Introducing Mr. & Mrs. Brown!
What a truly glorious Autumn wedding. It was the first wedding of the year that had all the feels of fall. But, even more than that, it was elegant, heart felt, and Emily & Eric had the most beautiful private vow readings that made us tear up as they poured out their devotion to one another. The rain clouds parted and the sun shone down on them with all its glory. It’s moments like those that you KNOW God is just smiling down on them. It was such an honor to witness and capture it all! And always wonderful to work alongside:

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Wedding at The Pavilion Orchard Ridge Farms - Kristen & Chase
We started the day at The Goodwin Hotel and Iron Works Hotel for their getting ready photos. (Brides, if you’re looking for the most photogenic getting ready space for your wedding day, look no further than the Goodwin Hotel! We cannot get over how beautiful their space is. …with the most PERFECT rooftop for your first look.) Afterwards, we headed over to The Pavilion for their ceremony and reception…
We have been looking forward to this day for years! Literally! It’s been such a treat to get to work with Kristen and Chase ever since we met them during our first meeting. We know there has been great disappointment for our couples and their postponements, but getting to see everyone reunited this year and throwing the wedding day they’ve been dreaming of has been such a blast! These two were able to pull out all the stops and it truly was the dreamiest of days. We started the day at The Goodwin Hotel and Iron Works Hotel for their getting ready photos.

Truly, this venue is one of our absolute favorites. Kristen and Chase may have had one of the hottest and humid days of the year, but they were such troopers and we’d say beating the heat was well worth it for The Pavilion’s views. We’re truly sad that this day is over, but we’re so thankful for these two and the gift of getting to work with them over these past couple of years. Kristen & Chase, may you have a marriage that’s as beautiful as your wedding day! It’s been such a delight to get to know you and we’re so honored to have been a part of your wedding day team.

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Haley Mansion Wedding - Mary & Steve
We are the biggest fans of The Haley Mansion, but add the most joyful bride and her wonderful crew and it’s a recipe for perfection. Mary and Steve’s color scheme were a treat to capture! We’ll forever be fans of blushes, whites, and creams! Even her cutting cake and macaroons by Millett’s Cakes, bridesmaid dresses, and florals by Steen perfectly complimented one another!

2021 Mini Sessions
Each year we look forward to seeing past couples and their growing families, as well as meeting amazing new couples and families for our annual mini sessions! Usually, we are trying to squeeze these sessions in at the last moment since weddings have been our main focus for the last 9 years. 2020 has given us a new perspective and appreciation for family and lifestyle photography. It’s such a privilege to capture your family, whether its a family of two or ten, toddlers or fur babies, and we can’t wait to see you again!
This year we have planned four Mini Session weekends for 2021 available for booking depending on the season you are most interested. These weekends are reserved on a first come, first serve basis and you can reserve your date and time below.
Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Chicago Autumn Wedding - Sarah & Scott
This was our very last wedding of 2020 and I can’t think of a better way to have capped it all off. Sarah & Scott were absolutely amazing navigating all the changes just days before their wedding as the Chicago area began shutting back down again. Many of their plans may have changed, but it didn’t seem to phase them or the joy and celebration that was October 31st, 2020. They decided on changing their reception space to a small intimate gathering with their closest family and friends at a friend’s beautiful home in the suburbs. It truly was such an honor to capture and witness such a sacred day. 2020 has changed how we see weddings and it’s all been because of the most incredible couples this year who decided that their love couldn’t be canceled. We celebrate Sarah & Scott. Their attitudes, their joy, their ability to roll with all the punches 2020 may have brought their way. If every couple can get through the challenges of what 2020 brought and still decide to tie the knot regardless what what or how they envisioned their day to be, then we truly believe they’re going to be able to weather the storm. Because marriage isn’t perfect. It’s full of a few unseen 2020’s. But, it’s about the commitment to saying yes every single day even if the circumstances surrounding you aren’t perfect. …and even though Sarah & Scott’s plans may have changed, we think it turned out even more perfect than the original plan. These two are the real deal and they showed every bit of that during this season. We respect and appreciate them both! Enjoy all the beauty from their perfect day!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Wilder Mansion Garden Wedding - Caitlin & Mark
It’s the perfect moment to relive this day as I sit inside on my computer avoiding this -3 day. Mark & Caitlin’s outdoor garden ceremony at the Wilder Mansion was pure joy, warmth, sunshine, and life this summer. …and this is just a taste of what’s to come for their larger celebration in 2021! It truly is a gift to get to have the loveliest couples for two years in a row despite the circumstances that has surrounded this past year. As much as we’re looking forward to this upcoming year, we’re also so thankful for Caitlin & Mark’s intimate wedding ceremony and getting to be there to capture their first look and “I do’s”. Everything about this day is filling us back up and gearing us up for more days like these. Caitlin & Mark, it was such a treat! Cannot wait to capture you both again with more of your loved ones by your side!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Baton Rouge, Louisiana Wedding - Heather & Matthew
This a really special one for us. This fall, Jordan’s cousin Heather married her very best friend and Jordan got to capture all the love (Meg attended the ceremony with the kiddos!) We traveled down to Jordan’s home state and spent the week with the entire Imhoff side of the family in Baton Rouge. It was such a joy of a day. Heather is so dear to us. She lives and loves so big. She’s thoughtful, shares our love for Disney World (LOVE when we get to go there with her) and oozes Southern hospitality. And we cannot be more excited in getting to welcome Matt to our family! He is as equally kind, thoughtful, and such a keeper. This day is the antithesis of a gorgeous Southern Wedding at the Governor’s Mansion. Heather handled the accommodations for Covid rules with so much grace. Enjoy all the Southern inspiration & elegance along with cameos of our siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Autumn Chicago Elopement - Emily & Brandon
Emily and Brandon are two of the most lovely humans we’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. These two had a wedding scheduled for April of 2020. They were the first couple we figured this all out with and I cannot begin to express how thankful we are to still get to work with them this upcoming year as they celebrate with more of their friends and loved ones. To say that they handled this last year in stride and grace is an understatement . We have SO MUCH respect for them. Their kindness and their communication as we just simply took last spring day by day. They decided on an intimate elopement this past fall and they tied the knot in Chicago surrounded by their very closest family members. It was beautiful. Their joy wasn’t squelched by the pandemic, and we’re beyond excited to get to keep them with us this upcoming year. For now, enjoy all the beauty and joy from their first wedding celebration!

Lake Geneva Wedding Photographers | Autumn Wedding at The Grand Geneva - Kaitlyn and Jake
We knew before it even started that this day was going to be as close to perfect as it gets. It’s like the entire state of Wisconsin was glowing and showing off just for these two on their wedding day. This happened to be our one and only full wedding day due to covid this year. I’m thrilled for these two and the perfect date they choose to say “I do” with as many friends and family members that were able to celebrate.
I think we would relive this day over and over if we could. I remember when we were driving through Kaitlyn’s neighborhood on our way for getting ready pictures and feeling sheer excitement as we noted how perfect the colors were on the trees.

Kaitlyn’s Jenny Yoo gown was jaw dropping. It swayed and flowed so prfectly in those golden reeds. Kaitlyn & Jake’s portraits might be some of our all time favorites in the Lake Geneva area. …golden hour in Autumn is magical. We loved every bit of this day. The locations, the people, the venue; it’s days like this that never feel like work. Kaitlyn & Jake, thank you so much for the honor of getting to be a part of this dream day. We’re so thankful to have been a part of your team. May your marriage be as beautiful as the two of you were on October 24th, 2020.

It’s going to be a glorious day when we can all come together again and celebrate life and love. Until then, cheers to Jake & Kaitlyn!

I’m not sure there is anything more dreamy than a fall wedding on Lake Geneva. Mollie & Tyler flew all the way from Seattle to join their family and friends for one incredible destination wedding at The Abbey Resort. These two did all their planning from across the country. If you’ve ever been in that situation, you know how hard it is to nail down all those details from afar, but this day couldn’t have come together more beautifully. Their whites, creams, and greenery paired so romantically with the changing leaves and Autumn light. What a treat of a day to capture. And it’s true. West Coasters are truly as laid back and go with the flow as they say : ) Mollie & Tyler, thank you for the honor of allowing us to capture such a sweet and elegant destination wedding at one of our favorite places of all time.
