Sam + Natalie's Engagement Session kicked off one of three sessions I photographed this past weekend-- and they made it the relaxing kind of start to the weekend that I had hoped for.

We didn't have to travel much farther than a few blocks from their new Milwaukee condo to find a couple great locations that we liked. How simple is that?? The afternoon sky was a bit dreary, but their emotion was quite the opposite. My fiancé, Elaina (Natalie's sister) helped out as assistant photographer for the session, so the session was essentially just the four of us hanging out in Downtown Milwaukee, enjoying ourselves as we strolled along.

The entire session was so simple and easy, yet it felt so Sam + Natalie-- no frills; just a good time about the town. I think I need to mention that the evening with these two concluded with a crazy good dinner at a new favorite Milwaukee restaurant.
