Kelly + Josh: Urban Ecology Center and Lake Front Brewery, Milwaukee Engagement

We woke up for the sun, and met at Urban Ecology Center for a frost covered sunrise engagement session. These two brought their bike along, and pieces of who they are for their session.

Carmen + Josh: Brooklyn NY Engagement

We met at their favorite Brooklyn park, headed to the Brooklyn Botanical gardens, and made some stops in between - including at a farmers market by Prospect Park. Such a fun afternoon frolicking in Brooklyn NY with these two.

100 Years of Holt: Silver Lake, Michigan Family Reunion

Took the ferry across Lake Michigan from Milwaukee to photograph an incredible celebration! The Holt family has gathered at Silver Lake, Michigan for 100 years, and continues to celebrate the generations. There was BBQ, dancing, singing, playing in the lake, and overall celebrations.

St. John's Military Academy Wedding - Milwaukee Lake Front

They married at St. John’s Military Academy Chapel, headed to 7 Bridges Park for photos at Lake Michigan, and wrapped up with a tent party on the Milwaukee River - amazing day!

Courtney + Bill : Historic Third Ward + Milwaukee Lake Front Engagement

We for sure got our steps in for Courtney + Bills engagement session. Starting in the 3rd Ward, we headed down the river walk. Found ourselves having fun as we passed the Sail Loft and headed towards Summer Fest grounds.

Kristen + Jon - Upper East Side NYC Engagement

A perfect NYC engagement on the Upper East Side, where these two call home. Relaxed and cuddled along the East River before hitting the city streets.

Victoria + Jason: Boulder, Colorado Engagement

Headed out to Boulder Colorado to join one of my best friends, celebrating her engagement. We climbed mountains, hung out with the flat irons, visited where Jason proposed, and explored Downtown Boulder and Pearl Street.

Evan + Kyle: Central Park Engagement NYC

Get ready to fall in love with these two! Kyle was visiting from London, so we scheduled their engagement session in one of their favorite NYC spots, Central Park. Love this rainy day engagement session.
