Michele & Justin - Engaged!

I met Michele & Justin on a blustury fall day at Picnic Point. Luckily for us the rain held off despite it's threat of sprinkles and we had a great time walking around getting a few photos. Michele & Justin met while attending UW Madison, and are planning a August wedding next year - I can't wait!

Here are few of my favorites from the shoot. Friends and family, if you'd like to see more click here to sign the guest book and view the images!

Love this one! I especially like how the wind added a model effect to Michele's hair!

Michele's ring is GORGEOUS!

Thanks guys for a great afternoon!

Lisa & Adam are Engaged!

I met Lisa and Adam on a lovely fall afternoon in downtown Madison. Lisa and my husband were great friends through high school, so it was fun to meet up and get to know each other a little better. Adam and Lisa met with attending UW Madison, so we hit up all of the spots that were reminiscent for UW Alum.

Here are a few of my favorites! Being a UW Alum myself I had the hardest time choosing (anyone seeing a trend here?) so to see more of my favorites, check out Jenn Van Wyk Photography on Facebook.













My husband Brian came along as a second shooter and grabbed some great shots! This one is his -






Now Lisa and Adam met one winter day on campus. Lisa worked at the Red Gym and was interviewing Adam for a job. She said she was so disinterested that she didn't even take her mittens off to write notes down. And now, they're getting married! We had to get a few in front of Science Hall, the interview site. I love it when couples can integrate personal details into their shoots!




Love this one! We snuck underneath the pedestrian bridge on Park St.






Just a litte bench snugglin' on State Street




Thanks guys for a great afternoon! I hope you enjoy your photos! And.... on Wisconsin!

Brian & Ann Marie are Engaged!

I have known Brian and Ann Marie for about a half a year now. We are both are a part of the same Young Married/Engaged Couples Life Group through our church Blackhawk. We get together once a week, talk, eat, and just share life. This group has been a blessing in my life, and it has been great to get to know all of the couples! So, when Ann Marie asked me to do their engagement photos, I was ecstatic. I mean, come on, they look great to begin with, so I knew that we were going to get some awesome photos! They are having a summer destination wedding (ooo that sounds so nice right now - a warm sunny place!), and I know that these two are going to have a great life together, no matter what gets thrown their way. : )

Ok, on to the photos! We started out downtown in this AWESOME little alley. The alley also happens to be right behind Ann Marie's office, so she got a kick out of using it in her photos. But these old brick alley ways make the best spots for pictures!





I love how the wind added some extra glamour to this shot! I literally jumped up and down when I saw this one come off the camera! Everyone come see how good they look! (Sorry, I've had a lot of coffee this morning)


We then moved on to the capitol!





Although it was unseasonably warm, in the low 50's, it still was quite chilly in the shade - but these guys were troopers! Brian & Ann Marie decided to go warm up in the sun for a moment, and caught this photo.





Thanks guys for a great afternoon! I had a great time working with the two of you, and I hope you enjoy your photos!

Bunbury Portraits

When I'm not doing photography, I work for Bunbury & Associates Realtors in Madison. However, some days the two meet, and I get to have portrait day! I always love the opportunity to capture our agents personalities, and get to know them a little better. Plus, we even threw in a "Sold" sign for a little fun!

First up was Kay, she is a new agent in our Middleton Office and we're so glad to have her!

Next is Beth Goethel from our Baraboo Office, hopefully she'll be putting those Sold signs all over her lake properties soon!

Now there is a time and a place for the studio portrait, but I took a little break from the flash and opened up the windows and shot just with the available light. I love the results!

And last but not least, one of our newer agents Andy Symanski. Although new to our company, he is not new to the business, and he is a great addition !
