The Barn at Harvest Moon Pond Wedding | Rachel and Jared | Poynette WI Wedding Photographer

Rachel was referred to me by my March bride, Ashley.  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, I could never get enough of The Barn at Harvest Moon Pond. 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!


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.

Wisconsin Wedding Photographer | One Frame Friday | Reflecting

May, 2014 already!

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.

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.

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.
