Amanda & AJ | MARRIED! | Sheboygan Falls, WI Wedding & Lifestyle Photographer

well, it has been a hot minute since I blogged last!

my life has been super crazy & busy these past few weeks.

good, bad and ugly all rolled into one.

that's not why I'm blogging today tho, some day, maybe, I'll share :)

so in all of this busy-ness over the past several weeks I have:

shot 6 weddings

had a bunch of engagement sessions

done a few portrait in the park sessions

AND worked my other job.

along with a bunch of other junk.

to say the past month and a half has flown past me is an understatement.

but, the best part is I get to spend time with some amazing people.

and take amazing photos of those people.

today, Amanda & AJ are on the blog!

these two were one of the first couples to book with me.

so, they truly hold a special place in my heart.

they were willing to take a chance and book with me when I hadn't shot very many weddings.

so, thank you seems to be an understatement on my part!

these two were great to work with!

Kim was with me second shooting, and we were able to take some fantastic images!

their wedding was on 9-10-11.

in Amanda's parent's backyard.

on one of the nicest days in September.

just as the trees were starting to turn colors.

we have truly been lucky this fall...gorgeous weather (70's!!!!) & beautiful colors.

heaven.

now...onto the photos!!

 the flowers were beautiful! I love the colors!

 getting ready...yes...in the same house...just different levels :)

 the boys, the girls, and the bride & groom

 ceremony time!

 lots of laughs & tears, it was a very touching ceremony

 married!!

 we stopped at riverview middle school in plymouth for some photos...I had never been there before...it was great!

 after dinner we snuck outside for some bride & groom portraits.

I love old barns :D

 so naturally we had to have some portraits by it

 mmmm....sun flare :D

Amanda & AJ,

thank you so much for allowing us to capture your day!! we had a ton of fun!

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!

xoxo
