Ben and Stephanie were so sweet on their wedding day, getting ready one floor apart, I don’t think any snag in the details could have effected their smiles. They were truly focused on what was important: today, finally, they’d be married! Ben cracked me up, he was SO excited to see his bride and be a husband. 🙂 With tears in their eyes they vowed to spend a lifetime together, as friends, lovers, parents, partners in Christ.
It was an honor photographing the Geske and Ihlen families, who watched Ben and Steph realize they’re soul-mates and have supported their journey to this day. Steph and Ben are both the baby of the family; there were more than a few sweet sibling moments at this wedding! Side note, the Ihlens definitely know how to light up the dance floor!
Stephanie, you looked absolutely beautiful in white. I’m so glad you asked me to be part of your wedding, and that the rain held off for outdoor pictures. I hope your honeymoon was an amazing, relaxing week to catch your breath (and get some sun!) as a couple. Enjoy this sneak peek – Congratulations!

Grace Church Downtown is my home church and a gorgeous, historical place for weddings.
South Shore Pavillion is right on Lake Michigan. It’s not only a beautiful unique venue for receptions, but convenient for lake front photos and one great view of sunset over the Milwaukee skyline.
The shoe game filled the guests in on a little of the couple’s history at camp and made for lots of laughs:
