Alexa & Jeff | MARRIED!! | Madison Wedding & Portrait Photographer

I have been so excited to be able to blog about this wedding!

these two were soooo much fun to work with!

it was so much fun to spend the day surrounded by their friends and family as they got married.

these two are cute, fun, and love to laugh!

it was so easy to take a TON of photos

and...not gonna lie...it was HARD to pick out favorites to blog about!

the best part about these two is that they are high school sweethearts :)

Kim & I started out by meeting the girls at the church so that they could get ready.

the boys came shortly after that.

so it was fun to flip-flop back and forth between the guys and girls

before the girls slipped into their dresses we took some photos of the guys.

and, if you remember from their engagement session, Jeff is a marine

and one of his groomsmen is a marine as well!

I just love this added element in weddings

I feel like it makes the groom pop just as much as the bride :)

after portraits with the guys, it was time to get the girls ready.

and let me tell you...Alexa's dress was GORGEOUS!

then it was time for a few quick shots and then ceremony time!

after the ceremony we headed over to the captiol.

and yes, this was my FIRST TIME EVER...driving to the capitol.

and my second time AT the capitol.

I know, I know....I need to get out more ;)

anyway, taking photos at the capitol was awesome.

but SUUUPPPPERRRR busy.

there were at least 3 other wedding parties there while we were there!

then it was back to Columbus to party the night away!

take a look at some of my favorites!

Suzanne & Steve | MARRIED! | Lake Geneva Wedding & Portrait Photographer

happy weekend!

today I have the full post for Steve & Suzanne's big day!

and what a day it was!

it was so awesome to spend some time with these two and their awesome families.

it was also neat to be part of a small quaint wedding :)

its always nice to have a small gathering of people to watch two people that they love say their vows and become man and wife.

these two were full of energy the whole day!

Steve kept telling me how lucky he was to have such a beautiful bride!

and he was so right! 

this was my first time meeting Steve and Suzanne...I am always a little nervous about meeting a couple for the first time, whether its on their wedding day or at the initial meeting. but, I had no reason to worry about these two! they were calm, cool and collected. they were both all smiles...allllll day long :D 

I love it when a couple just rolls with whatever the day brings...it makes my job so much easier when they concentrate on being Mr & Mrs :)

not only do they love each other, but also country, 80's rock and christian music, NASCAR, and chocolate! ahhh....I love it when clients love chocolate :) that normally means that there will be chocolate at some point in the night :D 

and yes, there was chocolate :D

m&m's

hehe! even better!

these two love being together as well...they even work for the same company! 

I would certainly describe them both as being funny, bubbly, and bursting with energy for a good time!

take a look at some images from Suzanne & Steve's day!

Suzanne & Steve | SNEAK PEAK! | Married | Lake Geneva, WI Wedding & Portrait Photographer

today I have for you a sneak peak of the Lake Geneva wedding that Kim & I shot this past weekend!

it was a small and quaint wedding with lots of family

I didn't realize that Lake Geneva was such a tourist attraction though! 

guess that goes to show you where I spent my summers ;)

not in Lake Geneva apparently

despite the heat an humidity that has been plaguing WI lately, Suzanne and Steve were all smiles :)

 I love the light in the photo above :D

 stop back soon for the full blog post!! :)
