“And nobody does it better, makes me feel sad for the rest. Nobody does it half as good as you. Baby, baby, Darlin', you're the best.” - Carly Simon

If anyone knows me they know how much I love music, I think my younger brother would argue that he’s more music obsessed them I am, however bottom line, my siblings and I were raised to love and appreciate music and I believe that when I find other people who love and appreciate music as much as I do we just click.

During our very first time meeting each other, music was one of the first things we bonded over. Talking about different artists and various concerts we had all been to. Matilda and Riley shared that bond between the two of them and just like the music they listened to they were brilliant and unique and full of love for each other and everything creative. Matilda has a very creative eye and you’ll see throughout the wedding day how that just brought everything together!

As everyone was getting ready the morning of the wedding you could feel the excitement mounting as we neared the time for the first look. Matilda picked a beautiful location in downtown Milwaukee at which to see her soon-to-be husband for the first time on their wedding day! We proceeded to explore the area along the river walk for pictures and play around with lots of different background settings, a photographer’s playground if you will!! You will find you never have to ask me twice to spend extra time on a wedding day taking portraits!

After portraits, we headed over to South Shore Park for the beautiful outdoor ceremony overlooking Lake Michigan and a reception in the lovely Terrace at the park! After the ceremony Matilda and Riley got to take a little stroll to soak in the moments that had just occurred and it was so special to be a fly on the wall as they reflected on the days events. Everyone busted out their best dance moves for the dancing portion of the reception and the night played on with the best soundtrack to end a perfect day!

Matilda & Riley thank you for choosing and trusting me to be your wedding photographer. Meeting and becoming friends has been such a treat! As you start your new lives together Zach and I wish you nothing but the best and a lifetime of love, laughter, and happily ever after!!
