The much-welcomed sunshine highlighted the historic 3rd Ward in Milwaukee Wisconsin – which made my heart (and this bride and groom) very happy. The rustic cream city brick architecture framed M+R’s jewel-tone details and color scheme.

Looking at these photos, you’d never guess that it was pretty chilly out! M+R are troopers because we did their engagement session in 13-degree weather last year! I love their commitment to good photos and a great time!!

Caleb and I truly love spending my weekends with people who are both in love and surrounded by a crazy amount of love! And, as a bonus, some of my very favorite industry vendors were in attendance, too. Events to a T did such an amazing day, keeping the wedding day smooth and stress-free! And, as always, I love photographing weddings at Black Swan!

The details Melissa selected were BEAUTIFUL! The florals by Milwaukee Flower Co. and rentals by Chance Productions elevated the Black Swan venue space perfectly!

Cheers to you, Melissa + Riely! Even in cold weather – you two are in this wild (and sometimes freezing cold) ride together and I couldn’t be happier for you!!! May you always be as happy as you were when you first said, “I do.”
