cass & brian - okauchee lake wedding photographer

Cass & Brian got married in Mexico, but decided to throw a big ol' party back in WI so everyone could celebrate together. We joined them at The Golden Mast Inn in Okauchee Lake - a simply incredible venue [with super cool photo spots around every corner] overlooking the lake. 

You can tell by the way these two interact that they have SO much fun together. When I first met with them, I instantly knew that their reception would be a blast. It's so refreshing to see couples who don't take themselves too seriously... and if dancing is some kind of metaphor for love - these two got it goin' on ;)

Cass & Brian - enjoy your preview, and thank you for the candy bar. We enjoyed it the entire drive home ;) 

uh, see what I mean? :)

they were singing to each other during their first dance. CUTIES!

Be it good luck or not, it always makes us a little anxious when the morning before a wedding - it's raining. Especially when it's POURING. Luckily, Lindsey's grandma was lookin' out for her and Tim on their big day ;) By the time we arrived to her parents house, we were in the clear weather wise, and the day went by without a hitch. 

Following the ceremony, we headed to Hartland for a beautiful reception at The Legend at Bristlecone Golf Course, where we had lots and lots of time for group and bridal portraits. A shout out to the fabulous wedding party. You guys were awesome. And hilarious. 

Lindsey & Tim - enjoy your sneak peek :) We heard that we missed the Racing Sausages at the reception. How many people can say they had the Racing Sausages at their wedding reception? Jealous ;)

Tim's shoes were equally as impressive as his bride's ;)

beauty.

CUTIES.

the sunset was absolutely incredible. sigh...

heather & chad - milwaukee wedding photographer

We have been in anticipation of Heather & Brad's [uh, I mean CHAD'S] wedding for awhile now... sorry, couldn't resist! In our initial meeting, they were not technically engaged yet, just early planners. Chad explained that when you know, you just know [insert awwww! here], and given that Heather was a bit nosy, he was holding off for the perfect time to pop the question :)


The ceremony was held at Good Shepherd Catholic Church in Menomonee Falls. While one of the girls had a MINOR glitch and couldn't zip her dress until about 3 minutes pre-ceremony, we still managed to squeeze in an impromptu first look, since Heather & Chad started greeting guests before the wedding. 


From there, we headed to downtown Menomonee Falls for group shots, then made a quick stop to their house to get a couple shots in with Chuck Norris, the couples 100+ pound St. Bernard PUPPY. Oh Chuck, you are so cute, even though you just wanted to run around and play the whole time :)


Reception was help at the Hilton Garden Inn, where the dance floor NEVER cleared - and we were there until 11pm! 


Enjoy your preview guys. We sure did have a blast!

okay, lots of members of the wedding party are police officers, so this pose was a must.

I think Chuck wants to be a model when he grows up :)

Their cake was AMAZING. Included on the tier cake was Cafe Hollander... 

where they had their first date :)
