Mr. & Mrs. Hromadka

How do I start to describe a day with clients as fun as Dusty and Ali? I guess the beginning would be a good place!

From the first time I met Dusty & Ali in Barnes and Noble we hit it off. I think we were there for almost 2 hours talking about everything under the sun. I would say I think of all of my clients as friends, but there are some couples that you just naturally click with and a beautiful friendship develops. And this is exactly what happened with Dusty and Ali. This is why being a wedding photographer is amazing; attending weddings of clients become friends, and getting to capture every moment of it.

July 3rd was a hot day. Like, I just stepped outside and now I need to take a shower kind of day. But these two handled it with great poise, even through all of the droplets of sweat!

I met Ali while she was getting ready with her bridesmaids, and fell in love with her dress - isn't it so fun?!

I love "getting ready" time. There is so much excitement, nerves, and anticipation in the air...

Brian went over to find the guys... and you know it's going to be a good time with them when you find these directions out!

Dusty and Ali met while working together. They used to throw post-it notes back and forth to each other, here is Dusty writing his wedding day post-it note to Ali :)

Here comes the Bride!

The new Mr. & Mrs. Hromadka!

After their beautiful ceremony we headed to downtown Darlington to the courthouse (fun fact, this courthouse and downtown Darlington were used in the movie Public Enemies, cool beans), to have some fun with the wedding party. By this time everyone was HOT and we were running a little bit behind - but these guys rocked it!

This is what you call a "Dusty Sandwich"

We then stole Dusty & Ali for some photos of just the two of them

Dusty and Ali. Thank you for inviting us to share in your wedding day. It has been a pleasure getting to know the two of you and walk with you this past year as you become husband and wife :) Cheers!

Handschke Family

From the moment I saw this family dressed in these fabulously bright and fun colors, I knew it was going to be a great session! The Handschke Family was referred to me by my dear friend and client Sarah Kooiman (check out her blog!). We held our session at the Memorial Union Terrace downtown Madison in the beautiful setting sun. Check out a few of my favorites!

Seriously, that little pink hat is too cute!

Love these two, they just say "summer" don't they?

It took a little running around and a magical Dora microphone but we got little sister to smile!

Mom brought along lots of cute outfits, including these little shirts!

How can you not giggle when you look at this one?

To the Handschke Family, thank you so much for a great session, and a special thanks to Grandma and her special gum for keeping everyone entertained! :)

Kaebisch Family

I met the Kaebisch Family on a beautiful Sunday afternoon at Oschner Park in Baraboo. This is the second time I've had the opportunity to photograph this family, and it is always a pleasure to see clients again. I couldn't believe how much their little boy had grown since the last time I saw him!

We started our session down by the River Walk, and this beautiful old bridge.

Aren't these two just adorable!

Ok, get ready for it, these two are going to melt your heart!

Wait for it....

See, I told you!

More adorable ahead...

How sweet!

We then spent a little time playing at the park. This is my favorite time of a family session - capturing everyone having fun with one another. I think these photos will be even more precious in a few years...

Help me rhonda. He is just too cute!

:)

Thanks guys for a great afternoon and your flexibility! I look forward to seeing you again!
