At the end of the evening, as I was walking out of J+B’s wedding, I had a greater acknowledgement for life and those we get to experience it with. Jeska and Brent’s wedding day was marvelous.

The historic Turner Hall ballroom venue, the chilly April Milwaukee wind, and their incredible family & friends who gathered from near and far, all made their day wonderful. Their entire day was tightly packed with anticipation, beauty, crazy dance moves, and endless laughter.

I had a blast on the trolley; cruising around Walker’s Point and the Third Ward for portraits and celebrating with them at the Turner Hall Ballroom.

I am so blessed to have met Jeska + Brent. I am so blessed to have been invited into their lives to capture their story. I am so blessed to have made two very special friends.

Thank you SO much for choosing me as your photographer. You both were truly amazing to work with and your love has been so sweet to observe, since the day I met you. XO



Jeska made me tear up when she spoke her vows to Brent.

“. . . I promise to kiss you at every stop light. I promise to be your biggest fan and number one cheerleader. I promise to let you watch every packer game possible as long as I don’t have to wear Packer gear. I promise to always hold your hand. I promise to be your best friend. I promise to never cheer for the Bears. I promise to let you have the last bite of my food. I promise to let you lay on me when we sleep no matter how uncomfortable I am. . . . I’m so happy you found me 3 and a half years ago; I loved you then but probably never deserved you. ” – Jeska
