Engagement

Engagement Photography | Kourtney + Jesse | Lakeshore State Park - Downtown Milwaukee by Emily Hilleshiem

I have enjoyed every little conversation that I've had with Kourtney. The girl is funny, completely real and down to earth! Bring Jesse into the equation and you have a great match. Going into their session knowing a little about each of them as individuals, made learning their whole story as a couple all the more wonderful!

In between soaking up pieces of their love story thus far, we took some pictures. (And I played with some sun flares. hehe) These two are all about the fun! Capturing Jesse's excited expressions when I asked them to kiss never got old! Plus when you meet on the dance floor you absolutely have to throw a few moves into your engagement photos. 

I'm eagerly looking forward to their wedding next July. It is sure to be one great party!

Meet Kourtney + Jesse!

Engagement Photography | Grant + Stephanie | Lakeshore State Park - Downtown Milwaukee by Emily Hilleshiem

The lakefront holds special meaning for Grant + Stephanie; since it was the location of their first date in Milwaukee. I really enjoyed getting to know a little bit about them and their relationship which blossomed when they met at college. It didn't take long to realize why they clicked so well. They can't help but smile and laugh in the other's presence. And they are so at ease with with one another. It was just second nature for them to give one another quick pecks on the cheek and to snuggle up nice and close. For those reasons, I was "ooo'ing and aw'ing" behind the camera throughout their entire session! These two simply love to love each other. 

So without further ado, meet Grant + Stephanie!

Engagement Photography | Kyle + Kim | Downtown Delafield by Emily Hilleshiem

My heart is so full looking back at these images!

You guys, I have known this gal since before we went to preschool together! I remember playing together on the school playground many a times. It was such a special day when she asked me to be her wedding photographer. My heart just about burst with excitement! I felt truly honored that she asked me to be part of her special day.

Fast forward to their engagement pictures. It was a chilly November day, but that did not keep these two from smiling. There weren’t many moments where Kim wasn’t grinning ear to ear which made me sooo happy! I’m so glad she has found such a great guy in Kyle. He is an incredibly caring guy, but also isn’t afraid to show his true affection by pretending to throw her off the bridge at the end of the session. These two are perfect together! They balance each other very well.

I’m eagerly looking forward to their wedding next October. It is going to be stunning! Gotta love Wisconsin weddings in October! It doesn’t get much better than that!

Enjoy!

Meet Kim + Kyle!
