It’s been quite the year! I’ve photographed more weddings under Katie Ricard Photography this year than any year before, it was seriously amazing. I’ll save the best of weddings post though (hopefully I can get it out before the new year, but no promises… there are a lot of photos to go through for that […]

Danielle and Drew’s wedding day was full of special details, love, laughter, and family. I arrived at the church as Drew and his guys were walking over from his parents house. It was so fun to see them all walking down the street together in their suits. Once we got in the church, I found […]

I’ve known Stephanie since my freshman year of college, and she started dating Natalie when we all worked together at the Columbia College Chicago photo studio! It has been so fun to watch these two grow together as a couple. These two are the couple I’ve been friends with the longest (which is crazypants), and I […]

Liz and Josh were so much fun! They live in Texas together, but were in town for a wedding show, so we took advantage of their time here and met up downtown for some engagement photos. Liz grew up in Madison and went to UW, so having the wedding here (at The Madison Club!) means […]

When Erin and Eric started planning their November wedding, I don’t think they expected how lucky they’d turn out to be with the weather. It was sunny and 70… it was actually hot in the sun! It was perfect and these two didn’t stop smiling the entire day. From the first look to the last […]

These two are an extra special couple! We’ve been friends since they lived in Madison, but now they are all grown up and living in the big city! They are high school sweethearts, so they’ve been together probably almost as long as they’ve been apart hah! I’m also really excited because I’m not photographing their […]

Susan and Jeremy are high school sweethearts, so they’ve been together for a long time. They are so comfortable with each other, so it was a pleasure to photograph these two. They are down to earth and laid back. They love the outdoors, so they wanted to pick a location that reflected that. There are […]

Hillary and Steve were married on a beautifully sunny, fall day in Madison, Wisconsin. This fall has been full of some seriously perfect weather, and their wedding day was no exception. We started out at the hotel where everyone was getting ready, and Hillary was super calm. Everything had been running so smoothly that morning, […]

Courtney reached out to me via email about taking photos at a small airport in Wisconsin with her fiance, Kyle’s, family plane, and I was hooked right away. I knew this was going to be a fun session, but I really had no idea what I was walking into until I got there. I had […]

Sarah and Nick are such a great pair. They are laid back and so easy to just be around. They compliment each other perfectly. When I first met them, Sarah told me about how nervous she was to have her photo taken. Both she and Nick told me that she tends to get this really […]
