Sofía and Derric met up with me at the arboretum last Saturday, and we had so much fun! Prom has been happening for the past few weekends in the area, and it was a beautiful evening, so it was pretty packed when we started the session, but when we wandered a little further into the […]

I had a blast hanging out with Maria and Will this past Saturday down in Chicago! It’s always so much fun for me to go back down there for sessions and weddings every now and again. These two are getting married in Dubuque this coming September, but since they live in Chicago, it just made […]

I am so excited to share this session! Lindsey and I met online in the winter of 2015 when I was planning my first styled shoot in California! I was looking for a calligrapher, and we had a mutual friend that hooked us up (go check out Letters from Lindsey, she’s awesome!!). Shortly after that, […]

This past Sunday I made a trip to Milwaukee to hang out with Amanda and Kevin! I had so much fun exploring some new spots with these two! Any time I get to shoot somewhere new is always so exciting, so this post is a little long for an engagement session, but totally worth it, […]

I met up with Amanda and Tyler this past Saturday and had a blast walking out on Lake Monona, sliding around the ice rink in our boots behind the Olbrich Botanical Gardens, and finally warming up at One Barrel Brewing. For them, these locations really represent their relationship, spending a lot of time living in […]

Katie and Brandon are such a fun couple, I think I spent the majority of our time together laughing! These two will be getting married in their home state of Oregon this coming December, but are living in Madison now, so we took advantage of the snow to go along with their winter wedding theme […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
