Carley & Sidney | Mountain Engagement
North Central Wisconsin Senior & Portrait Photographers James & Katie Stokes Located in Medford, Wisconsin // Engagement Rings
We love engagement sessions. They give us an opportunity to be free from the stress of the wedding day and we give our couples permission to be themselves, to let go, and have fun.
Engagement photos should speak to the true nature of two people who are madly in love; the way your bodies speak to one another tells its own story in conjunction with the journey that placed you in front of our cameras. The way you move, smile, laugh, hug, kiss, hold hands – is all unique to your relationship. We all have quirks and sometimes strange ways we interact with those who truly see us for who we are, accepting our flaws and embracing our imperfection. We don’t need to understand every ounce of beauty that exists between two people to be able to be able to capture it; we only need to be able to recognize it.
Natural. Unprovoked. While easier stated than done, it is our approach. By creating a scenario and placing you in it, we encourage you to make mistakes and embrace them. None of us is perfect and we don’t want you to be. Be true. Be kind. And be in love. The rest you can leave to us.
We traveled far and wide this past year capturing couples & their remarkable engagement rings from across Wisconsin with Chicago & Madison being among our favorite destinations. The Wisconsin Northwoods may be our home, but we sure do love to roam. Yep, we’re dorks who love to travel and take pictures. We can’t wait to begin capturing your love story in the months to come!
