Andrew and Sky’s wedding was a Christmas holiday theme dream wedding. The church was spectacularly decorated in Sun Prairie at Sacrted Hearts. And Oh My Goodness did they do an amazing job decorating the reception at Gacier Canyon!!! Wow, I can’t even explain how beautiful everything was. Check out Sky’s amazing design skills!

It was a bit cold and we didn’t get to go outside much but Heidi and I did manage to capture a few shots outside at their farm. Everyone was brave and went for it. I was so proud! Oh for the sake of art. And it was worth it!

I’ve been saving this blog post for today! Since it’s St. Patrick’s Day, what better wedding to show off than Josie and John’s Green Wedding!

Josie and John have a really beautiful and unique story. I was blown away by the deep feelings and love in the details she shared with me. They met and started dating in the 6th grade! Though it was just a fun early stage romance, they always kept each other in their hearts. Both of them had rough teenage years. Josie was in a car accident due to hydroplaning, which resulted in two friends dying and in critical condition. John had some neuro issues due to a birth defect, was hanging out with some naughty kids and got into some trouble with the law. About 2-3 years later, they started dating which was 2010. They fell in love in their junior year of high school. John told Josie after three weeks of dating, he was going to marry her.JFJG-0667

Later that same year, a neurological birth defect John was born with began to show symptoms again and over the next year and a half he had 10 surgeries’. The last surgery leaving him wheelchair bound for a year and a half. John learned to walk again after many medication trials, some successful and other’s failures leading to stuttering, tremors, etc. He first walked with bilateral knee high leg braces and two arm crutches. Today he walks with just bilateral knee high leg braces and has worked to kick the arm crutches to the curb. He worked so hard.

In May of 2014, at the end of Josie’s practical nursing pinning ceremony, John walked down the aisle, up the stairs with his leg braces on and one arm crutch and asked her to join him on stage. There he got down on one knee in front of family and peers and asked her to spend forever with him!  Melting heart over here!

Josie and John’s first dance was toThinking Out Loud” by Ed Sheeran for the  significance of of the lyrics: “when your legs don’t work like they used to, and I can’t sweep you off of your feet” because John physically couldn’t while in the wheelchair.  How sweet is that? What a great love story! These two are such an inspiration and I am honored to be a part of documenting their beautiful day.

One of my favorite moments about Michaela and Mike’s wedding was a little surprise after the ceremony when one of their parent’s friends brought up a sweet classic car and let us take photos with it! I know sometimes, if not done right, these types of photos can look cheesy or dated, but to me, […]

This glorious union took place at one of Madison’s most beautiful parks. Olin Turville overlooks Lake Monona and the Capitol and was the perfect venue for this super fun, casual, laid back wedding.

Throw Back Thursday to July 2nd, 2017! Kara and Tony have been friends of mine for a pretty long time. I met them on a kickball team around the vicinity of 10 years ago where we got together weekly and debaucherously (is that a word?) stumbled around bases, chugging PBR and pretended to be good at sports. We were called the Gonads and IT WAS AWESOME. Now that we are all grown up and mature…ish, these two finally decided to tie the knot! Yaaay marriage! And what a day it was!

The theme of their beautiful Olin Turville Park Wedding was fun, casual, simple and laid back.  The ceremony was unique and full of personal touches. There were lovely offerings of cupcakes from Daisy, a fantastically large pig from Stoddard’s and The Milwaukee Buffet full of Ham’s. And I mean Ham’s the beer! There were also many other delicious beverages to choose from including a couple of beautiful signature concoctions from Danielle our favorite bartender/friend 🙂

All of the gorgeous flowers came from the Dane County Farmer’s Market and were designed and arranged by more friends! Nicki and Megan were wonderful and helped out in so many ways! The whole day was perfectly finished off their first dance to an all vinyl DJ, Joe Schleising (another awesome friend) and a vibrant sunset over Lake Monona with the Capitol view.
