Angie and Jeremy tied the knot at Grand Geneva on may 14, 2011. It was unfortunately a cold and rainy kind of day but Grand Geneva is a wonderful venue for having an indoor wedding as an alternative to the outdoor. Angie had a very unique trellis set up which really dressed up the indoor wedding idea.
From the first look to the bride walking down the aisle know one can deny that Jeremy loves Angie with all his heart. I admire a guy who can express his emotions.

Angie Rue and Jeremy Whatley were married at the Grand Geneva in Lake Geneva, WI on May 14, 2011. What a wonderful day for love and relationships! Starting with the first look I was impressed with how much Jeremy loves Angie and of course vice versa. So many men struggle to show emotion but Jeremy was more than comfortable letting his emotions show for Angie.
The wedding party was fun and easy to work with. While it was a cold and wet day the bridal party took good care of Angie and her dress so she was able to walk down the isle with a spotless dress.

Samantha and Doug are a fun loving couple and Max and I were honored to be part of their big day. They chose a masquerade party approach with masks, feathers and an amazing dress! We started out at Samantha's mom's house in Lake Geneva for some getting ready photos. Then we went to Grand Geneva for the first look before having the ceremony at the Lake Geneva United Methodist Church. After shooting the ceremony we moved into an extended wedding party session and we started that at The Riviera. There were lots of other weddings in addition to the Lake Geneva Marathon and prom that day! But the hustle and bustle only added to the excitement and fun! After the Riv we went over to Yerkes Observatory to shoot some additional shots with the amazing architecture and bold beautiful skies we had on Saturday.
Finally we went to the reception at Hawk's View Golf Club. The food was amazing and the entertainment was provided by Midwest Sound. Samantha's over the top dress was designed by San Patrick.

Max Biedermann was the lead photographer for this wedding and in my humble opinion did a fantastic job. It was fun and challenging to serve as the second shooter/assistant for once.
Stacy & Jason won the, Say "I Do" Photo Contest from Grand Geneva last summer and I had the pleasure of meeting up with them yesterday to shoot their photos as part of their prize.

Kristie & Conor flew me to Washington, DC to shoot their engagement session. It was a quick overnight trip and we had perfect weather the Monday I arrived. It was so fun to walk around DC and take photos with limitless backdrops. I must have walked 10 miles before during and after our time together.

Natalie and Mark were married at The Rotunda in downtown Waukesha. While the day turned out to be cold and windy you could see the warmth and love on Mark's eyes every time he gazed at his beautiful bride.
We started by meeting up in the parking lot of Waukesha State Bank. There is an unbelievably gorgeous river walk with bridges, archways, rock structures and gazebo. The rain held off just in time to get photos we needed. Then when we reached Rotunda and wanted to shoot some romantics in front of the majestic main entrance it started snowing! Yes, it snowed on April 16th! But I think the snowflakes really added something to the shots. Below are some favorite images from the day.

Katie and Brent were married at the Westin in Chicago. We started out with a first look in the bridal suite and then headed off on the trolley to the Planetarium to get some skyline shots and shoot the wedding party. While it was a beautiful sunny day the weather was a bit nippy with the wind. But nothing could put a damper on the love that Katie and Brent have for each other. Katie was absolutely stunning and Brent couldn't stop smiling.

Meet Cassy and Frank. They are getting hitched on October 15th and we decided to get the engagement photos done in the middle of February. Winter engagements always present a bit of a challenge because it can be cold and windy. But we picked a pretty good day to shoot. Not too cold or windy. Although my fingers were numb by the end of the shoot.
Grand Geneva is one of my favorite cold day locations because there are beautiful places to shoot all the way around the hotel. If it gets too cold we can go inside to shoot for a bit and then go back out for more scenic locations.
Below are some sample images from the shoot.
