Amber & Matt

I was so glad to finally meet Amber and Matt for we have had to reschedule our shoot 3 times because we always managed to set a date to a rainy day. Even though we planned to do a fall session, having the snow on the ground and the chill in the air was quite beautiful - these two spend a lot of time outdoors, even in the winter so the 9 degree day we picked didn't bother them at all. I drove up and over to Shiocton, Wi to Matt's parents home where on June 7th, their ceremony will be held under a beautiful willow tree - we went into their woods to explore and do the session  -- here are just a few of my favorite images from that day.

Joleen & Brendan

A few weeks back I got together with Joleen and Brendan for a coffee to talk about their wedding coming up in July and get to know them a bit -- I learned that Brendan did the Peace Corps in El Salvador, they both attended Law School here in Madison and in just a few days they will be moving to D.C for work. Their wedding is going to be wonderful, a guest list of 70, outdoors at Olin park here in Madison followed by a fabulous meal and some dancing to end the night-- I can't wait. With the moving coming up so soon, we had to get together once again to do an engagement session - the day we picked was not the warmest winter day so our locations were limited to indoors (with maybe a 10 minutes session outdoors which I think we all hated). I met these two the day of our shoot at their cute apartment on Sherman Ave (available for sublease now until August if anyone is looking!) followed by a quick walked through Tenney and then to warm up at  Mickeys with a Hot Toddy -- here is the photo story of our adventure.
