I cannot say enough about how gorgeous Michelle and Patrick’s wedding was! We met Michelle at her parents' home in Green Bay where she was about to get dressed in the most stunning gown with the best bunch of bridesmaids swarming around to help, teasing her to lighten the mood, and serving up a little bubbly to celebrate. Michelle wore her grandmother’s ring and vintage earrings to compliment it.
With Michelle done up and ceremony-ready we drove to a local park to meet Patrick for the first look. Here we got to see the most humbling expression on his face when he saw his bride-to-be - beyond priceless. Everything about Michelle and Patrick’s day had this genuine and free-spirited feeling to it; there was nothing but joy expressed from every guest and every family member (including the sweetest daddy ever, waiting to walk his baby girl down the isle).
As the ceremony ended, we did a few photos at Heritage Hill, before heading over to Green Bay’s main attraction for some fun photos showing how excited everyone was to be celebrating with the newly married couple. It was a pleasure being a part of your day; congratulations and a toast to many years, Michelle and Patrick!

Jonathon Turns 18 Months !
Jonathon has always been playful and outgoing; we knew this about him at six months and he has proven it to us at every session since then. This was his first outdoor photo session and it fit his personality so well - gave him a chance to run around, play with mommy, and give us those trademark sneaky smiles. We love photos that are a mix of lifestyle and posed, and give us a chance to set up for some impromptu moments and expressions. This was the perfect opportunity! Seeing Jonathon is always wonderful and we can’t wait to find out what he has in store for us next. Congratulations, Jonathon; you are getting to be such a big little man!

Lindsey’s Senior Portraits!
We love getting to see all the cool outfits our seniors come up with for the day of their session. Lindsey’s blue, lace dress was my absolute favorite and her prom dress was so fun - a vivid pink with many layers of ruffled organza! We had perfect weather and golden light for Lindsey’s session and had the opportunity to shoot at two very different locations to create a variety of images. Lindsey was very fun to work with - relaxed in front of the camera - and we got to hear all about last year’s prom and this year’s homecoming plans. She sounds like she has a great senior year ahead of her and lots of good times planned along the way. Congratulations, Lindsey, and good luck in the future!

{ Rachel + Ken = MARRIED ! }
Rachel and Ken’s wedding was beyond amazing. I found myself talking about it with other clients, friends and family for weeks afterward which tells you that it was our very favorite kind - simple, playful, intimate and elegant. The ceremony took place at the Gates of Heaven in James Madison Park - a beautiful little venue. The officiant spoke about marriage in a way I have never heard someone speak before - he said that every day since the day this couple met they have made little promises to stand by one another, to be there when they are needed, and to love one another. Those little promises, the officiant stated, were the vows of their marriage, and that day was just an official stamp to celebrate all they had promised one another.
The couple had just two people in their wedding party and the six of us plus the immediate family headed up the road to a little community garden to take some formal photos and enjoy the beautiful weather. The mood was relaxed and joyous - so much laughter. The reception was picnic-themed with luxurious blankets and pillows, long tables covered in white linen, burlap and tiny vases filled with locally-grown flowers. The food was delicious comfort food - perfect for a picnic: macaroni and cheese, chicken, cheese curds, baby red potato salad and Door County cherry pie. Every part of the day felt natural and every person there seemed so incredibly happy to be able to celebrate with the new Mr. and Mrs. Rachel and Ken Geller. Congratulations; and cheers to many happy years together!
