Images we love from 2011

It’s amazing how fun – yet difficult – it is to look back on and choose favorites from an entire year’s worth of images. We did the math and realized we’ve delivered around 14,000 images to our clients throughout this year. That kind of a lot, right? Trying to search through those and decide on our absolute favorites is amazingly tricky. Yes, Ray and I are a team but we don’t always have the same preferences. :)

Over the past few days, we’ve focused on updating our portfolio (so go check out all the new/updated portfolio galleries!), but here is a very small selection of our absolute favorite images from 2011 – our top 10, we think. :) Every one of these images evokes some sort of emotion in both of us, even after looking at them close to hundreds of times.


Dear Rob, Kelsey, Ryan, Jess, Lindsey, Art, Adam, Annie, Robbie, Sarah, Greg, Jackie, Jason, Lane, Nate, Katie, DJ, Melissa, Billy, Kelly, Dan, Colleen, Pasquale, Chessie, Brian, Kristy, William, Leah, Matt, Mindy, Dan, Michelle, Nick, Gayle, Rich, Patty, Ryan, Miranda:

We’re so deeply grateful that you chose us to be a part of your wedding. We only have images like this because each of you invited us in and trusted us to do what we love.

Thank you. So much.

We're on a treasure hunt for beauty. We want our images to take you right back to the grand moments of your day, and to the milliseconds that flew past, the ones you couldn't stop to breathe and look around and appreciate while they were happening. We don't invent those moments. We recognize them.

Our couples trust us to document the people and moments that matter most to them, which frees them up to spend the day with each other instead of with us.

We're rooted near Viroqua, in Wisconsin's Driftless Region, a small foodie-and-outdoors town that shaped how we see beauty in everyday moments. From there we travel across the state, with Madison and Door County among our most-photographed areas, alongside Milwaukee, Spring Green and La Crosse. Fifteen+ years in, we still don't take the trust of a wedding day lightly.
