Thanks!!

Bayfield Wedding Photographer | Anne & David in Windy Bayfield

Anne & David's beautiful candlelight ceremony was held on a particularly windy October day in Bayfield.

Enjoy!

County Hwy D in Bayfield County

This post has nada to do with weddings or portraits, but I LOVE this road!  I have a thing for backroads and county blacktop :).  I get it from my father - we actually danced our "Father-Daughter" dance at Jim & I's wedding to "I Can't Drive 55" by Sammy Hagar.  My husband is a police officer, so his guests (mostly cops) pretty much stood there with their mouths hanging open...  :). Te he he Anyway, I digress...

Here is County Hwy D on Sunday - it was gorgeous, and the snow was amazing on the trees! I was heading out to Lakewoods Resort in Cable to get some very fun engagement photos with Annie and Scott - more of those later!














The highway goes right through the Chequamegon forest and the Great Divide...









Lakewoods was a little frozen!




Hope everyone is having a fabulous day!

Wisconsin Maternity Photographer | Lindsay and Cory!

This was a very fun shoot for me!  Lindsay is adorable and laughs a lot, so it was the perfect fit for a Stonehouse shoot :).






I am pretty sure I said something very odd here from the look on their faces :)

New Stuff!

I am obsessed with Design Aglow (seriously, they have made my life so much easier!!).  Here are two new things for 2010 that I have designed using their fabulous templates:

The new Stonehouse wall calendar (and you can put any photo you want in it - this is just the one I am giving away at the Duluth Bridal Show):

My new business card:

Anne & David's slideshow is uploading, and Ashley & Josh's will be up soon as well :) 

Merry Christmas everyone!

I hope everyone has had a wonderful Christmas- please travel safely!!!

I got this great shot of Bayfield's Brown Santa yesterday.  We love Kurt :).

Mt. Olivet Minneapolis Wedding | One Brave Bride!

A sneak peek at Ashley & Josh's AWESOME winter wedding at Mt Olivet in Minneapolis. Ashley is very brave :)

I have been accepted into the Artistic Guild Of Wedding Photojournalists!

I kind of announced this this past summer, however I had weddings coming out my ears (which I love!), so I didn't make a big deal about it.

Did you know I am one of only FIVE photographers in the State of Wisconsin who has been accepted into the Artistic Guild of Wedding Photojournalists?

This is the description of the Guild:

"The Artistic Guild of the Wedding Photojournalist Association [AG]WPJA is a group of international wedding photojournalists, who capture unscripted wedding moments as they happen, and excel in the art of post-production image processing. The [AG]WPJA is a division within the Wedding Photojournalist Association (WPJA); one which specifically promotes Fine Art Wedding Photojournalism"

When I realized there were so few of us, I was very excited :).

Bayfield Wedding | Leah & Clarke at the Chateau Boutin!

This is Leah & Clarke's gorgeous Bayfield wedding!  They were married at the beautiful Chateau Boutin that looks right over the Bayfield waterfront. I photographed Leah getting ready in the suite with her mom.  Her mom sewed her dress AND her shoes! Seriously, they are stunning.

The ceremony itself was outside in the gazebo of the Chateau.  The shot of the flowergirl walking up is one of my favorites, she looks beautiful!  By the way, Leah sewed the flower girl's dress.  I am so jealous of some people's crafting ability :).

 

At the end of the day we wandered around Bayfield to get photos in a bunch of locations!  I had a TON of fun with these two.  You should check out Leah's company:  http://www.otb-games.com/.  No wonder she is so fun :)

Christmas Cookies in Bayfield!

Big Water Cafe and Coffee Roasters had their first annual holiday cookie decorating party this past weekend.  It was FABULOUS!  Brie made her Grandmother's cookie recipe and we had a blast spreading icing all over:).  My husband is MUCH better at it than I am, but I think the kid with the icing all over his face had the best attitude!

 
It got a bit messy...

But then there were the "perfectionists"  ;)

I love their mocha's too :)

Bayfield Wedding Photographer | Rose & Chad's Northwoods Wedding

Here is the slideshow for Rose & Chad's awesome Northwoods wedding!  It takes a bit to load... I will have a blog entry for this wedding next week, along with ones from all my September & October weddings - whew - its been a busy few months!!
