Shannon + Mike: Engagement Session

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

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.
