Shannon & Mike's Wedding

2010-10-10T21:05:00.000-07:00

It was a perfect day for Shannon & Mike's wedding. Their friends and family gathered for an outside ceremony at Capital Brewery. The setting was beautiful with the blue canopy, white chairs and Wisconsin's fall colors in full display. Oh, and it was 80 degrees! Thank you Shannon & Mike for allowing Caitlin and I to be part of your special day.

Firenze (Florence, Italy)

Firenze, located in the Tuscany region of Italy, is considered to be one of the most beautiful city in the world. It is rich in art and architecture and is the birthplace or chosen home of many notable historical figures, such as Dante, Boccaccio, Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, Michelangelo and Donatello.

The Mount Horeb Wednesday Night Live concert series ended the 2010 season with a bang when Willy Porter performed for a huge crowd under the stars at Grundahl Park. His music is well known to folks my age but he's working on a whole new generation of fans.

Shannon + Mike: Engagement Session

2010-04-10T15:41:00.000-07:00

I met Shannon and Mike at a park early on Saturday for their engagement photo shoot. Their dog Denali came along and even posed for some of the shots. What a well behaved puppy! It was a beautiful morning and the park is just starting to "green up". This is the same park where photos will be taken of the bride & groom and their wedding party in October. The fall colors will be fabulous!! Shannon and Mike were a lot of fun to work with and I know their wedding is going to be a great party.

Winter in Wisconsin can be really beautiful if you venture from the warmth of the fire at home.

I was visiting the new modern art wing of the Art Institute and was drawn to this woman reading her brochure. She could have been an exhibit. It was as though she was frozen in time . . . now she is!

Staci & Chris came to the studio and viewed the slide show of their wedding day. Staci's mom and dad came along and a few tissues were moistened. They loved the pictures. All of the photos can be seen at www.photos.jefko.com.

Staci & Christopher's Wedding

2009-07-26T19:35:00.000-07:00

July 25th, 2009 - The morning paper said it would be cloudy with thunderstorms most of the day but the rain stayed away long enough for a beautiful ceremony, a butterfly release and a chance to get some great pictures before the sky opened up with showers. Staci, Chris and the wedding party took shelter in a gazebo to wait for a brief cloud burst to pass. It was the perfect day for a wedding.

Amanda & Jason's Wedding

2009-07-19T09:21:00.000-07:00

July 18, 2009 - It was a beautiful day for a July wedding. The temperature was around 70 degrees and a little overcast which was perfect for outdoor photos. It started to drizzle which cut our outdoor shooting short, but everyone in the wedding party was a real trooper and "braved the elements". That sounds weird for mid-July doesn't it?

Congratulations Amanda & Jason. I had so much fun spending the day with you and your family. Thanks for allowing me to be part of your special day. See more at www.photos.jefko.com
