Steve + Leah’s Waupaca Adventures

It’s Friday. So this is an appropriate post for today. Because it will make you want to find some water and jump into a boat, explore some woods and run through some wide open fields at sunset. (Or at least we hope it will!) That’s what we did with Steve + Leah a couple Fridays ago and it was wonderful. And the perfect way for us to end a vacation and start ‘work’ again. Though, honestly, shooting never feels like work to us.

Steve + Leah giggled their way through the whole session and we couldn’t have asked for anything more. We’re so excited for their wedding on the same farm where we ended the night… they’re getting married in just a couple weeks, among the apple trees on the land where Leah grew up. Can’t. wait.

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.
