I taught dance classes. Since then Beth has been awarded top honors for the dance team she coaches at Little Chute High School - these girls just brought home 1st place!!!

As for Troy... I am enamored with the love an affection he shows Beth. You can really tell that he loves every part of her and brings out her very best side.

Enjoy a bit of Beth and Troy's favorites from their engagement session.... 

We are kicking off our 2011 wedding season this weekend. I have three weddings in a row this winter and I am so excited to shoot out in the fresh snow! (or whatever Mother Nature decides to throw at me!)

Jenny and Kory had a warm and heartfelt break from their busy lives during our engagement session downtown Appleton last fall. We warmed up with coffee at the Harmony Café - these two have a passion for coffee and it was fun to incorporate it in a way that was true to them.

Here's to the start of a wonderful season of capturing love at it's finest!

I am so excited for 2011! I have an amazing group of couples that I cannot wait to photograph. Allie and Jordan are one of those couples...

This adorable pair from Chicago are just too cute for words. Their personal flair, infectious smiles and their adoring love for each other make me so anxious to photograph their wedding at North Shore Golf Club this summer.

This fall had been so good to me and my engagement couples! The light, colors and temperature have all cooperated so nicely!

Mollie and Matt and I sandwiched this super colorful engagement session between two extremely scattered downpours. I can't wait to photograph their spring wedding in Door County!

We hit all the cool spots near Millennium Park in Chicago - so much fun! This was the first time I had met Shannon and Kenny in person. They booked me over a year ago over the phone - living out of state and being super busy didn't allow for an in-person meeting.

I am super excited for their wedding this weekend. Kenny is from Ireland and I'm excited to meet his family, see their traditions and most of all hear his fabulous Irish accent. Shannon has a great sense of style and is in school finishing her Graphic Design degree. The Chicago couple is getting married back home in Wisconsin on Saturday, just in time for peak fall colors.

Molly and Brian and I had a fantastic time during their engagement shoot at High Cliff State Park. This park has breathtaking views and is one of our favorite spots to go hiking. High Cliff is also the perfect place for an outdoor wedding ceremony in the Fox Cities. Just don't plan your wedding during the lake fly hatch... lake flies are known to be a nuisance and will stain your white wedding dress!

The park is a special place for the couple...Molly grew up down the road on Fire Lane 1 and Brian did an internship at the park. I bet they wouldn't have guessed they would find themselves strutting in front of a camera years later!

This couple is so in love and very easy to photograph. They booked my wedding package more than almost two years in advance! I'd say they put their wedding photography on the top of their priority list.

Here are some of my favorite shots from the day. The sumac tree shots are my absolute favorite!!!

Enjoy!








Tonight I'm meeting with Cortney and Bryant to finalize details of their upcoming wedding. I thought it was ironic that it is so very warm outside today and their engagement shoot was the coldest I've ever shot. The session last December was something like negative 14 degrees with the windchill.

I decided to share some of these wintery engagement photos just to prove how beautiful a session can be even in the cold and snow. Luckily, we were able to take a few breaks from shooting amongst the frigid temps in a cute little coffee shop downtown Appleton.









Don't get me wrong... I love a warm summer day! I am actually looking forward a warm weekend - my last official weekend of maternity leave. I will be returning to work in the studio on June 1 - and I plan to announce some exciting news!!!
