Kate & Rich - Milwaukee, Wisconsin
November 2, 2009Engagements

If you've never seen an October sunrise along Lake Michigan in Milwaukee, sit up an take notice. The light is simply glorious, and Lake Michigan rarely looks better. I was absolutely tickled when Kate suggested an early morning engagement shoot; as I never thought anyone in their right mind would wake up at 5:30 am to beautify so they could meet me prior to sunrise. God Bless Kate and Rich for possessing such fortitude.

Now on to my plight. Prior to this engagement shoot I spent the entire day in Chicago shooting an amazing Wedding. I didn't get home until after midnight, and I didn't get to sleep until 2:00 am. I managed to pull myself out of bed by 5:30 am, was on the road by 6:05 am, and on location by 6:25 am. Oh yes! It was cold. REALLY cold. And even more so the closer you were to the water.

BUT! OHHHHH was it worth it; the light, the sky, the fall colors, then add a beautiful couple — it's truly a photographer's dream. THIS is yet another example of why I love what I do. I love to be different, do things no other wedding photographers in Milwaukee would ever WANT to do, and do it on 3 hours of sleep. ....I'm still shocked at how incredible Kate and Rich look at 6:30 am. Me? Yeah! I'm thankful I wasn't in the photos. LOL

Much love, many blessings, and MANY MANY MANY thanks for this awesome experience.
