Fall Wisconsin Engagement at Bridle Barn and Gardens – Alex & John
Last month I had the pleasure of traveling to my home state for Alex and John’s fall Wisconsin engagement session! Besides getting to meet these two in person, I was extra excited to check out Bridle Barn & Gardens. The Bridle Barn has been in Alex’s family for decades, and just so happens to be a stunning Wisconsin wedding venue! John and Alex were in town from Washington D.C. for the weekend, and I’m so happy we were able to meet up for this session 🙂
I met these two on the property just after sunrise on a Monday. They offered me coffee and a quick tour of the space: venue, gardens, cornfields, and all! We played in the morning light and got to see the fall colors just starting to change. Alex and John even cracked open our favorite New Glarus beer to celebrate!
Alex and John: Thank you again for having me, and for showing me around the Bridle Barn! Already getting excited for your Chicago wedding day next year!!

I’m Emma (She/Her): Beer nerd, cat-whisperer, Schitt’s Creek-obsessed, Chicago wedding photographer. I’ve been helping couples relive their wedding memories since 2014.
Originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, I currently reside in Chicago with my designer-turned-handyman spouse and our two spunky felines. When I’m not photographing couples in love, I’m either hanging with these three or (dreaming about) traveling someplace new!
A Few of My Favorite Things:
Black coffee
Buttercream frosting
Road trips
Watching the sun rise
Pretending I sound like Mariah Carey
Belgian beer
The Green Bay Packers
My little fam (Jeremy, Rex and Miike)
Halloween (the holiday – not the movie. Okay, the movie’s pretty good too.)
About You
You want stunning, natural wedding photos that look like YOU. You don’t want to feel stiff or look too “posed.” And most importantly, you want to ENJOY your wedding day while we capture all the good stuff!
Whether you thrive in the spotlight or cringe at the thought of being photographed, we are there to capture your memories. And let’s be honest: your wedding is going to be AWESOME. No matter what goes according to plan or how many things surprise you, at the end of the day you’ll be married to Your Person. And, spoiler alert: that’s what this is all about!
My Approach
My relaxed, documentary approach allows couples to feel totally comfortable in front of the camera (it’s the number one thing mentioned in my Reviews!). Expect a mix of candid moments and contemporary portraiture, with the occasional embarrassing (aka HILARIOUS) dance floor photo. I will be your hype girl during portrait time (seriously!). We’ll get to know each other throughout the process, and it doesn’t stop on wedding day. I want to show up with hugs and handshakes – not as just another vendor.
