Sneak Peek: Lakefront Proposal

Location: Art Museum Milwaukee, WI

Landon planned an anniversary dinner for 3 years of dating at the Harbor House (near the art museum in downtown Milwaukee). Before dinner, he impromptu popped the question to ask Becca to marry him.

This was my first time going into full ‘stealth mode’ to hide for a live engagement photo sesion.

We walked around Harbor House and did a fun mini engagement shoot immediately following her Y-E-S!

They are the absolutely the sweetest couple inside and out. Stay tuned for more…

All the pretty details . . .

One of the most exciting things to me is snail mail. (Just an old soul here!!) Honestly, I think this obsession started as a child--when I would 'pen pal' relatives and friends alike...now one of my favorite things to receive is a future bride's details. 

When I received Kat and Nate's invite I was beyond excited to photograph all the details. They used a photo from their engagement photos for the return sticker. (Counting down the days until these two tie the knot in May!) 

Here's a few pictures from their engagement shoot and the photos of their invitation! 

Happy Sunday!

Sneak Peek: Engagement Session [Kat + Nate]

Location: Frame Park Waukesha, WI

Cheers to the first few weeks into this new year! Honestly, it's wonderful to be editing under warm blankets, by the fire with candlelight. Earlier today I met up with Kat and Nate in Frame Park to photograph their engagement session. 

This wintery session was every bit as adorable (as you will see in the sneak peek below...) but man was it COLD, too!) We tied a Target dollar section sign to a park bench, wrapped Kat in a blanket several times, and she even trusted me to draw on her cowgirl boots! We had a blast bringing all her cute ideas for this session to life. (I'm seriously counting down the days until these two tie the knot!) 

These winter sessions are always fun; and you can read a few of my tips, in an earlier post on winter engagement shoots.

Here's to all the warmth of love this year! 

To be continued . . .

These two are the epitome of soul mates. 

From the adorable jokes to the undeniable chemistry, Mandi and Nick's engagement session was effortlessly romantic. We also had the joy of beginning to document their baby-to-be coming this December. See the preview of the session here!
