This is such an American holiday with parades, fireworks and American flags, it screams summer to me. I hope you all go out and enjoy. I get to photograph an AMAZING couple in Stiles, WI on their family property which happens to be minutes from some of my family so I get to spend the weekend with them watch fireworks with them around the campfire! Happy Weekend Friends!</span>

Yeah, that's pretty much how this felt. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Maggie & Justin are amazing, sweet, genuine people. I met this over the winter for a little meet and greet and see if we were a good fit. Immediately I felt a great connection with these two and the feeling was mutual. At the session Maggie said she made that tulle skirt because this was their time to show their personalities, make an impact. We talked about connection and how important being a great fit is, Maggie & Justin are a perfect fit for me, they have a vision and understand mine. They know what it takes to make great photos together.<a href="http://www.justintrails.com/"> Justin Trails Resort </a>in Sparta was the perfect backdrop for engagement photos and their upcoming wedding in August!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This engagement session blew me away so I can hardly wait for the wedding. Enjoy!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Sarah and Shane really pulled out all the stops to make this their own. The amazing homemade wooden signs, the white tent with rustic details, the red barn backdrop. Simply perfect day and the weather was amazing! Sarah's family is so welcoming and wonderful too. Erin and I were putting the dress up and a branch was in our way and she jokingly said "don't ask for help they are so nice they would come with a chainsaw and cut down the tree for you" and that is exactly true, they were beyond supportive, helpful and most of all happy. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The day was filled with sunshine, smiles, amazing friends and family and a gorgeous bride and groom. Enjoy the preview.

The most amazing people find me to document they wedding days and I couldn't be happier about it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Ashley and Frank are among those amazing people. A forecast of non-stop rain, a muddy dress and wet chairs would normally discourage a couples spirit on their wedding day. Ashley & Frank chose to embrace what they were given and their family and friends followed suit. They even continued their outdoor ceremony, rain or shine. I love their spirit and the positive energy that they put out into our universe. It ended up being one of the most captivating weddings I have ever been a part of.</span><br />

I have shot 5 weddings so far this year and all have been an absolute joy to be a part of. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">
</span><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">This wedding season is filled with family farm weddings which is such a treat for me. I think if I were to re-do my wedding I would consider a family farm or rent a large house with an amazing yard. It's so intimate and personal and you can do whatever you want to. I love that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />

I know they are a wonderful family and Its always a treat to be around them, so when I heard Ashley got engaged to Valera I was really happy for them but when they contacted me for their wedding I was ecstatic! I know this is going to be a fabulous wedding in downtown Milwaukee at <a href="http://bartolottacatering.com/grain/">The Grain Exchange</a>. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I had a blast at their engagement session with Ashley and Valera showing me around the city they fell in love with/in. October cannot come soon enough! Enjoy the preview of this great session that started at <a href="http://colectivocoffee.com/cafes/third-ward/">Colectivo</a> Coffee and ended at the beach....</span>

I can't seem to post 1 photo. Anyway-</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Happy Friday! I have a weekend off and I just wanted to say, I have been shooting fabulous weddings and I'm sorry they are not blogged yet, I am really close to going live with my new blog and website (it's SUPER fabulous!) and I really want my new weddings to be blogged there so I am holding off a bit longer. I am sharing sneak peeks over on my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/danistephensonphotography?ref=hl">Facebook</a> page click <a href="https://www.facebook.com/danistephensonphotography?ref=hl">HERE</a> to follow me and see what I have been up to!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">So, a weekend off and I am taking the worlds GREATEST dad (I'm bias) to his favorite pastime- Brewer game at Miller Park, We can't wait! This is the 3rd year we've taken the boys and they ask me every day if today's the Brewer game. Every year it gets more fun as they get older. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I sometimes don't think Dad's know how important to a child's life they are. They may not schedule hair cuts and doctor appointments or make sure they have clean sheets and take their vitamins everyday and brush their teeth but they have a very large impact, my boys idolize their dad and I catch them saying things he would say and doing things he would do all the time. I wouldn't pick a better idol for them. He's a very special daddy, well balanced, he's tender when he needs to be and rough at times, he snuggles and wrestles, he teaches and plays. I couldn't be more proud of him. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">So to all the great dads out there, all the father's of the brides I get to meet, all the walking the daughter up the aisles I see, all the father/daughter dances, all the father's speeches at weddings, all the dad's that the grooms have made their best man............ You Go Dad.</span> <br />

So many that if they were to all book me I would be darn near full for 2015! A girl can dream right?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">So, with all these inquiries comes questions and I thought it would be something my blog followers/ readers would like to know, if it doesn't interest you, there are pretty pictures to look at! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><em>Client:</em> How many years have you been shooting weddings?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><em>Me:</em> I shot my first wedding solo in 2008, I worked under other photographers for about a year before that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><em>Client:</em> What is your favorite venue?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><em>Me:</em> There are so many! I would say my favorite "type" of venue is one where the ceremony and reception can be in one place and there is room to roam for photos and no strict restrictions that limit creative photos (such as church policies, etc).</span> <br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/95146545@N06/14358732535/" title="IMG_0483 copy by dstephensonphoto, on Flickr"><img alt="IMG_0483 copy" height="683" src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2900/14358732535_da96646c03_b.jpg" width="1024" /></a>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><em>Client:</em> How would you describe your style?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><em>Me:</em> Natural and genuine, I do not like overly posed or unnatural photos, they have to come naturally for me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><em>Client:</em> What is your most popular wedding package? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><em>Me:</em> 6 or 8 hours are definitely my most popular, I offer 4,6,8 & 10 hour packages to fit most budgets but hands down my 6 or 8 is most popular. </span><br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><em>Client</em><strong>:</strong> What is your favorite part of a wedding day?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><em>Me:</em> The getting ready photos! the last moments before you get married, the anticipation and excitement gets me every time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><em>Client:</em> Do you edit all the photos?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><em>Me:</em> Yes, every photo is edited. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><em>Client:</em> Do you use photoshop?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><em>Me:</em> Actually no, I have photoshop, I know how to use photoshop but I edit my photos in Lightroom. There is a myth about photoshop, it's not magical. I can't make the changes that most people believe I can, and I wouldn't want to. I want my photos to be naturally imperfect.</span> <br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><em>Client:</em> How many weddings do you shoot a year and how do you choose?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><em>Me:</em> I usually cap at 15 weddings per year, this year 3 more squeaked in, the couples were too adorable to pass up. I choose weddings based on #1 availability, #2 connection with the couple and #3 venue (as a natural light photographer some venues are not a good fit for me.)</span> <br />

My point of view is still there, I think my style is the same but I have definitely evolved as a photographer, which is a good thing, always keep improving right? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">One common thing I have found is that my very favorite is dining alfresco! Dinners and receptions outdoors (although they are few and far between) but when they happen are magical. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I'm tossing out some inspiration for couples to be- if you are uncertain of a wedding venue, uncertain of wedding venue costs, and want something fun and different than the same old convention center, you should look into a few new ideas for wedding which I love. Such as, renting a big beautiful house (or mansion) anywhere in the world on </span><a href="http://vrbo.com/"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">VRBO.com</span></a><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">- I mean <em>ANYWHERE</em>, rent it for the weekend, bring in some tables and chairs and put together a few DIY decorations and yummy food...Viola! Amazing wedding. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">You will see a LOT more of this type of wedding from me this year, starting with Tiffany & Jay's Cooksville Schoolhouse wedding, but they are in Ireland on their honeymoon so we're holding off until they return, until then check out Andrew & Alison's Al Fresco </span><a href="http://keywestweddingguide.com/"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Key West Wedding</span></a><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> at </span><a href="http://hemingwayhome.com/"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Ernest Hemmingway's</span></a><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> beautiful home....Have you been to Key West? DO.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Oh and BTW I have some killer destination Wedding specials for the months of January-April- wink..wink...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New;"></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">You know what is great? You don't have to have a "beach" wedding because your at the beach....</span>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">We just received your package last night! How sweet! You made us even MORE excited to work with you! I have been slacking on being a very proactive bride (besides photography).

So many things making me happy today I feel like jumping on the bed!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">My little brother is graduating high school,and we're going to my very fav place for dinner, my little niece is a month old today, she is beautiful and healthy! My inbox has a steady flow on 2015 inquiries that are making me giddy, I got my first design concepts from my web designer, they look amazing! I'm all caught up on my editing and can relax all weekend with no to do list! The 3 B's - Beers, besties and Bonfires! The weather is amazing!! Summer Shandy is back! Our house project is underway, and although we have to skip our annual camping trip this weekend, it will all be worth it in the end. </span><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">And....it's a 3 day weekend! </span><br />

We met over lunch one day and I immediatley knew I wanted to work with her. I was overjoyed when she decided to book me for her wedding. Then at the engagement session I met Jared, her perfect match. The sweetest couple ever who are so genuine and really fun to be around. They really "get it" when it comes to weddings. Plus, </span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">I could never get enough of <a href="http://www.barnharvestmoon.com/">The Barn at Harvest Moon Pond</a>.</span><span style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;"> Needless to say their wedding was beautiful and a dream job for me. A beautiful venue, amazing bride and groom, her dress, and a super fun wedding party makes my job the best. I couldn't be happier with this day! Congrats Mr. & Mrs. Miller!</span><br />

The happy couple went flea marketing for mismatched beer glasses, mugs and wine glasses for their guests to choose from! Love this idea. I actually scored a wine glass from Burr Oak Winery where I got married! How meant to be is that?!

Rachel was breathtaking, her dress was perfection and I love how she didn't let her bridesmaids see it until she was in it. That reaction is classic! If you can hold out, don't let everyone see your dress beforehand, what a moment.

I know it's coming, it's been booked for a year + but still I am a deer in headlights. I'm a hypocrite because I complain about people (hi mom) who procrastinate Christmas, (Hello it comes the same date every year). Every year I always wonder how I could do things better but I really try to pay attention to how much better I already do things now compared to over the years!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I have really learned how to gracefully say no to clients and sessions that were simply not a good fit for me. I have learned to say "All the best to you" to the inquiries that pass me by, I have learned that I am not very competitive and I don't care much what others are doing, where they shot, or who they shot. I have learned I have a knack for choosing super awesome clients, (No, seriously I really do, It's a gift), I have learned I do not need to take every wedding, session or random request that comes at me. I learned how to work smarter, not harder. I learned most of all, finally how to balance my life (better anyway).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Everyone has their own reasons for doing what they do in life. I'm not trying to win any races or contests or get rich here. I'm shooting weddings for couples who I met and connected with and just knew I wanted to be part of their big day. I am doing something just for me, something that feeds my creativity and something that fills my heart with joy. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">These people filled my heart. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Jared and Rachel Miller married at <a href="http://www.barnharvestmoon.com/">The Barn at Harvest Moon Pond</a> on May 9, 2014 more of this amazing wedding to come to the blog on Monday!</span> <br />

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">You know, I have met a lot of brides over the past 6-7 years. There are all types, (luckily I haven't encountered the bridezilla type.) I believe there are certain personality traits that can make a bride even more (naturally) beautiful in photos on her wedding day. I would know right? Care to know my favorite type of bride? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Here's goes like it or not....

<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Wedding season just days away, I'm feeling really thankful in life lately, Thankful I am organized, thankful I got my gear cleaned and repaired, thankful I have the ability to balance my schedule however I want to, thankful I learned to keep my eyes on my own paper, thankful for a car to drive, a house to live in, a thankful I have an amazing husband, (like superhuman amazing) and thankful for the cutest 2 little boys ever that light my entire world and on top of all of that, I am thankful I have a small world of photography I get to call my own. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Photography has brought me challenges that stood the test of time and the test of change, it fuels my creative side, challenge me and opens doors for me everyday. I feel with each year I grow as a photographer and a person and I couldn't be more thankful for it. I know someday I won't be a photographer anymore, but until then I am soaking up my time as a photographer with the amazing places it takes me and people I meet and moments I experience. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I'm a firm believer you should do what you love. Like all things, If I didn't love it, I wouldn't make room in my life for it. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This makes me so happy, when you inquiry with me and fill out that little contact form I don't get a whole lot of information, yes, I try to set up phone calls or Skype dates but everyone has busy schedules and email is always most convenient. There have been many many times when I haven't met the bride or groom until the wedding day, which can be a bit scary but thankfully I have never encountered a bridezilla, groomzilla or couplezilla! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">These dates are so important to me, I love to see couples interact with one another, what makes them comfortable, what makes them laugh and...what doesn't. This really breaks the ice before we start working together with the camera on. Nothing makes better photos than a happy, comfortable couple.</span><br />

I'm enjoying the downtime having weekends off and lots of relaxation, no time lines, no place to be, but also I am missing the weddings. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The couples, the silly wedding parties, the moments, the dresses and shoes, the speeches and first looks. The wedding cake and food, the cocktail hour and mingling, the first kiss and announcing the new husband and wife....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Truth be told, I really, really love the getting ready/pre-ceremony photos. I think that is a favorite part of the day, the excitement, the anticipation, the calm before the storm.</span><br />

Last year for Easter my family and I visited our family in Omaha Nebrasksa, um...I <em>LOVE</em> Omaha. I fell in love with it a couple years back when my sister in law moved there, there has even been discussions of us moving there at one time.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">It may not sound like a vacation spot, it's a big sprawled out city that feels small, but if you are like me and love boutique shopping, outdoor cafe's, micro breweries, muscians on the streets, horse and carriage rides through the city, plays, live music and the best Zoo ever, you would love Omaha. Particularly the </span><a href="http://www.oldmarket.com/"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Old Market District</span></a><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> which is where I shot this super fun session. So fun I had to repost it! Also, this session was featured on the awesome </span><a href="http://anorthwoodswedding.com/"><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">A Northwoods Wedding</span></a><span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"> blog last year. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">Mel & Ty are so carefree and adorable, this session was just for fun, not engagements or anniversary just a session for fun which is exactly what it was! We met at a little downtown bar, had a Boulevard Beer and off we went with no plan and no reason.</span>

Makes me think of who I've become over the last 10 years and how much I like her. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">When I was in my 20's I was such a brat, I didn't want kids (I knew it all didn't I? bahah) I barely wanted a steady boyfriend. I had a good job and my own house and my friends and I went on all sorts of trips and adventures, but I was not happy. But still,I needed those days of my life, like the old saying everyone you meet teaches you a lesson, that part of my life was a lesson. To prepare me for when my life really began. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">I've traded in a social life, Vegas vacations and a cool car for diapers, sleepless nights and Buzz and Woody but I would never go back, I would trade nothing, not even to be 20 something again. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New", Courier, monospace;">My 30's have been by the farthest margin the happiest years of my life. I wish I could tell my 20 something year old self how dead wrong about life she was maybe the good stuff would have started sooner ;)</span><br />
