Much love and congratulations to our friends Jordan and Joe! Steve and I met Jordan through her talented brother Jeff – our friend and branding/website designer. From the first email I received from Jordan regarding her wedding, I felt like I was corresponding with an old friend. After first working with Jordan on one of my private sessions, we shared a glass of wine and chatted. That of course turned into a bottle of wine and some good ol’ girl talk. Since then, we became fast friends. Because of our friendship, Steven and I have been joyously and eagerly anticipating shooting their wedding. Held on the beautiful grounds of the River Club of Mequon their day was an event to behold. A beautiful cloud cover sauntered in to provide relief from the afternoon sun just as guests sat for the outdoor ceremony. We loved the details and personal touches Jordan and Joe used throughout their day. From the beautiful monogrammed robes Jordan gifted to all of her bridesmaids, to Joe’s bicycle gear cufflinks (an homage to his engineering beginnings), to the homemade barbeque rub they made for each guest; no stone was left unturned. After strolling the golf course with the newlyweds for some incredible pics, the evening’s celebration began. Emily, Jordan’s Maid of Honor, put together an incredible slideshow for the couple. It was a fantastic mix of images giving everyone in attendance an idea of who Jordan and Joe where then, now, and what their future holds for their lives lived as one. Jordan also received one of the sweetest and heartwarming things I have ever had the privilege of seeing and experiencing. Before she passed, Jordan’s grandmother wrote her a special note just for her to open on her wedding day. The love and thoughtfulness of such a gesture is amazing. Grandmothers are the best. We loved capturing this fantastic event for such an amazing couple from two great families. Our best wishes. Love and Congrats – Sarah (& Steve;)

On 
It all began on the fateful day when Catherine needed a ride to see a local band her friends knew of. Lo and behold through several channels of communication the band’s guitarist, Nick, agreed to pick her up in the band’s van. After offering Catherine some of his extra Little Cesar’s pizza their love story began. On August 16th they wrote their latest chapter when they tied the knot in a beautiful outdoor ceremony in Cedarburg’s historic Covered Bridge Park. While the ladies busied themselves with their preparations the gentlemen readied the ceremony site. All of elements incorporated made their day extremely unique. The ring box was handmade by none other than the couple themselves. And though Catherine’s father could only be there in spirit, his best friend Tom had the honor of escorting and handing off his daughter to Nick. Catherine’s bouquet, always kept close to her heart, held a photo of her father keeping his presence and memory near. After a wonderful afternoon in the late summer heat guests retired to a lively reception filled with merriment, love, and fellowship. To number their tables, Catherine and Nick used small notebooks guests were encouraged to fill out with well wishes, advice, and general words of love. The dance floor pulsated with the rhythm of the music while people showed off their silly side at one of the most prop-filled photo booths we’ve had the pleasure of coming across. We were extremely honored to capture this special event in Catherine and Nick’s lives and wish them all the best in the years to come.

Garden Tea Party
My little sister Lizzie is getting married!!! I’m so excited to showcase the love that was shared at her bridal shower. I spent many late nights working on all of the fixings to make her bridal shower extra special. I started off by creating the invites from a template I found on Pinterest. Since we were in the midst of our move, I needed to find a place to host the event. I knew I wanted it to be an afternoon garden party and that the perfect backdrop would be my Mom’s back yard. The invites included a recipe card for Elizabeth’s kitchen library. Everyone offered their ‘KEYS’ to happiness and it was fun to hear Elizabeth read all of them. My favorite part was when I surprised the bride with a little note from her groom that I had secretly asked him to email me. Since Nick is a Green Beret currently deployed in Africa, getting a special note made Lizzie’s day. The games, tea, and treats went over well and the ladies were all delightful. There was one guy at the shower. A guy that I couldn’t have pulled this off without, my hubby/servant boy. He was buzzing around the entire day helping with whatever needed to be done. Including offering his own little ‘key’ to happiness – NEVERMIND! (had to be there:) Steven, I am so thankful that you took the time to help me with this shower. You are a wonderful man and I’m proud to call you my husband. I would also like to thank Nicholas for taking the time to write such a sweet note for my sister. Many, many thanks go to my Mother for allowing me to host the shower at her house and for bringing along several little touches to make things perfect –> like flying Elizabeth’s future Mother In Law, Susan, up for the shower!!! Thanks Mom 😉 Thanks also to Lizzie’s bridesmaid, Courtney, for being part of the clean up crew and the many others who also assisted. To all of Lizzie’s family and friends that attended, thank you for making her feel so loved. Finally, I would like to say thank you to my sister… Lizzie, I am so thankful you chose me as your maid of honor. I love you and cannot wait to watch you say ‘I DO’.
