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.

Read MoreSweet smiles, joyful reactions, and heartfelt tears punctuated this gorgeous Wisconsin wedding in May. Jon and Amy were supported by so many friends and family members as they celebrated their day of marriage. There was meaning laced through everything—the pearls, the perfume, the cards to one another, and more. Even Father Tony surprised everyone during his homily when he shared the cutest quotes and advice for Jon & Amy in marriage from Amy's young classroom of students. SO special!
Other highlights included their Green Bay Packers wedding cake (made by Amy's Aunt Annie) that was retweeted by ESPN analyst Darren Rovell (@darrenrovell), the mother-son dance at the reception where Jon and his Mom surprised everyone with a dance remix and the moment the ring bearer crowd surfed. Chad and I were truly honored to capture the first chapter of Jon & Amy's married love story.
Just over a week ago, we got to share ALL of their wedding photos with them before they went on their honeymoon. As a couple, they've been soaking in them and reliving the moments. Now, the photos have been released to the public! I am SO excited to share these highlights from their beautiful Catholic ceremony at St. Anthony on the Lake in Pewaukee, WI and their reception that followed at the Seven Seas Seafood & Steaks in Hartland, WI.

Read MoreFrom Wisconsin, this Chicago-loving couple picked us up, surprised us with a packed picnic lunch, cold water, and even a collapsible picnic table. It was a beautiful day in Chicago for a picnic in the park, followed by one of our most memorable Engagement Sessions to date and a tour of their favorite spots in Chicago!
The Lincoln Zoo in Chicago was the perfect setting for this Session, not only because it was gorgeous, but because it was the very memorable location for their second date! As you check out these image highlights, I hope you fall in love with Zac & Rachel's story as a couple…
Read MoreBack in April, a friend of mine sent me a Facebook message wondering if I would be interested in purchasing some Cubs/Cardinals tickets from her. I couldn't type fast enough to say yes to the idea. As a MASSIVE Cardinals fan, I couldn't pass up an ESPN Baseball Tonight game, while the Cubs are celebrating 100 years at Wrigley Field. The stars were aligned that glorious day.

Read MoreNick and Angela have one of the most adorable relationship stories. It is one of laughter, long walks together and carnival rides, but they admit they have definitely put in a fair amount of work to make it the long lasting relationship it is today. Chad and I enjoyed getting to know these two as we did their Engagement Session this past winter. (Plus, you'd never guess how C-O-L-D it was during this shoot...they were such troopers!) We think their images turned out to be beautiful.
As you read their story, I hope you enjoy these Session highlights...
