Jim and Tiffany Joling...A Wedding.

What would you do if it were 80+ degrees outside, not a cloud in the sky, and the middle of September???....Get married of course! And that is exactly what Jim and Tiff did.

These two kids decided to tie the knot on September 20th, 2009. They were Married at Fireman's Memorial in Wisconsin Rapids. The reception would follow at the beautiful Hotel Mead.

The great thing about this couple, is they absolutely loved being in front of the camera! You'd think they had modeled before. We got plenty of outtakes from photos, because they were laughing so much!!

They are naturals in front of the camera , and they are truly in Love.

So. thank you Jim and Tiff for letting us take part in your special day! Hopefully you enjoy a few of the teaser shots.

Oh, and I decided to pick some of the not so obvious choices for photos! A little bit of a grab bag.

Black Tie Guys.

Emily & Andy a.k.a Adam 09-12-09 Madison Wedding

Our first wedding in Madison went off without a hitch. Beautiful weather, great locations, awesome couple... what more could we ask for!? Andy and Emily tied the knot in a great church full of stained glass windows and tons of natural light pouring in! There wasn't a dry eye in the house, including the bride and groom! From there we stopped off at a quaint little park just outside of downtown where Andy had proposed to Emily. You could see the playback of that day in their eyes as we walked around the park. It was awesome!

We finished the night at the reception site where Emily, after a few attempts, serenaded Andy with a song! ( She kept laughing about 2 lines in from nervousness! lol ) She did a great job and Andy was having a tough time keeping his composure while he watched his beautiful new wife sing him a song! All in all it was a great wedding and we are really glad we got to share those intimate moments with you guys! We wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavors!

With love....

The Beautiful & Talented Ms. Abby

What to say about Ms. Abby? I have known Abby for a while now and she is actually one of our assistants. Beautiful and an extremely talented bag carrying, light stand set er up er! :) We hit a few locations with Abby. For her shoot I really wanted to concentrate on her gorgeous blue eyes. While the photos turned out great, Abby is not one for being in front of the camera! You can't tell here though! So Abby, thanks for choosing Black Tie for your senior portraits! I would've hated firing you if you hadn't! :p

Presenting Ms. Abby.....

Nick & Tara Wedding 8-29-09

Nick and Tara tied the knot on a rainy August Saturday! While rain was in the forecast, the love these two have for each other made it feel like a warm summers day. Nothing was going to stop Nick from marrying the girl of his dreams! Not falling through a floor into a basement, not spraining his fingers, not even shattering some vertebra in a recent accident! So while Tara was busy finalizing the wedding plans, Nick was trying to reenact as many episodes of Tool Time as he could before the big day it seems. :P But regardless of it all, the day was beautiful, and the Black Tie Guys thank you for letting us share in the love you too have! So good luck, and Tara.. or should I call you Mrs. Taylor... please keep Nick away from power tools... at least until the life insurance policy clears.... :P

Much love from us to you.....

Amanda & Ryan E-Session 8-23-09

Amanda and Ryan are not your typical couple! Laid back and live for the moment seems more their style! They came all the way from Osalaska for their e-session! After numerous reschedules due to a number of things we finally hooked up, and I had a blast working with them! If their e-session was just a glimpse of what the wedding will be like, then I am REALLY looking forward to the big day! :) So here is your teaser guys! Hope you enjoy! :)

Carlos and Courtney - A Wedding

August 22nd, 2009.

The setting... The Beautiful Sentry World in Stevens Point, WI.

So, the Black Tie Guys got a little taste of these two on their engagement shoot a few months ago, and were expecting to have fun at this wedding... but we had NO IDEA what we were in for!

We did everything from racing golf carts, to break dancing, and everything in between! I don't think Sentry World knew what was in store for them either.

So, Carlos and Courtney, please tell your friends and family we had a great time and were honored to be a part of your big day!

Enough chit chat, enjoy the teasers...
