Destination Senior Session with Melissa ~ La Havana, Cuba

While touring the island of Cuba we stayed at an Air B & B in La Habana. During the week we met our wonderful neighbor Jenny. She noticed we were taking pictures and asked if we did Senior Graduation portraits. Jenny’s daughter Melissa was in need of having her high school graduation pictures taken. Their family was very curious to know all about us and where we were from in the U.S. (they loved Americans) We were delighted to step in and help. The Cuban people are the most generous and humble individuals I’ve ever met in all of my years of travel. After we met Melissa we were in awe of her natural beauty, fun loving spirit and blonde hair! Most people don’t know that Cuba is a blend of local islanders, black, and European since 1492. There are all walks of life there just as you would experience in any other big city such as Chicago. Melissa was very stylish and selected several modern outfits including her prom dress. We wanted to highlight Melissa’s true personality, her love of classic cars and the natural untouched beauty of La Habana. She selected a 1950’s look including a cropped pink sweater and hot pants to show off her youth and great tan from living in Cuba! We opted to shoot one hour prior to sunset for the best lighting. We covered the Malicon/ oceanside, nearby gorgeous abandon mansions, and the Melia Grad Hotel complete with a pink caddy. The longer we walked the more locations we found. I felt like a kid in a candy store! Any backdrop in Cuba is exquisite ~ overflowing with old world charm and packed with history.  The mise-en-scene to Melissa’s senior portraits resemble “Pirates of the Caribbean”! Melissa’s Senior experience was exciting, adventurous, and heartwarming. Thank you for choosing us Melissa for your Senior pictures. It was a pleasure getting to know you and your family. We also look forward to seeing you all on our next trip to La Habana Cuba. Salud!

Wedding Photography ~ a true art!

As professional full time wedding photographers we strive for excellence no matter how big or small the wedding. From Appleton to Greenbay, Milwaukee to Madison and Sheboygan to Sturgeon Bay, we travel everywhere. We love what we do and pour our hearts and souls into the craft of fine art wedding photography. AS leaders in the wedding business we don’t choose to copy what others wedding photographers have done in past, rather we pride ourselves in originality and giving our clients something out of the box! Many wedding photographers copy what is trending on Pinterest not considering that they are “cookie cutter” poses. (soon to be over used and outdated)

We have a timeless approach to wedding photography and provoke deeper feelings allowing you to reveal your true personality.  We shoot a wide range of lighting styles and use lighting to convey an exact mood. We guide our brides to how our camera sees them, so together we explore movement that will express our brides panache. When our brides see their wedding images, they are touched with emotion because they see themselves in a compelling way, perhaps a way they have never seen themselves before. This is fine art wedding photography in action.

Boudoir Photography ~ a magical experience!

Professional Boudoir photography is about making women feel good about themselves. Our goal with each boudoir session is to help our clients discover and embrace their own unique character and sexiness. We get pure artistic satisfaction from shooting boudoir and feel lucky to be able to express our creativity through photography.

How often are you professionally photographed and treated like a Super Model? Most women are over worked, under paid and spend much time balancing long hours at work while taking care of their family leaving little or no time for themselves.

As professional artists we cater to your needs and listen to your special requests! Boudoir sessions are offered in our exclusive boudoir studio, our boudoir loft or at the location of your choice. We offer sneak peaks as we’re shooting to show you the magic as it unfolds and how beautiful you are! We think every woman should fall in love with herself and celebrate her figure and thats why a boudoir session is quintessential! We look forward to capturing organic emotion and hidden moments for each of our clients and are ready to tell your story!

Emily’s senior experience at the old barn

When Emily’s mom {LeAnn} called and expressed how Emily wanted her Senior Pictures with {horse} Bono we were excited take pictures at the stables in Neenah. We made a plan to shoot at sunset / golden hour and twilight / purple hour for maximum coverage. Emily had an adventurous spirit riding Bono bareback through the pasture and willow trees. We accented her senior experience by taking some of her images in the hay loft accented with twinkling Italian lights for a cozy feel. Emily embraced having her BFF and mascot on a few of her senior pictures around her Mother’s garden for a personal touch. My favs are by the old truck that presented an warm vintage feel. It was a fabulous Senior Session and we enjoyed our time getting to know Emily and exploring the old barn. Thank you Emily for choosing us for your Senior Experience.  It was our pleasure creating unique Senior Portraits for you and your family.

Beach Wedding ~ Playa Del Carmen, Mexico with Stacy & Derick

Stacy & Derick reside in Colorado but decided to tie the knot in Magnificent Mexico. Stacy is originally from Wisconsin and came across De La Teja Studio many years ago…and we were honored they remembered us after all these years. Stacy looked striking in her designer beach gown complete with pink gold jewelry to match the sunsets of the Mayan Riviera. Many of our destination weddings consist of just the bride & groom since most couples are not into the show of a full traditional wedding. This couple were very much in love and wanted to keep things private and simple. Stacy said her favorite part was wandering the desolate beach at sunset while we watched a thunder storm roll by ~ she felt like a movie star! Derick was the perfect groom and answered to Stacy’s every wish!  After the extraordinary beach photo session we wandered into town to capture the soft glow of candles and street lights that make Playa Del Carmen so special! Stacy & Derick were blown away with these spectacular images both on and off the beach. We wrapped up the evening with the newlyweds to a famous seafood restaurant on the ocean complete with mango margaritas and a few tequilas! The next day we road tripped down the Yucatan Peninsula to a nearby cenote/quarry. The picturesque caverns were calling their names after a hot day of walking thru the jungle, they couldn’t wait to dive in the turquoise mayan pools!  Great job and kudos to you both for your willingness to venture off the resort for these breathtaking and once in a lifetime images! Salud to Stacy & Derick!
