Laura & Mike

You may recognize this gorgeous couple from their engagment session I blogged earlier this summer... http://blog.angelicangles.com/2007/05/laura-mike.html If I have the option I always prefer to have done an engagement session prior to the wedding just to get a better feel for a couples personality. Now believe it or not, I don't always get to work with clients who love having their photograph taken... every now and then I get someone who's a bit camera shy. Mike was less then thrilled about a camera following him all day and I already knew this from our engagement session. Knowing this though, you can imagine my surprise when Mike and all the groomsmen decided to create their own pose for their group photo. I love this kind of surprise:) Once again Laura lit up every frame I shot... this girl can literally not take a bad photo, just stunning. What a beautiful couple. Thanks again you two for letting me be a part of your day. I had a blast!

Jennifer & Derek

First of all I have to say thank you to everyone who has sent their prayer and thoughts for my grandmothers' health. Thankfully she is home now from the hospital and doing much better. I'm hoping now things will calm down a bit and I can get back to blogging!

Up first is Jennifer & Derek.. my incredible patient and oh so sweet couple from back in September. What an incredible day! The skies were oh so blue. Derek and Jennifer opted to see each other before the ceremony which was great for me... we had so much more time for photos. Following the ceremony we stopped at University Ridge for a few more relaxed photos. What a view they have out there!

Genella & Eric

If I had to sum this wedding up in one word it would have to be glamorous! or fun, or incredible or okay... maybe I can't sum it up in just one word. What an amazing affair the wedding of Genella & Eric turned out to be! The coordinators at Top Shelf Weddings & Events really put together some beautiful details for this wedding and reception at the Overture Center. From the candle lit ceremony to the lighting design of the reception this wedding was definitely glamorous. I simply couldn't limit my sneak peek to only a handful of images... there were just too many to choose from.

Eric & Genella both currently live in Arizona so most all of the wedding party and guests traveled to Madison. This is what I love about my job.. I get to meet people from Mississippi, New Orleans, New York and on and on... What an amazing network of friends and family this couple has supporting them and their marriage! They are so truly blessed. Eric & Genella I hope you had a wonderful time in Jamaica and enjoy your sneak peek....

Meeting for the first time prior to the ceremony.... love their expressions!

This group could dance! Oh my gosh... I felt like I was shooting a music video most of the night rather then photographing a wedding:)

Megan & Rob

What a beautiful day for a wedding! Not too hot, not too cold.. just ideal weather. It was almost exactly one year ago now that I first met Megan & Rob. What a treat to see their wedding day had finally arrived. It was obvious from the beginning that Megan is a planner.. very organized and very much into details. So it should have come as no surprise that she would have not only a timeline for the day.. but a timeline spreadsheet that told everyone just where they needed to be and when. I love detailed planning, it makes everything go so much more smoothly! Unfortunately though, I think the groomsmen gave her more then her fair share of razing if we ever decided to deviate from the itinerary. In the end though everyone was to the church on time for a beautiful ceremony that ended with a Mr. & Mrs. To end things off perfectly the evening had a gorgeous full moon in the sky.... a perfect end to a delightful reception at the Monona Terrace.

Megan & Alberto

The following Friday I joined Megan & Alberto for what looked as though it was going to be a beautiful day. Unfortunately the clouds took a turn for the worse... and just as we finished the ceremony and were ready to outside for some photos. Luck was not on our side! Instead of fighting it, we went with it. I grabbed some umbrellas from my truck and we headed out on to the golf course. These turned out to be some of my favorites. Considering I heard more then one person humming a little "Singing in the Rain" I think they were having a good time too! Or perhaps that was just the Peruvian liquer we enjoyed as our wedding favor....

I just loved Megan's engagement ring.

Congratulations Arianne & Joe

Okay, I admit it... I am a blog slacker:( I'm so sorry for all those of you anxiously checking back for a sneak peek. I have been so busy with sessions lately and a couple of weekends with two wedding instead of the usual one that I've fallen a bit behind. So my apologies. I have to send out some love to all of my recent newlyweds. I've had some incredible weddings lately.. I only wish I could get caught up enough to share them all with you!

First up is Arianne & Joe. The weather did NOT cooperate for these two.... but it didn't change our plans one bit. Arianne was determined to get her outdoor pictures and that's just what we did. There were a lot of last minute umbrella removals but in the end their determination was so worth it. An absolutely gorgeous couple who had so much fun with their day. From the musical selections to the crowd of toddlers that led them down the aisle with their handmade batons, the weather was definitely not going to rain on this parade!

Madison Favorites!

Big News!!!! If you've followed my blog before then you already know about my incredibly talented husband. Well now it seems Madison is catching on as well. Recently the Isthmus published the results of their annual Madison Favorites poll. Aaron's band was awarded the # 2 spot on the BEST NEW BAND category. I am so excited for them! The whole group is so incredibly talented.... definitely worth a listen the next time you are out on the town. The band Aaron Williams & the Hoodoo will be playing a regular gig every other Tuesday at the Brink. If you've never been to the Brink you really need to check it out. This is a great bar for Martini's and music. I highly recommend the Mint Mocha... dangerously good. Aaron will be starting there next Tuesday September 4th.
