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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

I met up with Ashley and Lee for the first time last Sunday for some engagement photos at one of their favorite Madison spots, Olbrich Botanical Gardens! I love getting to shoot there, so when Ashley mentioned it as an option, I was all about it. I had only talked with Ashley via email, so […]
