Wedding Wednesday | Lake Mendota, Madison WI

Not even rain can dampen wedding photography! Luckily, it rarely ever rains for the entire day, so we still can find spots of time for outdoor photographs. And the results are often striking.

Jill & Mark | Wisconsin Wedding: The Kohl Center & UW Badgers

Jill and Mark are big UW Badgers fans. And since Jill works for UW Athletics, they were able to incorporate the Badgers into their wedding big-time! 

Jill and Mark were married last spring at Union South on the University of Madison campus. Since they had an April wedding, the Kohl Center, where the Badgers play basketball worked better than the football field at Camp Randall for photographs. The whole wedding party had fun out on the court. 

The fire alarm only caused a slight delay, and otherwise, the day went off without a hitch. Both the UW Marching Band and Bucky himself made appearances at the reception. While they hadn't planned to celebrate their wedding during a March Madness Final Four game, they made sure to have TVs in the room for guests to cheer on their favorite team. The Badgers didn't win that night, but Jill and Mark had a wedding they will never forget.

Design & Printing Services: Custom graduation announcements are easier than you think!

Spring is just now finally here and already we are thinking of high school graduations. Where did the year go?

Do you have your open house or party planned? Now is the time to finalize those graduation parties for your 2015 senior.

Luckily, you still have time to get custom cards and postcards to announce your open house or party.

Even if we did not photograph your senior, we are still happy to create your cards. We can help you if:
   --you have a usage or copyright release for professional photographs
   --you have images you took yourself (kindergarten photos are always fun to use!)
   --you prefer no images and would like a nicely designed layout

Emma & Sam | Wedding

More images from Emma & Sam's wedding, which took place in Madison, Wisconsin last summer.

The locations we used were perfect, especially Allen Centennial Garden with all the summer flowers in bloom.

Snow Day Portraits!

It seems like I'm always a little behind.

This year, I'm really behind.

I do a portrait session for the kids every year around their birthdays, and I'm usually pretty good about staying on top of it, even with four kids. But, this year, time keeps running along and I chase it. I still need to do both the boys' sessions from their birthdays in November and December, and now March has slipped away without getting Lydia's session done.

The one request Lydia had was to have a few photographs done in the snow. Luckily, we had a beautiful snow storm roll through in February. So, while it was still snowing and they were advising everyone to stay home and off the roads, we tromped out into the snow for a few quick shots. I decided to take full advantage of it and made all the kids join in. We even had friends visiting that I made come outside for the session.

Lydia was happy with her photographs, but she asked that the rest of her session be done either inside or when it was warmer outside. I quickly agreed. I swear I'll be caught up soon.

Emma & Sam | Wedding Album

Emma and Sam were married last summer in Madison. They were such a sweet couple. Emma carried herself in such a dignified way that she had this royal, elegant air about her. She really seemed like a princess on her wedding day. Their families were so nice and loving, it was wonderful to see them celebrate Emma and Sam's marriage. And the Greek dancing was entertaining and exciting to watch.

Emma and Sam's wedding album was finished up this week. I love wedding albums because they are a wonderful way to share your favorite images from the day, while telling the story of the wedding.

Emma sent me this note:
"Hi Becky,
We got the album today and it is BEAUTIFUL!!! We are so so happy!! We cannot wait to show it to everyone :).
Thank you so much for everything! You guys did such an amazing job and we are so happy to have these wonderful pictures to remember our wedding by!!
Thank you!!
Emma & Sam"

I'm thrilled to know they will enjoy reliving and sharing their wedding memories!
