Kathy + Mike

Before we head out the door to be with family for a few days over Thanksgiving I wanted to post Kathy and Mike’s beautiful wedding. Each time I look at these pictures I fall more in love with every detail. We knew from their engagement session that working with these two was going to be an absolute joy on their wedding day. We had a wonderful time. A big thank you to Anne Marie and Mark for sending Kathy and Mike our way! We wish all of you a happy Thanksgiving and that no matter where you are and who you’re with you have many things to be grateful for this week. : )

Rachel + Carlos | Lake Park Bistro Wedding

Stevi Savage — Mon, 21 Mar 2011 04:33:24 +0000

As Spring is now officially on us and I am anxiously awaiting the warmer days that Summer will bring, I thought I would post this sweet July wedding from last year. Lake Park Bistro in Milwaukee is a perfect place for planning a relaxed, yet classy event. Rachel and Carlos were full of joy and excitement as they said I Do to one another and the day couldn’t have been more beautiful.

There was nothing but sunshine, laughter and some of the most lovely little details I had ever seen. After their morning ceremony, guests were treated to a delicious lunch hosted by the Bistro. We then headed out to Milwaukee’s downtown for an adventure with the entire wedding party. Looking through the photos from this wedding make me so excited for wedding season to start picking up here in the Midwest. I feel so thankful that we get to work with such charming couples. We truly love what we do.

These past few weeks have been busy, busy with lots of album design, client consults and preparations for the upcoming season. We have almost a completely booked year with only a few dates left for 2011. We are well into booking for 2012 so be sure to get in touch soon if you are interested in booking Avery House as your photographer. We would love to meet you. : )

Liz + Michael | Engagement Session | Stillwater, OK

Stevi Savage — Wed, 20 Oct 2010 14:30:00 +0000

It seemed appropriate to post this engagement shoot of Liz and Michael since I just posted their wedding last week. We were excited to have a little extra time when we arrived in Stillwater on the day before their wedding to grab these shots. They were all taken within steps of where their ceremony and reception were held. I am loving Liz’s dress from Anthropologie and don’t think anyone could make a cuter couple than these two!

Mike and Elizabeth | The Danada House | Chicago Wedding Photography

Stevi Savage — Fri, 11 Dec 2009 14:21:57 +0000

If you had the chance to spend a little time with Mike and Elizabeth, you would know that they are passionate about music and passionate about teaching and helping others. They are such a perfect pair and we loved them for letting us be creative with their wedding. When we found out how classy and victorian their wedding theme was, we knew that parasols would be a great addition to all of their beautiful details. I love that we are just a hop, skip and a jump from Chinatown where they sell them by the dozens for only a few nickels. Mike and Elizabeth had their wedding at The Danada House which is a gorgeous property just west of Chicago and a perfect place for a wedding. Built in 1939 and with a whopping total of 19 rooms, the Danada House was the home farm to the 1965 Kentucky Derby winner, Lucky Debonaire. I can imagine that if I was a horse, this would be the place I would want to call home too.

As you can see, Elizabeth is just about as sweet and elegant as they come. I think the Danada House was the perfect location for the style and vision that she had always dreamt her wedding to be. We wish all the best to this awesome couple!

On another note, Matt and I returned from our trip to India last week and are working hard to get all of our images processed. We can’t wait to share a few of the stories and slideshows with you. We leave this coming week and will be out of the office for 5 weeks straight traveling to Amarillo, Birmingham, Dallas, Nashville, Knoxville, Tuscaloosa and my hometown of Marion, VA. Hopefully we will see some of you along the way!
