I think it is so sweet how things have come full circle. They met as a groomsman and bridesmaid in a wedding a few years ago. It must have been love at first sight because they hit it off at the wedding and haven’t stopped thinking about each other since. Now, in just a few short months they will stand up together again. But this time as Husband and Wife.

Turner and Erica’s Second Nature at Readscreek Engagement Session

Damian and Leigh had the outdoor ceremony by the river that they’d been dreaming of. And the water droplets only added to the romance of the day. After the ceremony, we did some fun photos with the wedding party and clear umbrellas. And of course, some of the new Mr. and Mrs. Jilk!

Damian and Leigh at Celebrations on the River, La Crosse, Wisconsin

Buddy and Julia had such a beautiful day at Celebrations on the River in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Julia’s own words were, “We got the best of all the worlds”. She was referring to the rollercoaster of emotions that the constant change of the weather forecast brought. Leading up to their day, my weather app said […]

Buddy and Julia’s Blush and Navy Wedding at Celebrations on the River

Jordan and Madison’s wedding was one in a million. They were both so laidback, ready for fun, and organized. Everything just flowed so smoothly. I loved the intentionality and thought these two put into their day. Their ceremony was beautiful. One of Madison’s lifelong friends, Owen, was officiating. As a friend, he was able to […]

Jordan and Madison’s May Wedding at Celebrations on the River

We couldn’t have timed this session better to get beautiful spring blossoms for Cole and Treena’s engagement photos. We started near Boscobel, Wisconsin and ended at Treena’s Grandma’s farm. Her Grandpa chauffeured us around when the light was starting to slip away a little too quickly. Springtime this year has been full of rainy nights and muddy days. But, our evening together was beautiful. Not too hot, not too cold, a slight breeze whispering through the apple blossoms. Sunshine peeking through the branches. And God painted his artwork on the evening sky for some sweet sunset photos in the hayfield.

Words cannot describe how excited I am for Tim and Lynnae’s wedding next summer. I was already in love with Lynnae’s vision after meeting her for coffee and chatting all about her wedding day plans. Now that I’ve seen the two of them together, my heart is overflowing. These two are so fun and laidback […]

Tim and Lynnae’s Wisconsin Engagement Session on Farm

Shawn and Lindsey had originally planned an intimate backyard wedding at their home in Richland Center, with a reception in Tomah to follow. It seems Wisconsin October weather had other plans though. I was amazed how smoothly everything transitioned to Cranberry Lodge in Tomah. The staff there was so kind, attentive and paid attention to […]

Shawn and Lindsey’s October Wedding in Tomah Wisconsin

Talk about magic. Mason and Ashlea absolutely rocked their engagement session. It started out cloudy, but just in time for golden hour the sun came out. And boy did the sky decide to show off then. It was a little chilly. A little windy. The trees were still greener than we expected. But I don’t […]

Mason and Ashlea’s Engagement Photos in La Crosse Wisconsin

Buddy and Julia drove down from the Twin Cities for their engagement session in La Crosse. So many things I love about this session and about this couple. For the session? Well for one, it was the perfect fall evening. We found a really pretty colorful patch of trees (even if everywhere else in the […]

Buddy and Julia’s Autumn La Crosse Wisconsin Engagement Session

Jadyn wanted their session to feel like them. She went with denim and matching black t-shirts because it just reflected their style. They love to be outdoors – hunting, camping, fishing. Jadyn and Jacob packed a picnic to incorporate as well which I loved.
