Julie & Mike’s Milwaukee wedding was intimate, intentional, and completely them. A small ceremony surrounded by the people they love, rain falling beautifully throughout the entire day, a spontaneous coffee stop, and somehow… the most gorgeous sunset decided to show up for us anyway. ✨the weather was just so perfect I want to photograph in the rain all the time 😍
And because every good wedding needs a little sweetness, they celebrated their reception with a super cute ice cream truck. 🍦
There’s something so special about weddings that don’t feel like they’re trying to be anything other than what the couple actually wants. No huge production. No pressure. Just good people, good food, lots of love, and a day filled with the little moments that made it theirs.
And selfishly, this one means a little extra to me. 🥹 Julie & Mike were my first wedding as a Wisconsin photographer for one of my couples after moving here, and getting to photograph their day in Milwaukee felt like the sweetest welcome to this new chapter.
Wisconsin, I think I’m going to like it here. 🤍
Julie & Mike — thank you for trusting me with the beginning of this chapter. Your day was beautiful in every way. ☕️🌧️🌅🍦
Milwaukee weddings, intimate weddings, rainy wedding days, and all the imperfectly perfect moments in between… I’m here for it. 📷✨
