Because I could see all of these things in Amy and Justin when they said "I Do"... I'll let Mr. Marley take it from here... 

“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you. When something wonderful happens, you can’t wait to tell them about it, knowing they will share in your excitement. They are not embarrassed to cry with you when you are hurting or laugh with you when you make a fool of yourself. Never do they hurt your feelings or make you feel like you are not good enough, but rather they build you up and show you the things about yourself that make you special and even beautiful. There is never any pressure, jealousy or competition but only a quiet calmness when they are around. You can be yourself and not worry about what they will think of you because they love you for who you are. The things that seem insignificant to most people such as a note, song or walk become invaluable treasures kept safe in your heart to cherish forever. Memories of your childhood come back and are so clear and vivid it’s like being young again. Colours seem brighter and more brilliant. Laughter seems part of daily life where before it was infrequent or didn’t exist at all. A phone call or two during the day helps to get you through a long day’s work and always brings a smile to your face. In their presence, there’s no need for continuous conversation, but you find you’re quite content in just having them nearby. Things that never interested you before become fascinating because you know they are important to this person who is so special to you. You think of this person on every occasion and in everything you do. Simple things bring them to mind like a pale blue sky, gentle wind or even a storm cloud on the horizon. You open your heart knowing that there’s a chance it may be broken one day and in opening your heart, you experience a love and joy that you never dreamed possible. You find that being vulnerable is the only way to allow your heart to feel true pleasure that’s so real it scares you. You find strength in knowing you have a true friend and possibly a soul mate who will remain loyal to the end. Life seems completely different, exciting and worthwhile. Your only hope and security is in knowing that they are a part of your life.”

Congratulations Justin and Amy! 

An outdoor engagement session... in February... in Wisconsin?! 

Yes we did! We completly lucked out on weather for this session! Although we hadn't had much snow this year, the skies opened up for us creating a beautiful winter wonderland...and the temperature wasn't too God awful either! 

Brittany and Zach, as you can see, are adorable! These two went to high school together and eventually started dating, which led up to their engagement 5 years later!

It's easy to see how they fell for one another, both layed back with a great sense of humor and love. 
As Zach put it during their session "He's just a happy guy"!  And that he is, with Brittany by his side.

And then there is Duke... Duke is Zach and Brittany's fur child, and he definetly brought an element of entertainment to the session! For not liking running very much, I am certain he slept well when they got home. I am just glad he decided he'd take a few nice pictures!! 

Zach and Brittany are tying the knot on New Years Eve of 2015, so, we had to add a few celebratory photo's in during their session! I am so excited for this couple to exchange vows and I am positive it will be a celebration that will go down in the history books of many!  Congratulations Zach and Brittany! 

I met Jessi and her sister, Amy, in the early autumn of 2014. Both sisters had wedding dates set in 2015 and they were looking for a photographer to capture both days. When we met, there was instant chemistry. conversation flowed, not only about their wedding days, but about other aspects of life! Three hours of great conversation later, I left their parents home feeling as if I had known their family forever! 

In November, I met Jessi's other half, Cody. What a match made in heaven. Everything about this couple is cute. Their affection for one another, the little jokes and laughter... The way Cody looks so lovingly at his soon to be bride. They are one of those couples you look at and think: " yup, you guys have it." 

We ventured out that day to shoot their engagement session... little did we know that they day we shot their engagement session in November would actually be about 30 degrees colder than what their wedding day in January is forcasted to be!!!! But they stuck it out and were so amazing! 

Here are some shots from their engagement session.. Tomorrow, January 24th, these two tie the knot! Congratulations Jessi and Cody!
