Jacki & Jake's Wedding ~ Osthoff Resort | Elkhart Lake Wedding Photographer

Jacki and Jake have quite the story... Jacki is from Wisconsin, Jake is from England, and they met in Japan while working for the Air Force! Their wedding was Jake's first time in Wisconsin, and he loved it. We'll invite him back in January and see if he likes our 20-below weather ;) Though our spring weather has definitely made up for it (they had a beautiful day for their wedding, too)! Anyhoo, one of the things that made their wedding unique was a saké toast they shared with their guests to give them a taste of Japan (there's a photo of one of the saké glasses in their collage below).

Here are some of our favorite photos from their outdoor ceremony and following reception at the Osthoff Resort. To see almost a dozen more, take a peek at our facebook album.

Congratulations, Jacki & Jake! We wish you all the love, luck and happiness :)

Laura & Eric's Wedding ~ Milwaukee County War Memorial | Milwaukee Wedding Photographer

Laura & Eric's wedding was just as much fun as their engagement session! They had beautiful weather for a winter day that accompanied their gorgeous church and lakefront reception perfectly! Here are some of our favorite photos from their day...

Laura started go get a bit nervous while the girls laced up her dress. I love how the photo below captures that excitement and nervousness! And if you scroll down a bit further, you'll see one of my favorite "getting ready" photos ever... "Star of the Week!" :)

For you photogs reading this, the shot below is SOOC, as are the photos of Laura putting her earrings on, the corsage, and the ceremony photo shot between the pillars. Gotta love it when that happens :)

A generous gust of wind had great timing, filling Laura's dress for the image below.

Love this photo of Eric spontaneously jumping with glee on our way back to the bus to join their wedding party!

Taylors opened their doors to host their guests between the ceremony and reception. Guests had a blast!

This is one of the best ideas we've seen for favors. In addition to donating to two different causes, Laura & Eric's aunts made a cookie bar for them! Behind each cookie platter were recipes that guests could take home with them. Unfortunately we forgot to grab a few at the end of the night :(

Congratulations, Laura & Eric! We loved photographing your day :)
Hope you had fun skiing on your honeymoon!

Hugs,
Miranda & Adam
