Cass & Mike | Milwaukee Wedding Photographer

Cass and Mike met as students at Marquette University many years ago. It was during a logic class that Mike noticed Cass sitting just a few seats away from him. After some time they finally realized they had a lot more in common than they thought and a courtship began. Cass eventually moved out of state for a job in DC, but somehow along the journey her heart led her back to the midwest and back by Mike’s side. Their journey together, already several years in the making, officially began as husband and wife when the two celebrated their union in a classic-meets-modern event perfectly suited to their personalities. Cass and Mike tied the knot at Old St. Mary’s Church on the east side. A quick stop at Lake Park for some spring-y portraits followed with a casual, yet elegant reception at the Milwaukee Public Market. It was an amazing day for these two! Congrats again! Thank you for letting me document your big day!

Special thanks to my second shooter, Sarah Immel!

Cass and Mike got ready at the Pfister, such a lovely hotel with gorgeous rooms!

So the bus broke down in front of the Pfister and we were momentarily stranded. The Yankees were staying at the Pfister, so naturally there were lots of police officers around. A kind officer offered to drive the bride to the church! We got there just in time! MPD to the rescue 🙂

Leave them some blog love! That’s a comment 🙂 wink, wink 🙂

Robert Wood - Awesome three days of fun and wedding bliss! The ride over in the cop car was the icing on the cake. I should have told him to turn on his lights and siren, duh!

David & Debbie Rodawalt - Lisa…You have captured Cass and Mike so beautifully in these photographs. My closest and dearest cousin, Rob called me to share your wedding experience and “WOW!” what a handsome picture of him he sent us from the Phister Hotel, taken by the father of the bride, Dan Koehler. We laughed so hard when he told us of the ride in the police car! May your life together be filled with as much fun and happiness as we have been blessed. Many happy returns of each day of your life together! Our home in Florida is always open to you and of course our boat as long as you’re a better driver than me! If Rob loves you, we love you.

Mrs. Miles Davis - Dearest Casssandra and Michael ~ My brother dear, Robert Wood, shared with me your three day wedding bliss from beginning to end! We go back well over half my lifetime. Trust me, I know what the backseat of a police car is like when they drove me home out of politness after a crazed night with Miles. Your wedding sounded absolutely gorgeous and knowing your Dad via Rob, I feel you and Mike have the same strong commitment they share. I hope your Paris honeymoon was fantastic! I remember my first time to Paris when I danced with the Paris Opera Ballet and was dubbed the “Leslie Caron of the Tropics.” the next morning by Paris Match and the Paris News. Rob escourted me to many Josephine Baker opening nights and she always sang of love, which is what I am sending you.
Mon Amour, Frances Elizabeth Taylor Davis
