The day’s schedule was tight, and we didn’t have a lot of time for the family formals. So I set up an impromptu photo booth at the reception so we could grab a few more group shots. Whenever you mix a photo-booth with Valo, though, you always end up with a Crazy Booth!
The night started out with casual human pyramids, which quickly escalated into a more formal and much more serious round of human pyramids, ending in an epic 10 person pyramid with no one else but the bride, Gretchen, on top!

Leah and Peter met us at South Shore Park, Boston Store bag stocked full of outfits, ready to go. I could tell I would like these guys right away… they were super chill and ready to go. These guys met playing E-bags… as in the video game version of the popular lawn game, bags… at an all girl punk band concert… at Y-Not 3. That is AWESOME! We chatted for a few minutes about life, Boston Store, and shopping. Leah and I agreed that while sweater weather is awesome… we were not quite ready for it yet. Then Peter laid down this gem: “Baby, when we get married, your Boston Store bag will always be full…” haha! Smooth and amazing! Simon and I were quick to comment: “And your bank account always empty…” After a quick chat we hurried on our way, because this time of year the light does not like to stick around for long… which I dislike… but the light we did get to play with was awesome.
Here are my favs from our shoot:

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:
