I just finished some changes Liz & Andrew had to their wedding album. I am really happy with the way this book turned out. All the pages have a slight paper texture that together with calligraphy embellishments give it a vintage feel. Take a look HERE.

This is my first VR post......oooooo.......ahahahah. I am going to start doing these when I have time at every wedding. There is no better way to show off a room than with a virtual tour.
I almost forgot to post this time lapse of the reception hall at Lake Lawn resort being set up.

A friend and co-worker, a beautiful day, and a dress shrouded in secrecy made Sundays wedding one to remember. It was my privilege to document Liz & Andrew's wedding at the Golden Mast. Liz is the tuxedo manager at Amelishan Bridal so as you can imagine everyone wanted to know one detail. What dress is she going to wear? Keeping this secret involved a late night shopping session, a seamstress working at home, and a dress hanging some where in a back room under a pseudo name. Best wishes to these two in their new lives together.
On a side note I need to shout out to fellow photographer's Amy and Chris McManigal who were guests at the wedding and lent me a cord when mine broke. Click their names to Check out their work.
Saturday I hung out with Juile, Greg, and three hundred of their closest friends. The two of them were married in West Bend and then it was off to the Milwaukee Athletic Club for dinner and dancing. We made one quick stop on the way at a near by park to take a few photos. I love the bright fall colors behind the wedding party. My hats off to Miss Ruby for helping them choose those great dresses.
I thought I would make one last post for Carolyn & Kyle now that their photos are online. Check out the rest of the photos HERE.
This past Tuesday I hung out with Carolyn & Kyle downtown for the Wisconsin half of their wedding. We stopped at a couple spots and then went down to the beach before heading to Swig for their reception. The beach was good but we found some great light downtown so I thought I would post those. I meet Carolyn for the first time a year ago at her brothers wedding and hope to see these two at a future wedding. Maybe in their home state of Montana.
I am a little behind on my blog posts. I just finished Katie and Ryan's engagement photos late last night. We had a great time hanging out by the beach in Hartland. My favorite shot is the one through the mirror in the popcorn stand.
I had a great time with Amanda & Jeremy in Chicago on Monday. We took a walk with their dog on the beach then took the train downtown for a drink. Yeah this is my job.
Last weekend my bother Jon got married. Thankfully he gave me the day off hiring some real professionals Sara & Steve Spottswood (link to wedding slideshow). I did bring my camera and shot a time lapse of the set up and take down. It was nice to be on the other side of the lens for a change. I got to spend the day with Alice and Jon and the rest of our newly joined families with a cocktail in my hand and not a camera. A cocktail I raised many times in toast of the new couple. "May they grow many leaves...and...Branches." Inside joke sorry.

For the last week I have been posting landscape photos from Alaska. Though I love the chance to spend some one on one time with my camera, it doesn't compare to the joy of connecting with my clients. It was a real treat to get to know Sharon & Dan and their blended family. The whole group was so kind to me and treated me like a member of the family. Because the cruise did not allow professional photographers to shoot weddings on board I took the name "Cousin Carl". It is a name that I took with pride. This weekend I will be shooting their Wisconsin reception so I thought it was time to post a slideshow images.

This is the last of my Alaska landscape posts, they are also some of my favorite images. For me these images are Alaska. All the lakes are replenished by melting glaciers witch makes for murky water but at low tide forms silt beaches. Water trickling down mountain sides creates amazing fractal patterns as they cut through the soft silt. Click the images to see them larger.
Just one photo today, but it's a good one. On the fifth day of the cruise we docked in Juno where my wedding was going to take place. In a few more days I will post the wedding photos, for me the best part of the trip was the night of the wedding. The ship had departed Juno and we were on the way to Hubbard Glacier. After loading all the wedding photos on my laptop I opened the bottle of wine in my room and went out on deck with my camera. I took a few photos and watched the lights of the fishing boats move along the water in the distance. Then it happened........ At first I did not know what the single strange light in the sky was. Then another green ripple emerged and another. I rushed to my camera and managed to get off three 30 second exposures before it faded away. I remember laughing while I was taking the photos. The northern light are usually a winter phenomenon so seeing them was so surprising. It's a glass of wine I will never forget.
Before my trip to Alaska I had the privilege of spending some time with friend and co-worker Liz Meyer and her soon to be husband Andrew. It was my first trip to the Meyer home, I thought my parents house was busy. Kids out back playing in the yard, a massive dinner being cooked, and some engagement photos being taken. I had something to do with the last one. The big day less than 2 months away........WHOOOOO! Lizzy is getting married!
Day four of my trip was the only wet dock of the voyage, you can see the ship drift in the time lapse. I went to shore with the couple and their family to check out the local park and town. We found all sorts of cool stuff on shore that I will post after in finish the landscape portion of my journey. Tomorrow will be a good one so keep watching.
