Maria & David

    It is always a gamble to plan a wedding on Memorial weekend in Wisconsin, it could be 50 degrees and rainy or, if you are lucky, 85 and sunny- for these two the sun was shinning. Maria and David, where to begin, the first word that comes to my mind when I think of this day, would have to be laughter - wow, I might have to count how many images I took of these two laughing. The joy that these two have is both beautiful and contagious, it seriously brought me to tears, (now to be fair, I think I might cry at every wedding I photograph).


      I always love it when the couple decides to see each other before the ceremony, I think it brings a sense of calm to the rest of the day, being able to actually spend time together, and see each other before anyone else does. So a few hours before the ceremony David stood with his back to the walk way and the beautiful Maria came to greet him (this part always gets me choked up), to talk about the day and how lovely they both look. We took our time taking photographs and had fun exploring the Gardens.

      Congrats you two! and thank you for letting me be a part of your day, thank you for making me stop to put on sunscreen, drink water and when I felt faint, going and getting me a banana - you two are truly wonderful.

Vintage Look.

           I try to work with creative people as often as I can, it helps with my work and I believe it is so important to keep photography my passion and not just how I get a paycheck. So this last Sunday I got together with Monica, who is an artist in many ways but on this day she helped with hair and makeup -Sarah, who went to school for photography and was a wonderful person to have as a cheerleader of sorts at the shoot - Phoebe, who might have the best closet of clothing ever and who is amazing at dressing people and is one of the buyers for Good Style Vintage Shop found on East Washington Ave - Claire, who is also a stylist and buyer of The Good Style Shot and we can't forget to mention the beautiful (and also very gifted photographer) Lindsey - who was so great to work with and photograph!

If you like what you see, share it on your Pintrest, it would be greatly appreciated! 

Erin and Jason

This photo shoot was so much fun that I just couldn't wait to go through the images (I love my job). So I went through to star the 10 to put on this blog, and I ended up starring 53 images....These two were just so wonderful to capture - so natural, so much love and humor! Their wedding is this coming July, and I get to photograph it, and after today? I really am excited to see these two share vows and get hitched in their fanciest of clothing... Congrats to Erin and Jason, enjoy a sneak peak of your images...

Carnival Adventures.

      Meet Katie and Maia- you have probably seen them before in my work since they have been my roommates for the last 3 years. Sadly this will be my last summer living with them, since my business has been growing I need a bit more space than I have at this flat. Even though it is sad to leave this home and to not have these two as my roommates, I will only be moving 3 blocks away and will most likely come over for morning coffee a few times a week (hope that is okay!). One of the perks of living with a cute couple as a photographer is I always have subjects, and a perk for living with a photographer is your life will most likely be documented - last night we went to the carnival, and they so kindly allowed me to take their photograph. Enjoy!
