Kyndle & Alex | A Classic Country Club Wedding

As I culled & edited I found myself with the largest grin I could possible wear. Getting to experience their day all over again on my end just made my heart so happy. I feel so unbelievably lucky to have a front seat to one of the biggest days in a couples life not only on that day but afterwards….

John & Jennah | A Private Residence & Apple Orchard Wedding

They met while working at Edwards Orchard. Their first official chit chat happened amongst the mum patch. Wandering the rows and getting to know each other in those first few moments. As John turned around to see his bride, with the mum patch in the background, their love story had come full circle. John had a smile that reached his ears and he immediately walked towards Jennah for an embrace…..

Alex & Emily | An Appleton, WI wedding

If you could sum up Emily & Alex in one word it would be selfless. When Emily and I became friends on Facebook there was a common theme in her posts/shares. They were about community, supporting others, helping animals in need, and all around just kind hearted…..

Brad & Megan | The Ridge, Lake Geneva Garden Wedding

He stood at the end of aisle nervously bouncing his legs back and fourth and glances back at his groomsmen (it may have been heat induced but it was a sweet moment regardless). As Megan came into view Brad’s mouth dropped on and his eyes lit up. Brad adores Megan. I noticed it during their engagement session & then again on their wedding day. It’s so blatantly obvious in the way he looks at her…..

Jabin & Missy | Minnesota Greek Wedding

I watched as Jabin carefully ran his fingers through their son, Ethan’s, hair. Pushing every stray hair into place with a softness to his touch & love in his eyes. It’s those same eyes that came more alive when Missy tapped him on the shoulder during their first look……

Why I (& The Caynay Bride) Believe In USBs

It’s quickly becoming apparent that I’m an oddity in the 2016 photographer world.. Why? I still offer a tangible package to all my brides & grooms.
