andy & megan, madison wedding photographer

I adored everything about this wedding.  Every detail was perfect.  I was so impressed with how much creativity Megan, her family and her vendors had for this day.   Everything down to the wire that held the flowers together matched.  It was a photographers day in heaven.  

And once again the storms, hail and rain stopped just in time for the ceremony and celebration to start and be held outside at a private home on the roof of the boat house.  Oh how the Lord is good!

I'm so excited to share about how gorgeous everything was that I forgot to start at the beginning.  This is a true love story that has been in the making for 15 years.  Andy and Megan are high school sweetie that finally were brought back together to make the story complete.  I have known Andy for 11 years now and have always heard about this 'Megan.'  I finally met her this last fall and when I entered her into my phone I immediately gave her Andy's last name as I saw the twinkle in Andy's eye and had a feeling he wasn't going to let her get away this time!  

I am so thrilled for you to finally be together and look forward to many years of love for you and friendship for us.  Many cheers of celebration!  All my love, Em

Cheers to my newest bride and groom, Tom & Amy.  Amy's description of unconditional love had me tear up during their ceremony.  I am confident that they have the tools to make a great marriage.  

The wedding day weather wasn't one most brides or grooms would pick out.  It was raining! A lot!  But just as we left Saint Bronz church in Plover, we were blessed and the rain let up.  We were given the perfect setting for outdoor photos.  Always having a plan B is key for Wisconsin's changing weather!

I took Amy and Tom to some of my secret, or not so secret locations, to match with Amy's favorite color green.  The spring time growth really popped Saturday and added beautiful color to their photos.  After our session we took the party to the Holiday Inn and let Over the Top Entertainment continue the fun.  

I'm thrilled for you both and am thankful for your energy and love on Saturday.  We had so much fun with you and your wedding party.  All the best,  Em

my new love miss bailey, Stevens Point photographer

Meet out new puppy, Bailey.  We have debated for years about getting a dog.  We finally took the leap after spending some time with our friends dog Lola and falling in love with her and her breed, which is Lhasapoo.   It took us a while to find a breeder that we trusted but when we found Cathy on the internet we knew.   Check out her website with live puppy videos and great homemade treat recipes.   Thank you Cathy, we adore her and as you can see below she still loves her Lamby!

We are totally in love with her and can't wait for you to meet her too!  The vet said she is super social ... my husbands response, "Just like her Mom!"  

I couldn't help but to take some shots of her during our first weeks together.  I just love the shadow pictures below. Who knew that I would have such an Artzy Fartzy dog!

My new favorite smiling girlfriend is Miss Lily Horton.  What a bundle of joy.  The smiles were full and she was in total flirty mode.  Skirt above her head and everything.  Wendy and Tim, your going to have your hands full!  Lily, I love watching you and your brother grow up and am so blessed to have such wonderful friends in your parents.  May God continue to bless your family and our friendship.  All my love, Em

looking forward to summer .the Everrett. Stevens Point Wedding Photographer

Need a sense that summer is on it's way?  Check out The Everett in Eagle River, WI.  Last summer I had the privilege of shooting a wedding at this fabulous family owned resort.  After the wedding the owners had me back to The Everett to take images of their awesome property.  Thank you Tim and Peg for including me in this project.  I adore your property and was thrilled to be included in a small bit of it's history.
I was going to wait to promote the images until their site was updated, but with such cold weather I needed a reminder that the weather will soon be warmer.  Hope this helps you too!
