{sneak peek} ruth + chris, spring green

I know I've been posting the latest sneak peeks on facebook, let's change that shall we?

My friend Ruth gets a hold of me a while back to shoot her engagement session. She's met this amazing man and they are getting married next year and would love for Rob and I to take them out and get some shots of them. Then she says, how do you feel about shooting at Taliesin? Taliesin?! Frank Lloyd Wright's home?! I'm totally down with that, let's do it! So we drove down to Spring Green last night and got some amazing shots, the light was perfect (I may not envy those Southern California photographers ever again!), Ruth looked amazing, and Chris was great. It was the first time I met Chris and although we all got bit up a bit by the horde of mosquitoes, we all had a blast.

Here's a little teaser to tide you over and I promise that I will from now on post to the blog first, especially since I've finally figured out how to fix the tiny image problem. Look at this huge shot! I am so in love with it!

{in love} emily + dave, devil's lake, baraboo, wi

We had been a bit worried about rain on the day of Emily and Dave's Get to Know You Session, but our worries were for nothing. The entire evening was perfectly gorgeous. Emily and Dave are naturals in front of the camera. They are so sweet together that all I wanted to do was hug them. Seriously, the way that they could just tune out the camera and just focus on each other was amazing, each little gesture was filled with love.

It's sessions like this that reaffirm why we do photography. Adorable. Check out the images yourself and see what I mean. The whole session was perfect, from the light and location, to the love we captured.












As always, feel free to leave us some blog love!

{in love} Ashley + Eric, Madison, WI

Let me tell you all about Ashley and Eric. They are so perfect for each other. We were a little worried about the rain ruining the session, and we did get a teensy bit wet, but after ten or twenty minutes, I wasn't counting, the rain stopped and we got some gorgeous cloud coverage. There have been amazing skies all week and we got some awesome shots to go along with our awesome couple. We headed out to a little park on the outskirts of Madison, where Eric proposed. I totally made him reenact things, it was awesome.

Ashley then suggested we drive down the road. I love the locations! First: gorgeous park with lots of stuff, bridge, rocks, grass, oh yeah. Second: amazing grungy buildings with train tracks, what could be better? Take a look at what we found.

{in love} dan + alejandra, 8.30.09

Ok, you've got me, I'm super super late on posting Dan and Ale's engagement shoot! I should be posting their amazing wedding from last month, but life has been so crazy hectic that I am so far behind. What's amazing is that both Dan and Alejandra are over 6 feet tall, yeah really. Now, I don't usually feel short, but today I did. I'm used to Rob being taller than me, but I'm fairly tall for a girl. The best part is that Dan and Alejandra were, basically, set up because they were both so tall, isn't that funny, and they totally hit it off together.

They are so easy going, just wait for the wedding post and you'll see how Alejandra rocked the high heels in her beautiful lace covered gown!

Take a look at this gorgeous couple, we just shot around Ale's parents house in Madison, and had a blast:

{love} lisa + jake, chula vista, wis deslls

I am so far behind on posting, and I do apologize for that. Some of you may remember Lisa and Jake's engagement session from a couple months ago. Well, we shot their wedding the end of August (yes, I'm that far behind!) at the beautiful Chula Vista resort in Wisconsin Dells.

The day was beautiful, I think that we just get blessed with gorgeous days. Lisa and Jake got married outside beneath the blue sky and towering trees, who could have asked for a prettier backdrop! Lisa's dress was gorgeous, and I loved her flowers, who wouldn't with that hot pink?

Plus, for the reception, each table had their very own cake! How sweet is that? I love cake. We had a blast, and we set up our photobooth for the first time at the reception. What a hit!

So, take a look, I hear a crying baby, so need to hurry off, enjoy!

Look at how cute Levi is here, he would be a great model.

{in love} stephanie + dan, baraboo, wi

We first met Stephanie with her mom when they came to check us out. We knew that if they booked, it would be the first week in August that we could meet Dan and do their engagement shoot. I was worried since my due date was July 31st, but baby came early and when Stephanie called to say she wanted to book, Rob told her the news.

Needless to say, when they came up for their engagement shoot, I slowly followed with Jamie in a sling while Rob did all the hard work. Although, he really didn't have to work that hard, these two are pros at modeling. And smiling. Stephanie and Dan were so much fun to work with. Can you tell Dan is a football player? He plays down in Indiana, which is why we didn't have a big window of opportunity for their engagement shoot, he only came up to visit for a week.

We took them to downtown Baraboo and got some amazing shots. It's always exciting, we try to do something different with each couple, whether that's a new location, a new pose or just going off the spur of the moment. I know we're going to have so much fun at their wedding next year. Enjoy the images, Rob picked his favourites:

{love} jen + bart, waunakee, wi, 8.8.09

It's taken me a bit longer to get this post up than usual, I will blame it on the baby!

When we woke up on Jen and Bart's wedding day, we were a little worried, the sky was grey and it was raining! Not a good thing for an outdoor wedding, but by the time we started the storm clouds blew away, leaving great big gorgeous white fluffy clouds and a beautiful day!

Jen and Bart met before the ceremony and we drove down to Madison for some kicking formals at the Union Terrace, which is where they had their first date, and then at the Capital. Not only were Jen and Bart amazing, but they had an awesome wedding party and were up for all the crazy things we asked them to do! Believe me, some things we ask are truly crazy, but if you're willing to put your trust in us, we will make some amazing images.

After finishing up the formals in Madison, we headed back up to Waunakee for the ceremony, which was performed by Bart's dad, awesome cape by the way, I think that Bart needs to get one of his own. The light was perfect and luscious, and I loved the red rose petals carpeting the grass, if you couldn't tell by all the pictures I took of those! The whole day was loads of fun. Dinner was fabulous and the cake cutting, well, there was no cake. Jen and Bart had pie! Seriously, how sweet is that?! Several different flavours, I tried the Reese's and Rob had pecan, with whipped cream, we love sweets.

Everyone was on the dance floor when we left, the DJ was playing the best dance music, nothing lame for this group. I love it when the music is hopping and there are tons of people on the dance floor.

Congrats, Jen and Bart, you two make an amazing couple!
