Wedding, Equine, Rodeo & Portrait Photographers

We’re Jadrian & Dakota, a husband and wife photography team based in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. What started as a passion for photography has taken us from wedding days to rodeo arenas, horse sessions, and everything in between. When we’re not shooting, we’re usually on the road in our Jeep, cameras nearby, coffee in the cupholder, and enjoying the adventures that come with this journey.
