The scruffy paws, under-bites, and floppy ears of Wisconsin's best pups
In our eyes, it's always year of the dog and 2020 was no exception. From tiny floofs to corgi butts, so many silly, flirty, sweet pups have stood in front of our cameras with their owners. We might be Wisconsin wedding photographers, but if you called us Wisconsin pup photographers, we wouldn't mind one bit;) Ready for your daily dose of serotonin? Scroll on!
1. Meet Grizzly
Grizzly and his wiggly little corgi butt was part of his parents vintage inspired micro wedding in Brookfield, WI. With the hustle and bustle of the day, Grizzly visited each guest for a lick and a pet as everyone prepped for Lauren & Bobby's wedding.
Was the official ring bearer at his parents and delivered each ring safely and happily.
When he was first picked up by Bobby as puppy, he was happily chewing on a mop, alone in the corner.
Very well - traveled! He's been on THREE cross-country roach trips.
2. Meet Juneau
Juneau has been a part of our lives since he was just a little pup pup. When his owners drove out from Colorado to Lexi's home state of Wisconsin, PJ took the opportunity to propose!!! And Juneau was right there for it all. And when the time came for engagement photos, Juneau was VERY excited to visit South Shore Parlor for ice cream and play in the waves of Lake Michigan at Kohler-Andrea State Park.
Named after his mom's favorite place in the world (and where we became close friends with her- Juneau, AK.)
Has a sock obsession.
Is actually golden-doodle (surprise!)
3. Meet Ginger
Sweet Ginger was a little unsure of the big camera in front of my face. After a but of coxing and a walk through a Christmas Tree Farm, she was ready for the lime light.
Ginger is dainty in everything she does- walking, eating, resting - so her name not only refers to the color of her coat, but also to her personality!
One of her favorite spots is to be perched on the top of the couch (like a cat).
She's a true Wisconsin gal- meat and cheese are her favorite human foods!
4. Meet Abby & Oakley
The sweetest little black bears you'll ever meet. Old lady Abby and her pretty white face, and her little brother Oakley were the witnesses to their parents first look in their Wisconsin backyard micro-wedding.
Oakley needs to have a paw on you at all times- literally.
Abby had a fox friend growing up that she would play with in the woods every morning.
Abby & Oakley refused to be separated from one another. Where one goes, the other one has to follow. Even to one another's vet appointments.
5. Meet Remy
Remy the Brittany Spaniel LOVES his parents. The time he spent with them during their Iverson park engagement session was arguably the highlight of his weekend.
Major fan of sprawling out, belly down, and army crawling along the snowbanks.
Very proud of his "my parents are getting married" handkerchief.
Obsessed with his bacon wrapped treats.
6. Meet Finn
Finn has the face of a grumpy old man and the personality of a butterfly. Natalie & Ross tied the knot at the Veteran's Memorial Center and The Delafield hotel in the Milwaukee area.
Loves to present his butt for scratching.
Sported a full on tuxedo with a bow tie and vest for his parent's wedding.
Was featured for his good looks on Looks Like Film

7. Meet Willow
Willow is one of those girls that simply floats through the air. She's full of woofs, prancing, and a whole lot of love. Her legs are a mile long and she has the smile of the prettiest girl ever!
LOVES peanut butter.
Favorite toy: her ball! Her owners have to take it away from her at the end of the night so she'll actually go to sleep.
Willow knows how to open all the doors and window blinds in her home.
8. Meet Knoedel
Knoedel first came into our lives during her parents summer engagement session in Madison.
Is named Knoedel, a type of German dumping, because when she was first rescued, and was pretty chunky but her owners thought "meatball" was a little to mean for name ;)
Stands at the top of the stairs and softly "awoooos" when her owners come home.
She took a leaf out of Lizzo's book and took a DNA test- it was so mixed that her parents couldn't even decipher what breeds her grandparents were. She's "the perfect mutt".
*Knoedel is one is the many amazing dogs that came from the Dane County Humane Society- take a look through the available pets and meet the newest addition to your home.
9. Meet Knox
Knoxy boy is the apple of his parent's eye. We met for Emily & Kevin's engagement session in the Historic Third Ward in Milwaukee.
Not a fan of sitting his butt in the snow. Pulled a "hover butt" approximately 2 inches above the snowy side walk at all times.
Moose (toy) is his best friend.
His mama loves his "pretty ears"- when he pricks them up.
10. Meet Lola
Lola the terrier has the most expressive eyes you'll ever meet. She was a little uncertain when she realized that she was going to be a big sister at Becca & Robin's maternity session. But all her fears went away when she placed her fuzzy little paw on her mom's baby bump.
If she had theme music, it would be circus music. She prances everywhere with those tiny paws
Looked like the prettiest princess with a flower from her parents wedding around her neck during the maternity session!
Her feet are real life little grinch paws
11. Meet Huck
Huck is a goldendoodle with the smarts of a poodle and the devilishly good looks of a handsome golden. He is also the biggest flirt you'll ever meet and will go out of his way to say hi to you!
Loves each and everyone of this 20 tennis balls as if they were the last ones on earth
Recently mastered holding two tennis balls in his mouth at a time
Is a big fan of the great outdoors and is a master hiker and swimmer!
12. Meet Arya
This little girl was a guest at Maggie & Taylor's Baraboo Arts fall wedding. While we didn't spend too much time with her, we did get the chance to pet her sleepy face and catch her on camera.
Slept through all of the big events of the reception
A fan of tiny, wet, nose boops.
Wanted nothing else but to be curled up in the warmth of her owner's arms
13. Lug and Kai
The underbite brothers. These two are jam-packed with personality (as if you couldn't tell that from the photos below). If you're in need of any sort of pick me up, these brothers are sure to give you ALL the love. *Lug is the brown colored, smaller scruffy boy, and Kai is the lighter colored, bigger brother.
Lug:
Hides his favorite toys in closets or under bets so his brother, Kai doesn't destroy them
His idea of a good time is sticking his head out the window on a car ride, no matter the temperature
Kai:
Loves eating snow from between his toes
Obsessed with holding hands with humans (he specifically uses his left paw for this)
