Had the absolute pleasure of documenting these two getting engaged last summer because her best friend found me and said, “I know she’s going to love you.” SHE WAS DAMN RIGHT. 😂 Somehow working with these two immediately turned into feeling like I was just hanging out and joking around with friends.

Fast forward to their engagement session, that same bestie that found me last year was about to get engaged, and E asked if I could be there to photograph it. Unfortunately I was already booked, and she texted me: “I wish you could be there!! The best photographer because you honestly feel just like another friend and hype woman!!! 👏👏”

LIKE????? ARE YOU KIDDING ME. 😭

Getting to go from secretly documenting their proposal to photographing this season of their lives, and somehow becoming the photographer they want there for their people too???

Yeah. This job is THEE best.

I remember our first call and hearing these two talk about their plans and immediately thinking, yep, these are my freaking people!!!!!!!!!

Their wedding was intimate, intentional, meaningful to THEM, and reminded me so much of what Matthew and I wanted when we planned our own.

Your wedding does not need to look a certain way for me to be excited about photographing it. Big, small, backyard, ballroom, religious, not religious, traditional, completely untraditional.

I care about how it FEELS.

I want you to be utterly obsessed with each other. I want you to give a damn about the people you invited and the day you’re creating together. I want you to be so present that you forget I’m even there half the time.

Because that’s when I get to watch, document what’s already happening, and step in when you need me. That’s it. That’s my ultimate dream wedding day scenario. 😂

So if that happens to be you and you’re still looking for your 2027 wedding photographer, I’d LOVE to hear what matters most to you when it comes to documenting your wedding day. Connect with me at the link in my bio.

Details, quiet moments, happy tears, and all the feels from S + M’s beautiful wedding day at Milwaukee’s iconic St. James 1868.

I walked into this reception space and immediately stopped in my tracks. Jaw ON THE FLOOR. The colors, the patterns, the textures… utterly OBSESSED.

When the venue owner asked if I would climb a ladder for some extra detail shots, I couldn’t have said yes any faster. We had a shared obsession with the bride’s vision, and seeing the couples reaction seeing it come to life was everything.✨

Since becoming a mom, my love for all things welcoming a new life into the world has quickly become one of my FAVORITE parts of being a couples photographer.

Because there’s something so insanely special about this weird little in between phase. You know your entire life is about to change, everything feels sooooo new, you’re already imagining this tiny person you haven’t even met yet, but for just a little while longer, it’s still the two of you. 🥲

And I know pregnancy announcements are usually about sharing the news with everyone else, but I am also VERY much on team making sure you’re documenting it for yourselves, too.

The excitement. The anticipation. The way you look at each other knowing you made a whole ass HUMAN together. 😭 I am so painfully aware that a year from now you’ll be looking back at these moments crying about how fast life is moving. And it’ll bring me to tears every single time behind the camera, even if it’s our first time meeting. Can’t help it, it’s the empath in me. :,))))

Because one day, these won’t just be your pregnancy announcement photos. They’ll be the photos you show that tiny human when they’re not so tiny anymore.

I don’t want to deliver a wedding gallery that’s just pretty. Let’s be real, that’s like the bare minimum you should expect from your wedding photographer, right? Not around here. The ultimate standard I hold myself to is creating a gallery that makes you FEEL.

I want you to look through your wedding photos and remember how it felt seeing your grandma look at you as a bride in the dress she helped you pick out. The nerves building before seeing your partner for the first time. The emotions that completely took over when it finally happened. Your sister hugging you and not wanting to let go. Your nieces and nephews looking at you like you actually were a Disney princess. The absolute joy of watching all of your favorite people laugh, cry, hug, dance, and love the absolute s**t out of you.

Because yes, as a wedding photographer, I care about the beautiful portraits, the pretty details, and making everything look GOOD. But wedding photography, to me, is just as much about preserving what your wedding day felt like as what it looked like.

And 20, 30, 50 years from now??? I have a feeling these are the photos that are going to mean everything. The candid, emotional, blink and you miss it moments that bring you right back to the people you love and exactly how you felt that day.

IIIIIIIT’S CREATIVE CALL TIIIIIIME!!!..............
Not sure if “creative call” is a thing??? Buuuut idc, I’m making it one now if not lmao.

I sent out an email to my VIP list first and already have one location locked down, HOWEVER, I have approximately 384 things I’ve been wanting to practice, create, and tbh... just have some fun with. SOOOOO, I decided it’s time to post this here too.

These are a little different than a normal session with me. They’re heavily discounted, portfolio-driven sessions where you essentially hand me the creative reins. I choose the concept/location, help style you, and use the session to try something new, practice something I want to get even better at, or FINALLY create something that’s been living rent free in my brain for an ungodly amount of time. 🫠

You do NOT need to be engaged or married. You DO, however, need to be comfortable being affectionate, moving around, taking direction, potentially wearing something I help choose/style, fully trusting me when I say, “okay this might sound weird but just go with it", annnnnnd allow me to use the images for any and all marketing necessary.

These sessions are offered at a heavily reduced rate of $300 and include your final edited gallery. I do not gatekeep memories around here, so while you can expect somewhere around 50–75 photos, if I love it, you get it. 😂 Locations/concepts will vary, and any location permit fees would be additional if applicable.

A FEW DATES I’M LOOKING TO FILL WITH CREATIVE CALLS:
• Sunday, September 13th
• Sunday, September 20th
• Sunday, October 11th

If this sounds like your kinda thing, OR you know a couple who REALLY deserves some updated photos together, comment below, tag them, or shoot me a message!!!! 👀 And YES, past clients are absolutely welcome. Actually... P L E A S E come frolic with me again, I miss you hahahaha.

LET’S MAKE SOME FREAKING ART TOGETHERRRRR!!!!

Brick walls, candlelight, that DRESS (the moment I see a bride pull out sleeves, I just about fall over every time), and the sweetest “I literally cannot stop looking at you” energy from these two on their fall wedding day at Gibson Social Club.

You see a lot of my work around here, but not a whole lot of me. One day I’ll get back to frequently showing my face (who remembers my vlogs????), but motherhood has had me in a chokehold lately.

ANYYYYYWAYS, hi. I’m Cailey. A Milwaukee wedding photographer, mom, professional hype woman, and someone who firmly believes love comes in alllllll forms and deserves to be celebrated, no matter what it looks like.

A few fun facts about me:

💌 HUUUUGE music lover and unfortunately capable of reciting an absurd amount of song lyrics on command. Music of all kinds. My newest hobby is record hunting after getting my first record player.

💌 I am the proudest mom to the sweetest (almost) 5-month-old little boy, Calum.

💌 My husband, Matthew, and I had a small wedding in Sedona, Arizona with just 16 of our closest family and friends. The place itself held no meaning to either of us before our wedding, but now it means everything.

💌 No matter how many weddings I attend as a guest or vendor, I still cry during personal vows and first dances. Every. Single. Time.

💌 When I first started photography, I swore I would never shoot weddings because I thought I’d get bored. Turns out I couldn’t have been more wrong. Nothing sets my soul on fire quite like documenting a wedding day.

Now I want to get to know YOU.

Tell me a fun fact about yourself below. And if you’re in the market for a photographer, HEEEEYYY new bestie. It’s so nice to meet you.

You can learn more about working with me at the link in my bio.

Thank you for being here. Truly. Mean it.

LOVE YAAAA!

The way I could actually make an entire feed out of this wedding alone…get used to seeing these two. 🤭

Such a special one as this was my very first time photographing a traditional Korean wedding ceremony, and getting a firsthand look at the traditions, symbolism, and the ways another culture celebrates love and honors family was such a gift.

This multicultural wedding at White Deer Run Golf Club in Vernon Hills, Illinois included both a traditional Western ceremony and a traditional Korean hanbok wedding ceremony, and every part of it was so intentional and joy-filled. Not only did I learn so much about my bride’s culture, it also served as the best reminder that there is no one “right” way to get married. Wedding days come in allllllll sorts of varieties, but they all deserve the same love and attention as the next.

Feeling really grateful that this job continually allows me to learn, connect, and document love in all of its beautiful forms. 🖤
