Stevens Point Bridal Fair

To all the beautiful new brides I met this last weekend at the bridal fair ... CONGRATS on your engagements.
It was great to meet you and I look forward to working with you on your big days. I know that this can be an overwhelming time with so much to plan, so please if you have any questions or need any suggestions please don't hesitate to call.
To make your searching this site a bit easier I am going to take out all posts that aren't wedding related so you can see all wedding slide shows quickly and easily.
Again, please call with any questions or to set up an appointment.
Happy planning! Em

adam & jenn's happy new years celebration!

The biggest congrats go out to my newest bride and groom, Adam and Jenn. They were married on New Years Eve here in Stevens Point. What an awesome idea to be able to celebrate your wedding anniversary on New Years Eve! If I could re-do my wedding date I would for sure have our wedding on New Years. We had such a great time capturing your celebration.
The fun started with the ceremony with funny stories and captures a few giggles with Adam and Jenn. It was a beautiful ceremony and one of my favorite parts of the wedding celebration. It always is a great reminder to hear what is said about marriage and always leaves me wishing Will was with me during work so we could give a wink to each other during the ceremony!
The reception was at the Holiday Inn and they did a great job. The champagne fountain they had looked great, Over the Top Entertainment rocked the house with music, and Flowers of the Field did an amazing job once again with the decorations.
Thanks again for a great New Years Eve. The slideshow will follow soon. All the best to you. Em



















With the pictures below I got some inspiration from the Britney Spears video "Circus" video I saw before the wedding. Obviously we didn't have any animals or crazy dancers but I loved using the lights from the dj and my own lighting to spice things up a bit!

SURPRISE MAMA!!!!

Right before new years my sister and her husband Ryan came home for a visit. The catch you ask .... Mom was the only one in the family that didn't know about the surprise. So when Megan and Ryan pulled in we told mom that she had to put a blind fold on because we had another gift for her that just came in the mail but we needed to set it up. So we put the blind fold on, had Dad play along, and then we brought them down to stand in front of her. She had no idea what was going on, and as you can see, she was super surprised!!!
Thanks Meg and Ryan for the visit. It was so good to see you. Love you, Em

Merry Christmas!
We are up in Cable, Wisconsin for the holiday with my parents and my husband. It is a winter wonderland up here as you can tell from the picture. I was shocked as we drove closer. It was so beautiful. I forced Will to stop the car on our way in so I could take this picture. It truly looks like Narnia.
I hope this finds everyone happy, healthy, and enjoying each other. All the best to you. I will post more soon for I have an awesome wedding shoot on New Years Eve.
All the best to you, Em

up north!

Will and I have had the best time this last week up in northern Wisconsin at my parents house for deer hunting opener and hanging out! I spent some time catching up on some work stuff, hanging out with mom, drinking some wine, catching up on sleep, laughing, watching mom cook, eating the amazing food, chilling with family that came to visit, and walking around in the woods with the men.
Below are some outdoor surprises I found while helping Will put up his tree stands.







And my hunter! Can you see him?



Here is the new beaver dam we found on the property. Wow, have they been busy beavers! The pond to the left used to be a small stream.



Beaver food!



And here are Lucy and Cleo my parents lovely dogs. Mom and daughter team that rule the Reichert house. The "girls" as Dad calls them continue to make us laugh. They have such personalities, how can you not love them?



And going outside you must wear your orange! Just kidding, we don't make them wear hats ... we were just fooling around.





After a busy day of entertaining me, it was time for a nap!



Here is one of the clearest nights we saw. This is a great example of why I love my D3 camera. This picture below was taken outside at sunset with no tripod! Amazing. I continue to be in awe of what this camera can do! Thank you Nikon!!!



Thank you Mom and Dad for hosting us for the week. We had such a great time.
We love you!

I'm so glad that you invited us out to Verona for every time we walked over a hill there were even more perfect setting for our shoot.
I hope you are as pleased with the photos as I am. I think you guys look amazing. Thanks again. Em
