capturing joy

twenty nineteen

SINCE —

We are husband and wife, best friends, and the duo behind the lens capturing your joy in all of life’s most special moments. Our photography journey began when Beau convinced Annalise to be a husband and wife wedding photography team. She thought he was crazy at first (and even made fun of him a little, tbh!), but after assisting him on a few shoots and mentoring with our own wedding photographer, she was hooked! We have enjoyed capturing the joy of couples and families together ever since. When we’re not shooting weddings or portrait sessions, you can probably find us trying a fun, new taco recipe or snuggling on the couch watching a Rom-Com with our goldendoodle, Bailey!

We're Annalise
and Beau!

hi there!

We got married on July 17th, 2016, the day after Beau’s birthday (Beau’s favorite birthday present ever!). It was the most beautiful celebration with all of our loved ones and we will treasure the memories we have in our photos forever :)

Best Day Ever

04

It was December of our senior year of college and Beau bought tickets for us to see the Lion King on Broadway for Christmas. We got all dressed up and went to the theater only to discover that Beau “accidentally” bought tickets for the wrong date (he’s so sneaky!). Then a horse-drawn carriage appeared and Beau insisted we enjoy a ride through the Christmassy city instead. The carriage brought us to a spot in Millennium Park where we could see the whole skyline. It was there that he got down on one knee and asked Annalise to marry him! 

She Said Yes!

That date turned into a summer-long romance that assured Annalise that this wasn’t just a fling. She left for college in Chicago where Beau followed her after a year of dating long-distance. Then we enjoyed 3 years there together eating deep dish pizza, ice skating downtown, and braving the sub zero temperatures. 

Chicago Love

02

It was love at first sight...kind of? Annalise fell for Beau the second she saw him across the lawn at summer camp. But her crush quickly ended when he forgot her name days later (*eye roll*). Then a few years later, Beau realized his feelings for her and convinced her to go on a date with him. (photo is from our first summer dating in 2012!)

happy place

We remember looking through our parents’ wedding albums when we were little, giggling at their 80’s hair and styles, and marveling at their youthful joy. We will forever treasure having those tangible memories of them. Fashion trends and hairstyles come and go, but something that will never go out of style is your joy on your wedding day! That’s why it’s our goal to capture you and how you feel in the most beautiful and authentic way we can. We can’t wait to capture your joy!
