“That might sound boring, but I think the boring stuff is the stuff I remember the most.” — Russell from Disney Pixar Up

Maria and Logan are FAR from boring but when I was searching for a quote for this post I kept coming back to this one from the movie Up, which is where they got the music for their recessional song. To me, that quote means that even the most simple things in life can bring the most joy and happiness to a relationship and at the end of the day, yes, you will remember those big mountaintop experiences, but you hopefully also remember all the simple everyday experiences you have with the person you love. This I feel describes Logan and Maria, they have shared so many amazing moments in life but still find joy in the normal activities of the day-to-day and just love spending time together doing whatever needs to be done.
I have known the Noll family for several years and have been a part of so many amazing moments that it was an honor to be a part of yet another big milestone in Maria’s life.

As we pulled up the Brindlewood Barn on Saturday morning I knew we were in for a treat! What a gorgeous venue. Every aspect of the venue was thought out and made photography so easy because there were so many ways to be creative with the space!

Finishing touches on hair and makeup led into the beautiful letters that Maria and Logan wrote for each other. I was fighting back tears as Maria read aloud Logan’s letter, such heartfelt sentiments that truly matched her own. Once dressed we had only wait for the moment the whole day centered around, the ceremony! Mr. & Mrs. Noll both walked Maria down the aisle. Logan was so moved by the beauty of his bride and it made me tear up to see him so happy. It’s moments like that that make me so honored to be the one capturing these moments in time. I mean look at his face, that is a Man who is just in love with his soon-to-be wife!

After some windy portraits and an awesome picture on the venue's barn ramp with all the guests in attendance, we enjoyed dinner, speeches, outstanding desserts, and a lively dance floor. What more could you ask for to end such a perfect day?

Maria and Logan, thank you for trusting me with documenting your love story. I have loved watching each chapter unfold and I cannot wait to see what amazing things are in store for both of you as you begin your new life as Mr. & Mrs. Boldt

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!!
