Milwaukee WI Photographer | Wisconsin Engagement | Samantha and Ben

We planned a winter engagement session, thinking that hot chocolate with baileys and cute winter set up would be perfect! Except winter hasn't come to Wisconsin..yet. I'm not complaining.. I do not like snow.. freezing temps or winter jackets. So when Samantha told me they were getting married in Mexico during March.. I was like take me! I like warm beaches, in the middle of winter and sipping on Mojitos by the pool! ;)

Madison Wisconsin Couple Engagement | Erin & Casey

Last year we met Erin and Casey and wedding in Manitowoc WI. My husband was envious of Casey's haircut and I mean Erin absolutely gorgeous! So when I decided to plan a styled Wisconsin engagement session, I knew the exact couple that would fit my style and the dress that I wanted!  We had an AMAZING time and I can't wait to style more brides and grooms! Here's a little note from Erin about their love story...

Their Story 

"Casey and my love story began years ago. Through fate and perfect timing, we reunited with the same everlasting spark and chemistry! Casey and I are so excited to be announcing that we are getting married this upcoming August at the Majestic Theatre in Madison Wisconsin http://www.majesticmadison.com! After saying yes to my best friend and future husband, I hoped to find a photographer that could express how happy we both feel! We were so pleased to have met Karen!"
