Engagement Session on the Lake | Jake + Jess

At the beginning of the day I was convinced that the time I had scheduled to meet with Jake and Jess was going to be overcast and rainy – if not pouring.  But they were still up for making it work, so we met by the water in Madison and my weather forecast couldn’t have been more wrong.  =)

The early evening light was beautiful (and so is this couple).  I’m excited to see them again at their wedding early next year.

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. Nineteen years in, we still don't take the trust of a wedding day lightly.
