Emily & Erik | Third Ward Engagement Photos | Milwaukee Photographer

Sometimes we find love in the strangest of places and sometimes we find it when we didn't even know we were looking for it...and its right there, staring us in the face.  For Emily and Erik, who have known each other since they were kids, it was just that. They met when they were young at a family gathering and are not even sure exactly when they met. They've seen pictures that they are both in and don't even remember being in the same place at the same time. But one day, love came along and just knocked them off their feet. Their love story began when Emily said yes to going out with Erik one night.  Then one night soon became another and another and most recently, Emily said yes to becoming his wife. Now Emily and Erik are planning a backyard wedding at his parent's home but for their engagement session we settled on a more urban locale, the Historic Third Ward. As we meandered up and down the streets and alleyways, the weather was perfect, the sunlight was magical and the story of their love unfolded before me.
