Since it is a bit gloomy and rainy today, I thought I’d brighten up the day with a couple of shots from a recent family session that we did at Olbrich Gardens.
I found this today…
While we try to teach our children all about life,
Our children teach us what life is all about.

We are very much looking forward to a weekend of family time and learning from our children.
Beth and Brett first got our name from one of our favorite couples, Katie and Doug! We then met with them a second time when they came through a show put on by the Madison Wedding Guild. We knew from the start that they were going to be a super fun couple and have an amazing wedding. They were not short of laughter or tears through out the day.
Can’t you just feel the love?
And the party. Yes, the party. It raged on and on to music provided from Austin from Jukebox Bandstand.
And last but not least, some details from the day. I love the black, white and red combination!

The picture with Macy is so cute! A top notch job again Mike and Heather! Congrats B + B.
Lovely wedding! What a great idea to hit the Square with the bride & groom!
As always, AWESOME work! Cheers!
If there is one thing I know, its that life is filled with lots of twists and turns. Over a year ago, Anabel contacted us to photograph her wedding that she was planning to have on Lake Wisconsin. But, as I have said, life keeps us on our toes and before we knew it, we were asked if we would mind shooting her and David’s wedding in Boise, where they live. We love the chance to document a “destination” wedding. Not really a destination for Anabel and David, but one for us. The fun part for me was that I lived in Boise for a little bit as a kid and my Mom grew up there. We still have quite a bit of family there as well. It still blows my mind that the temps can be 85 and feel like 80 instead of like here with all of the humidity. But what we don’t have here is the intense sun.
When I arrived at Anabel + David’s home, this sweet note was sitting on their table. With love, it is really the small gestures, the little things. Their day was filled with many of these small gestures and wonderful moments of tenderness. We were so honored to bare witness to their love.
***Just for fun***
There was a Murphy bed outside. You could never have one of those out here. Too many mosquitos!

love the photos – beautiful work – that last one takes the cake!
Seriously?! I am DYING over here. LOVE the ceremony shots, the details, the dinner shots. Gorgeous light and compositions and everything. Thank you for raising the bar so high in Wisconsin and the Midwest. I continuously admire you.
I’ve been waiting so long for this post! When James contacted Mike about photographing him and his son, he also mentioned that he wanted to possibly include his girlfriend Tammy and her son in the shoot as well. Then he added, I will be proposing soon. Mike’s comment, “Why not photograph that too?!?!”
It is so amazing to be a part of such a momentous moment in peoples lives. I have to be honest in saying that the tears were flowing while I edited and worked on this session.

how very cool. way to capture this moment beautifully!
Beautiful! What a special moment to have images of!
… makes me tear up… how awesome is that… love it.
We got a call a while ago from James asking if Mike would be into photographing him and his son, Ben playing basketball and to get some cool edgy shots. James is Ben’s basketball coach as well as an avid player himself. Funny side note: James had forgotten the basketballs for the shoot and had to scramble to find a store on the way. Now is has two additional ones to go along with the 20+ that he already had in his garage. LOL!
There was an additional shoot after this with a surprise marriage proposal. I can’t wait to post those tomorrow!
