Melissa & James' Engagement Session ~ East Side / Downtown Milwaukee

We had so much fun photographing Melissa and James’ engagement session! They’re such an adorable couple with a great sense of humor! We started off at Milwaukee bar BBC where they have years of memories together and then wandered around the East Side and RiverWalk. Here are some of our favorite photos from their session...



















James wanted to do a photo where he was a lion super hero (or something like that... it evolved) and Melissa was scared... lol! Melissa questioningly obliged. We then decided that their wedding should be safari themed and thought of all the tacky ways we could make that possible :)



After lion and safari talking, we headed over to The Oriental Theater... and what do you know?! More lions! I think it’s a sign, Melissa ;) For the photogs reading this, the Oriental didn’t let us use flash because there were movies playing... gotta love the Nikon D700! Cranked that puppy up to ISO 4000 with virtually no grain (the two shots below)!









Ok, you can’t pass a giant engagement ring sculpture on an engagement shoot and NOT take a photo with it!







Thanks, guys, for an awesome shoot! It was nice seeing you at Ali and Tim’s wedding, and we can’t wait for yours, too! :)
