Lately. | Personal | Sheboygan Wedding & Portrait Photographer

well, howdy!

I know, things have been pretty quiet on the blog lately.

life has been pretty crazy lately.

and honestly...I can't believe...IT'S NOVEMBER.

seriously...where did the year go?

I feel like I say that every year.

but every year I feel like time gets a little bit faster :(

sometimes I want to just freeze time for a hot minute and never have to move forward

the best part is that lately its been like 60* outside.

amazing.

having these temps this time of year...makes me really not want the winter to come. 

I like mid-50's & 60's :)

so, in reality this post is really just me checking in...

to let y'all know that I have some awesome posts coming up

because I have had some of the most amazing couples & families to take photos of over the past few months :D 

anndddd I am SOOO excited for 2012!

so many possibilities and opportunities!

I seriously cannot wait to see where and what this next year brings :)

check back soon for some wedding, engagement, and family goodness!

Carlie & Rory | MARRIED! | Sheboygan, Wisconsin Wedding & Portrait Photographer

a couple days ago I posted a sneak peak of Carlie & Rory's wedding.

this wedding was so much fun. 

Kim came along as my second shooter and was able to spend a good part of the morning with the boys as they got ready, as I hung out with the girls. 

these two [and their bridal party & friends] were so much fun! 

the day started out with the girls getting ready at the salon and the boys getting ready at Blue Harbor.

then it was time to go to the church and get married!

after the getting married we stopped out at North Point Park.

I really love being so close to Lake Michigan.

unfortunately there were some menacing rain clouds that decided to make its way over our heads.

but the clouds did make for some neat pictures :)

after portraits, we headed to the reception to party the night away!

Carlie & Rory really love to laugh, go on adventures and just be together.

you can totally tell in all of their photos how happy they are together.

which...makes my job SOOOO much easier.

I absolutely LOVE the way they look at eachother. 

here are some of my favorites :)

 hair did

 makeup

 I got a new hanger :D yessssss I <3 it...it really spruces up the photo ;) so now...I can bring it to all of my weddings!

 I really loved Carlie's dress. it was so elegant

 something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue :)

 the ladies...fake laughing! 

which...always turns into real laughing :)

 beautiful bride

 these photos are from Kim...love the brotherly love going on in this one

 this is one of my absolute FAVORITES!

 I am also super impressed with the boys' heel tapping abilities!

 one of my favorite moments & looks of the day :)

just before the first kiss

 aren't they just adorable?!

 I also love it when couples for-go the traditional guest book and get a photo guest book :)

the one that Carlie & Rory have, I made...so it was extra special for me ;)

but I also think its a great way for guests to leave more personal notes for the couple

 annnnddddd theeeessseeeee ladies!!!

I swear...I sit with some of THE best people at weddings! 

so much fun and laughing during dinner!

Carlie & Rory, 

thank you so much for letting Kim & I photograph your day! it was so much fun to be part of one of the biggest days of your life. I hope you enjoyed your honeymoon!

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! 

 boys...getting ready :)

 loved the flowers! the pink roses matched the bridesmaid dresses perfect!

 the ladies...last minute touches

 alexa's dress was beautiful!!

 I just love this photo

 

the guys

 more details :)

 married!!!

 these two jumping photos are probably my favorite

 and this photo...ummmm....yea. love. it.

 two cakes! and..yummy cake too!

 and one last one...love it when a someone's flash works with my camera :)

Alexa & Jeff,

thank you so much for letting us be part of your day! we had so much fun capturing this huge day. I hope your new life in the big city of Madison is everything you want it to be!!

Stop by facebook to leave them some love! or leave it here on the blog ;)
