Deb and Markus were married on a gorgeous August day in downtown San Diego.  The ceremony and reception were at the awesome New Children’s Museum and they did great incorporating their theme with the location!

I love this angle of their First Look that Emily captured.

We snuck over to Embarcadero Park for some more portraits

Isn’t their son Lukas adorable??

I love that the museum provides a chalk artist to write whatever the couple wants!

After a yummy dinner by Peartrees Catering, the dance floor got packed (thanks to Primo DJ)!

If you are looking for a fun/funky new place for a wedding, I highly recommend the New Children’s Museum!

Erin and Jerry’s wedding was my second wedding of that weekend…in a completely different state!  I flew out after my Saturday morning wedding and arrived in Milwaukee the night before the wedding.  It was a beautiful, but overcast day in the Midwest.  The wedding was at the War Memorial Center in downtown Milwaukee.  Erin and Jerry both live in Chicago, but have family in Wisconsin.

Erin could not stop smiling ALL day!  Remember from their engagement session?

They had such an energetic and fun first dance!

Jerry and his family are from Cameroon so there was plenty of traditional dancing the entire night!!

I’m so happy for you two, so glad you found each other – and stayed in touch! 🙂

Big thanks to my awesome 2nd shooter, Monica Z for driving up for the wedding!! <3

I met Jesper years ago when he was living as an exchange student with my Aunt & Uncle and their family.  It was a fun wedding for me because 4 of my cousins were groomsmen in the wedding!  I love working and hanging out with family at the same time! 🙂

My first time meeting Amy was at their engagement session in the Spring. She has such a calm sweet demeanor, I knew they were perfect for each other!

I may be a little biased but my cousin Paul is one heck of a guitar player! <3

As Amy and Jesper had their first kiss as husband and wife, the groomsmen yelled out “GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAALLLLLL” It was quite funny! (You can see them plotting below)

We only had a few minutes for portraits around Lake San Marcos so we made the best of our time.

Love the Danish details to honor Jesper’s home!

Emotional speeches!

I hope Denmark is treating you two well!  Thank you so much for allowing me to be part of your day!

After 3 weeks away traveling for 3 weddings out of state (and one out of country) I am back in my own bed tonight. I have a ton to catch up on so I appreciate your patience!

Hope this photo of Mandi and me makes you smile!  It was taken on the first night of the cruise, where we shot Shawna and Jason’s amazing underwater trash the dress and wedding at the Atlantis Resort!

I love repeat clients!  The kiddos have grown up so much since last year!

Addison and Elly are so adorable!
