Gwynne and Eric’s Villa Terrace Milwaukee Wedding and Moct Reception

admin — Sat, 20 Aug 2011 05:53:29 +0000

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:

Courtny and Stephen’s Villa Terrace Milwaukee Wedding

Before we head off to WPPI (a large photography conference and trade-show) to learn a bunch of new things, and check out some new products, here is another wedding from last year.

Courtny and Stephen had a small wedding and reception at the Villa Terrace in Milwaukee, WI. These two are perfect for each other. They both have such a wonderful sense of humor. Just seeing them laugh together is infectious, and makes your day just a little better.

Thank you Simon and Nicole for having me photograph your wedding, it was truly a magical day. Since this is just a preview, I will write more later on a full post… so for now check out Simon and Nic… rockin’ it like only the McConico’s can…

Cassie and Shawn’s Eisner Museum Milwaukee Wedding

admin — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 09:41:19 +0000

2009 has been such a great year, and 2010 is going to be even better. 2010 is the year to “Go BIG or go home”… I don’t want to “go home” just yet, so I think I will go big. 2010 will be an interesting year for Valo. It is already shaping up that way, and I can’t wait. Keep your eyes peeled here on my blog and on Simon’s blog…

So, the first blog post of the year is a big one. The super fun wedding of Cassie and Shawn. Simon and I shot their wedding last year at the Eisner Museum, in the Historic Third Ward of Milwaukee Wisconsin. I knew their wedding was going to be fun after shooting an engagement session with them… Just all around fun, easy going, fashionable and good looking people…

So here are some images, Chuck Taylors and all…

Dana and Nick – Madison Wisconsin Engagement

We met up with Dana and Nick at the Orpheum early on a Saturday morning. We went from there and ran around Madison’s State St making some photographs of the two of them. Tons of fun to work with, check out some of the photos from the day:

Krista and Matt – War Memorial Milwaukee Wedding

Krista and Matt got married at the Milwaukee War Memorial right next to the Milwaukee Art Museum (MAM). It was a great setting, a great day, and a lot of fun. I was lucky enough to be there shooting with my man Mr Simon McConico. I love photographing weddings, check out some of the pictures I made:

Christina and Rob’s Villa Terrace Milwaukee Wedding

OK, so I could not resist, there are a ton of photos below, I just could not hold myself back. Christina and Rob’s Villa Terrace wedding was amazing! Beautiful weather, beautiful people, handmade everything (even the flowers were handmade paper flowers), and to top it all off… a DeLorean DMC, decked out in all the trimmings, including a “functional” Flux Capacitor. I knew this was going to be an amazing wedding when Simon and I met with Christina and Rob a couple months ago at the Villa Terrace. We walked around, chatted about their day, walked down to the gardens, and then Christina tip-toed back to tell us about her surprise DeLorean gift; when she told us that, we knew this was going to be a special wedding. She had the car pull up during the wedding ceremony, and he saw it for the first time right before they left for the reception.

So anyways, enough of my talking, check out some images from the Villa Terrace Wedding:

Don’t forget to take a look at Simon’s photos from the day over on his blog…

Check out the Villa Terrace as well. Amazing place for a wedding ceremony.
