I’ve known Sarah her whole life…and in fact her parents have known me for my whole life! From being the RING BEARER at their wedding…to photographing the wedding of their daughter…what a wonderful circle of connections!

This spot was just along a walkway, but the colors, layers and textures were to much to pass up! Not to mention the perfect moment!

One of the best parts of being an engagement photographer…is to see the real smiles and laughs as they share a little bit about themselves with me!

One of my favorite Madison features: The lakes!  You can’t go wrong with a setting sun over water!

Madison Engagement: Allen Centennial Garden + Tenney Park

Allen Centennial Garden Engagement Photos

We headed up to Wisconsin for our first photoshoot in Madison for Ilana + Yonatan! Before their Tenney Park engagement photos, we started their session on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus! Nestled between dorm halls and research laboratories was this cute little garden space! Though we are located in Chicago, if you know anyone looking for an engagement or proposal photographer – contact us!
