Welcome, Married In Milwaukee Friends!
My name is Sam, and I'm thrilled you're here. Really, I am. I love meeting people, asking questions and building relationships. As a bride who frequented Married In Milwaukee while planning my own wedding, it's so good to be amongst like-minded folks.
You should know... I REALLY love Milwaukee. Like, a weird amount. I love our communities, history, the culture our city holds, our midwestern kindness, long goodbyes and more. My husband once called me the Unofficial Milwaukee Ambassador. I'm so proud of our city and state, it's tattooed above my right elbow.
Anywho.... thanks for being here!

Let's Get the Ball Rolling
Planning
Wedding and Beyond
Let's start chatting. I love scheduling either a phone or video call with potential clients to meet for the first time! I want to hear from you, how you met, what you do for fun together, what weird quirks you love about one another, talk about how wedding planning is going. We will also answer any questions you have, talk about the details to your day, and get into the nitty gritty.
If after our conversation, you decide you're ready to jump in and do this thing, I will email you a contract and deposit invoice. I require a 25% deposit for all bookings, and offer payment plans for the remaining balance. Once the nitty gritty is done, we start planning your engagement session! This will be an hour long session, at a location of your choosing. We will spend the time getting to know one another even more, and capturing some great shots along the way!
After your engagement session, I'll check in with you and always be available to answer any questions you have. Should you do a first look? How should you organize your timeline for the day? What comes first, cake cutting or speeches? I'm here and happy to help answer all of those questions, and beyond.
The day is finally here, and I'm showing up with bells on! I can't wait to spend your wedding day with you. I like to think by this point, I'm watching friends get married. I'll cry with you as you read your vows and while you have your first dances, I'll shake out your dress so it flows and flatters, and help you bustle when the dancing begins, I'll make sure your tie is straight and you don't have anything in your teeth. It's your day, and I'm here to celebrate, enhance and capture everything that happens.
You'll get a sneak peek within 48 hours of your wedding, with 20 or more of my favorites from the day, perfect for those social media announcements and as a fun way to relive your memories. The full album is delivered in 8-10 weeks, and to say thank you, check your mailbox for a gift just a few weeks after that.
