romantic destination & wisconsin wedding photographer

for couples

who value experiences with their most important people

Most couples worry that they'll feel awkward in their wedding photographs. I say, let's make some magic! I pride myself on knowing when to step in with direction, and when to step out to let you be yourself.
So be present. Laugh too hard. Hold each other too long.
I'll be there to document every second - and to create the dynamic, playful, emotive photographs you've been dreaming of.

I'll send over a questionnaire about 6 weeks before the wedding to get specifics. By the wedding day, I'll know every single detail, moment, and wedding VIP that's important to you - you don't have to even think about photos on your day.  Just get married and make some memories!

our motto

work hard

love well

stay flexible

Your wedding day goes lightning fast. You'll arrive at the end of the day with sore cheeks, mascara a little worse for wear, and feeling even closer to your most important humans. I'll be in the background for a lot of the day, but dang - we're going to have some fun during posed portraits, too!

If I could bottle the emotions from a wedding day, I'd be a millionaire. But your images - especially the physical images - are about the closest you can get!  From your digital gallery to wall art to a storytelling heirloom album, your photographs were made to be seen.

your nerdy wisconsin wedding photographer

Depending on the day, you might find me on a mountain top, geeking out about the latest science news, 100 feet deep in the ocean, or rocking out to show tunes with my kiddos.

But some of my favorite days are spent living it up as a wedding photographer in Wisconsin - and beyond - and keep you feeling all the feels every time you see your photos hanging on the wall.
