Welcome!
I’m glad you have stopped by. I believe photography has the ability to bring people together – to experience something new or to relive moments all over again. I hope my photographs might bring us together to document a part of your life; that you might be able to live in those moments for years to come. This site is a running blog with the newest work below. Feel free to browse around and then use the contact form to drop me a line.
Wedding Photography
I love weddings. It might sound trite but trust me when I say I wouldn’t do them if I didn’t enjoy the day. You can find some of my most recent work in the posts below. You can find some featured weddings and info about the benefits of engagement photography in the weddings link above.
Portrait Photography
Info on and examples of my portrait photography can be found in the portraits link above. I don’t always blog portrait sessions, so the link above is a good place to start for a little taste of my work.

kate+david’s oconomowoc lake wedding

Kate+David tied the knot at the family lakehouse that has been in the family for over 100 years. It’s hosted many weddings (I think Kate+David made 8) and yet I felt special because it will be the last in their family, as they sold the house and it will be changing hands this fall. Pardon my nostalgia for the first bunch of photos – it is such a beautiful house with so many memories of family, gatherings and love. The large black and white photo (5th down) was taken on the property in 1924. Amazing.
The day was wonderful and Kate+David really shined – staying calm in the heat and just plain having fun all day long. They are so much fun to be around because they are just two people very comfortable in their own skin – they know who they are individually and together and it’s a blast watching them interact. And their friends are just good humored and lovely people and I’m honored to have spent the day hanging out with them.
Some vendor notes: The day ran smoothly because of Jamie from Details Planning. This was my second time working with Details and I would recommend them to anyone planning a wedding! The Oconomowoc Lake Club was a wonderful venue and their staff was so helpful in taking care of all the guests. Michael and Dennise, the husband and wife team at Advanced Entertainment DJ did a great job keeping the party going. The lights (and I’m a big fan of uplighting!) was handled by Nate from Dream Lighting Company. They had a great photobooth setup by The ShutterBooth Experience. And last, but not least, Peter D’Amore handled the ceremony music. He’s an amazing musician and a humble guy.
Kate+David: May your dancing never end and your life together be beautiful and long-lived. And may Umphrey’s Mcgee always be playing on a radio somewhere near you!
rachel+steve’s lapham peak engagement session

Rachel+Steve are a busy couple. Between work, moves and trips around the globe, I was just happy to get these to together before their wedding (in less than a month!) We had an enjoyable time at Lapham Peak, near Delafield. The weather is cooling off a bit, which makes for a much more enjoyable session for everyone. Both of these guys were good sports with all that I asked of them. I’m looking forward to their wedding day now!
