Kara and Paul's Wedding (Madison, WI)

Since I've moved back to Wisconsin, I've been able to shoot a lot of Madison weddings - and most of them have taken place at beautiful locations that were all new to me. Kara and Paul got married at St. Bernard's Catholic Church and their reception was at the gorgeous Madison Club (right off State Street). But before we headed to either of these locations, we first met up at Olbrich Botanical Gardens (where Jan and Joe's wedding took place) to take some group shots, so I was actually familiar with that venue! It's a sweet spot for photos, that's for sure.

I did engagement photos for Kara and Paul, and it was great to see them again on their special day. I had a great time and had fun capturing the special moments of the day. Here are a few of my favorite shots:






I love this shot of Paul's sister and her precious little girl:



and the kiss!




Congratulations, Kara and Paul!

Adria and Aaron's Wedding

Adria and Aaron got married in a tiny town just west of Eau Claire, WI at The Creamery - a beautiful bed and breakfast / restaurant / bakery / cafe. I dropped Kelly off at Adria's mom's house to take photos of the ladies for awhile, while I hung around with the guys for a bit. We could tell from the start that this couple truly wanted to relax and enjoy their day, and Kelly and I both had a blast hanging out with them and getting to know them as we took a few photos, while they were getting ready.

The venue was beautiful, and their reception was mostly focused on sharing some awesome food and conversation with loved ones.

They definitely win the "by far most creative cake" award - I mean, not many couples can announce they're going to "cut the cheese" without blushing, right?

Thanks, guys, for letting us play a part in your beautiful and laid-back wedding day. We had a blast.
