Audry & Roger’s winter Barkhausen Engagement Session almost had no snow at all. Who would have thought in the middle of February that we wouldn’t have snow in Wisconsin. We laugh now that it’s been a few weeks later and they received snow in Tennessee where they live. What is this world now? With the […]

Two weeks ago, we traveled to Door County for Jennifer & Erik’s Cave Point Engagement Session. After seeing Amanda and Ansel’s session on our blog, they decided Door County was the ideal setting for their session. It worked perfectly that they came into town from Minnesota to visit with Erik’s family the same weekend. You’ll […]

Matt & Zach enjoyed an evening stroll through Doty Park while sipping wine and reminiscing Paris, during their Neenah Engagement Session.

Chris & Brittyni De Pere, Wisconsin Chris & Brittyni wanted a natural setting for their romantic De Pere engagement complete with pup & picnic. I believe the lake and preserve like features on the outskirts of town highlighted this sweet couple. It really brought on a sense of intimacy that only nature can provide. When […]

“I will never forget our fifth date, when we met each other’s parents and Phillip took me to his family dairy farm for the first time. He showed me all around the farm and let me fulfill my dream of hand milking a cow! “Still convinced she just kept going on dates with me to get closer to the cows lol,” says Phillip.

When Amanda contacted me, she had seen a photo of Cave Point online and although from Texas she was coming all the way to Door County, Wisconsin to work for a few months and had her heart set on having her & Ansel’s Engagement Session on the bluffs along the lakeshore over the sparkling emerald Lake Michigan waters.

After spending the first half of the day chasing waterfalls, we set off in hopes to view the highest point of the Porkies at Summit Peak. We didn’t spend very long there before we were off in search of good food and then Troy suggested finding a beach to watch the sunset enjoying each others company while the tide came in for the evening. 

Erin and Casey love the outdoors and spending time together. They are hikers who enjoy camping. Catching snowboarding runs in the Winter. And like true Wisconsinites they love their Packers Football and beer. Casey is goofball and keeps Erin laugh constantly. 

This stunning venue is AJ’s families farm. Her parents were sweet enough to allow The Rising Tide to have our styled shoot at their home and have use of their property.

It was such a pleasure getting to know this couple. Two of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. Clearly made for each other, these two kind hearts made each other smile constantly. We actually did this engagement session the evening before their Wedding. Such a fun way to spend the big night before, relaxing and loving on each other before the big day. Eric and Kate were obviously not nervous at all, we just walked around Soulard snapping photos before heading over to their Rehearsal at The 9th Street Abbey.
