Gardens Uncanoonuc Mountain Wedding | New Hampshire Photos
Stone steps, jewel-toned florals, and a woodland clearing that took our breath away. This Gardens at Uncanoonuc Mountain wedding had us chasing light through layered gardens all day, then dancing under string lights until dark. The kind of venue where every turn reveals something worth shooting.
Quiet Moments, Beautiful Light | Garver Baby Girl Portraits
This January morning at our Garver Feed Mill studio, soft light and a peacefully sleeping baby girl created the perfect calm for capturing those impossibly tiny details. We pulled in close for fingers, profiles, and the way lace caught the light. These are the moments parents forget fastest, so we made sure to get them all.
Vernon Vineyards Wedding Photography | Viroqua, WI
Rolling hills, vineyard rows, and a hilltop ceremony site that feels pulled from another country. Britta and Curtis brought everything to their June celebration at Vernon Vineyards, and the quiet moments between them, golden light catching her lace gown among the vines, delivered some of our favorite portraits all season.
Soft, Serene, and So Sweet | Winter Newborn Session
This winter newborn session at our Garver Feed Mill studio was everything we love about those quiet, tender first days. Soft wraps, muted tones, and one perfectly peaceful baby who let us capture the fleeting details you'll want to remember forever.
Wisconsin Riverside Resort Wedding | Spring Green Photos
Watching Ben reach for Chelsey's face as the Wisconsin River glowed behind them, we knew we'd captured something rare. This Spring Green wedding moved from a marble-columned church ceremony to golden hour on the riverbank, where the light lasted just long enough for magic.
“It Tells Our Story” | Madison October Sunset Family Session
This Madison family came back to one image again and again: all five of them glowing in October's golden light, just being together. When we saw their words, "it tells our story", we knew we'd captured something that goes beyond a portrait.
Monona Terrace Wedding Photographer | Downtown Madison, WI
Their golden retriever stole the show at this Monona Terrace lakeside wedding, but it was the quiet moments that truly captured our hearts. Between the dog's triumphant aisle walk and golden hour portraits glowing against Lake Monona, we found ourselves documenting genuine, unscripted love at every turn.
Harvest Moon Pond Wedding | Madison Area Photography
This Poynette venue completely stopped us in our tracks, tall grass catching light, a glassy pond reflecting sky, and a weathered barn that practically begged for burgundy bouquets.
“Snowball Is the Star” | Madison Family Session with Pet
Snowball the bunny stole the show at this Madison family session, and honestly, we wouldn't have it any other way. There's something special about capturing every family member, whiskers and all, in one frame that actually feels like home.
