Mark + Raquel | A black & gold, elegant Wisconsin wedding

The love story of this special couple was reflected so well in the sweet vows they wrote each other on their wedding day. Everything about Mark and Raquel’s marriage ceremony was beautiful. In fact, Raquel wasn’t the only one in the room with a continuous stream of joyful tears down her cheeks. It was the kind of ceremony that reminded you of the power of love (cue Huey Lewis here if you feel so inclined). There is no doubt in our minds that these two will fight for their love every day of their lives and will enjoy each moment they have together.

We are beyond excited to share the story and beautiful images from this wedding...

Randy + Amanda | An enthusiastic WI wedding celebration

Two things were absolutely certain about this wedding celebration: Randy and Manda are completely in love and they are both incredibly loved by many. There was joyful laughter, there were happy tears, lots of pink, a surprise second wedding dress, and plenty of dancing. The bridal party was a very tight-knit group of friends, which only added to the crazy fun. Plus these families know how to celebrate!

I hope you enjoy their wedding story and image highlights...

Kaci | Horlick High School Senior '15

Helloooooo, Kaci! This gorgeous young lady is heading into her senior year at Horlick High School (Racine, WI). She's got pretty much everything going for her: a stunning smile (obviously), athletic talent, smarts, stamps in her passport, a sweet personality, involvement at school, and dedication to her family. We absolutely loved getting to know Kaci during this Senior Session in Racine!

"I Think I Wanna Marry You" | A surprise Kenosha Engagement

It was Thanksgiving and the garage was full of their friends and family, who were all enjoying the Packers game on the big screen. Much to Manda's surprise, Randy had arranged for everyone to be in on a little something extra-special, too.

Brooke | Case High School Senior '14

Talk about a go-getter! This is Brooke—she's a senior at Case High School (Racine, WI) and it was our honor to do her Senior Session this past September. She's such a sweetheart! How can you not smile when you hear her giggle or talk about her love for people & plans she has for her future??

Brooke is counting the days until she heads out to Minnesota State University in the fall, but until then, she's just looking forward to the completion of all of her IB testing! Back in October, Brooke said May 16th couldn't come soon enough... "It will be all hard work until then!" SO CLOSE, Brooke! Keep it up!

Brooke's full Senior Session can be viewed in her online gallery. I hope you enjoy these photo highlights as you read her story...

Racine Senior Portraits | Connor

We've known Connor and his family for quite some time. He's currently finishing up his senior year at Case High School (Racine, WI) and is one of the smartest people I've met. He's got a knack for computer technology and programming—can't wait to hear about all he accomplishes in the future! Although he's quiet when you first meet him, my favorite thing about Connor is when his quick witted sense of humor comes out. We had a great time together at his session last September. In my opinion, he rocked these shots!

I hope you enjoy these photo highlights from his senior session...

Garrett + Katie | Colorful Fall Wedding in Racine

In October, Garrett and Katie were united as one when they married at Mount Pleasant Lutheran Church. Affectionately called "the spaceship church" in our area (because of its shape & appearance), this round church was perfect for an intimate, personal wedding ceremony. I loved how you could see their friends and family surrounding them during the service. There were endless smiles all day, gorgeous fall colors, hand-made details (including Garrett's tiered cupcake tree—wow!), and plenty of dancing.

I hope you enjoy these beautiful highlights...
