Best of 2022 Weddings

Its been a while, too long in fact since I posted/blogged last! During the busy season I am often running from one shoot or wedding to another and find it more important to make sure I am getting clients their images as fast as possible. But at the same time I do love to share my clients joy! So her is a quick overview of the 2022 wedding season!

The biodegradable confetti at the end of the first wedding of the season at Geneva National was amazing!

Branding Photography - Lake Geneva, WI

As social media has taken over our lives, more and more small businesses are forced to use it as a way to connect to potential clients.  Clients read your Facebook or Instagram posts to see who you are.  More people are developing relationships with your brand online than ever before. A branding photography session is a great way to put your best foot forward and give your business a launching point or bring fresh new life to an already existing business. In my branding sessions I want to help you tell your story. To help your potential clients fall in love with your product or service! There is careful planning and attention to detail that needs to take place in order to get it done right and give you images that will last! Here is a look at one of my most recent branding sessions.

Gabby & Justin's Winter Wonderland Engagement Session Darien, WI

When I first met Gabby & Justin at their Horse Boarding Facility, Monty’s Back Acres in Darien, WI to discuss their wedding day wants and needs. One of the many things we discussed was their engagement session! They really wanted to have photos done in the snow and with one of their horses! Of course I was excited! And we ended up having a perfect day! There was fresh snow on the trees it was a perfect 32 degrees and it was overcast. Here is a look at a few of my favorite images from their session!

Probably my favorite moment…. I asked to see their dancing skills and they busted out a line dance!
