Charlotte and Mark's Wedding

Charlotte and Mark's wedding took place at CD & ME, a venue on the outskirts of the Chicago area. This is the second time we shot a wedding at this location, so it was really nice to know what to expect at the venue. I think they set the record with the largest wedding party (that we've ever shot) with 9 bridesmaids and 9 groomsmen, plus the bride and groom, so 20 total in the whole party! They were a fun crew.

Charlotte was a natural in front of the camera - I'm pretty sure we didn't have to tell her how to pose at all throughout the day! (She made our job easy.) And Mark (and his entire family, for that matter) are all really talented musicians who provided some pretty top-notch entertainment throughout the entire day.

Congratulations guys! I hope you enjoy the photos.

Kara and Paul's Engagement Session

Usually, I don't shoot an engagement session so near to the wedding date, but Kara and Paul recently upgraded from Package #2 to Package #3, so we wanted to be sure to get a session in before their wedding! And it's always great for me to be able to meet the couple prior to the actual wedding day.

We met up in Madison at the beautiful Allen Centennial Gardens on the UW-Madison Campus. The sun was shining exceptionally bright that day, so we tried to stay in shady spots as much as possible to stay cool, but we also wanted to make the most of what the gardens has to offer.

Thank you guys for a great session - I'll see you in a couple weeks!
