Kat and Nick were planning on an outdoor wedding… Mother Nature had other plans… so she rained all day. It didn’t faze Kat and Nick though… their day was still an Amazing load of Awesome! Simon and I were there for the ride, and this is what we came up with:
And what set of serious awesome-ness would come without a side of Crazy Booth?
Ok… so there is a lot of images below… just a warning… but if you take a look here are just a few things you will see:
Congratulations Matt and Marie!
Oh yeah… so one of the brides maids was also in our Saturday wedding… two weddings, two days in a row, both at the same location… we rocked both of them… and so did Maria! Maria and I decided to make an identical (or as close as we could get) photograph each night… Same place, different dress!
And one last thing…
DANCE PARTY

Jen and Will are from the East Coast, but were getting married in Wisconsin… On a boat! They met each other when they were helping to build the very boat they were married on, The Denis Sullivan. The day started out great, when we went to make some portraits and noticed they were both wearing hiking boots! AWESOME! When asked if they would mind walking out into a field, they just looked down at the boots and we all laughed. I think at one point I heard Jen say “Oh cool, my dress is getting a little dirty…” as grasshoppers were flying out from under her as she walked through the field… I knew this was going to be a good day. From there the day only got better… Wedding on the Denis Sullivan, Reception at Pier Wisconsin with a ton of handmade AWESOME-NESS, custom napkins for people to take home, a photo place-card wall where people matched the photo on their card to the photo on each table, prairie grass center pieces that fit perfectly with the surrounding of Pier Wisconsin, KITE FLYING, Frogwater, awesome food by Bartolottas, amazing family and friends, 7 CAKES (Simon’s favorite part, I think), great weather, and sweet sweet light…
Here are some of my favorites from Simon and I throughout the day:
It is late, and I was just too excited to post these images until morning… So what can I say? Gwynne and Eric are awesome, and they have an even awesomer little girl. I met Gwynne back in design school and when she was telling me about her wedding I knew it would be fantastic. When she asked me if I would photograph the wedding, I was ecstatic! Being friends on Facebook, I got to see all the details come together as we got closer to the wedding day… each little detail done (most done by the hands of Gwynne herself) I got more excited for the wedding day. The ceremony took place at the fabulous Villa Terrace and the reception at the cool MOCT down in the Third Ward. They also had a pretty awesome Crazy Booth at MOCT… check that out over here… clickity click
The day was wonderful, and here are a few of my favs:
