Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
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! 🙂
xoxo, M
