Married: Levi & Juliana

What an exquisite day! Juliana's princess-perfect vision came to life with soft textures and tropical accents. The cake was delicious and the florals accented their theme beautifully. Their colors were simple and elegant, with just the right amount of sparkle! They wrote their own tear-filled vows and danced to their favorite songs long into the night. And above all, their love shone through and unified their family and friends in joyful celebration! I was so glad to be present for their big day and look forward to following their adventures now as husband and wife!

Married: Joseph & Shauna

This day was perfection from beginning to end! The blush and gold colors, the feminine lace and pearl accents, the sweet family and friends supporting Joseph and Shauna's love story, the unbridled tears and epic dance party, and of course the genuine romance and affection between the bride and groom. It was a celebration to be remembered, and I am ecstatic that I was the one invited to preserve those memories!

Best wishes, Joseph and Shauna! You have many beautiful years ahead of you!!

Engaged: John & Sydney

I love any couple who is up for new adventures! These two met me at the UW Waterfront Activities Center for an exciting evening of canoeing, pizza and a leisurely stroll in the evening sunshine.

It was so fun watching John and Sydney navigate the balance and momentum of the canoe - a task all engaged couples should achieve before tying the knot! We also may have bent the rules a little and removed their life jackets for a portion of the boating excursion, since they aren't exactly the most fashionable accessory!

They also brought along a vegan pizza to share while drifting among the lily pads, which made for a fun set of photos, and we were all quite pleased with the amount of flavor a vegan pizza could hold!

We finished off our evening in a more relaxed setting - walking around the water's edge in the warm evening air. John and Sydney are so comfortable with one another and share such a genuine sweetness that I know they will make an amazing married team. It is so special to me to capture love like this!
