Oh snap. The Crazy was broughten at Mackenzie and Paul’s wedding. I didn’t have the pleasure of shooting the whole even, that honor was given to Anna from Anna Page Photography and I have no doubt the photos rock! Jake and I were shooting Vanessa and Drew’s wedding during the day and then after I scooted to Cuvee to drop some booth action on the party that was well underway.

I got set up and Mackenzie’s Mom brought over a bucket of props and the guest got to work. About midway through my time there the door busted open and out popped the UW Madison Marching band. They were rockin the crowd so hard that I needed to strap on my flash and get some photos. If your a UWM grad, I would highly suggest getting them to come and play at your wedding. So much fun.

Rock on ->

The man and lady of the evening:

And then the band:

P.s. This was catered by Lee John’s Catering and they were super fun to work with for the little bit that I was there. Oh yeah, and they had chocolate covered cheesecake lolly pops. Delish.

I don’t have words for this type of stuff… just look at the photos.

Shooting weddings makes  you really thirsty

And, I guess it also makes you a little crazy

Cuvee, a super swag place is a great location to have your reception. Great staff and a really great environment.  You can check out the full wedding post on My Blog and Jakes Blog.

Oh my my my my… I love shooting weddings. Rob and Christina’s wedding just continued to keep me on my toes.  Tons of home made things, small details, and lots of fantastic vendors to work with.

Rob and Christina contacted me from New York where they live and work.  Both of them have been involved in theater and the arts and it was evident at their wedding.  Christinas dress was handmade and so were all of the flowers.  The flowers were paper and crafted by St. Jude’s Creations and looked fantastic.  The wedding was at the beautiful Villa Terrace, which is an awesome location overlooking like Michigan.

I love to see the different emotions that people go through at a wedding… from the nervous first steps to the first kiss.

They had an adaptation of one of my favorite author/illustrator, Shel Silverstein’s work “The Missing Piece Meets The Big O”

We had some fantastic light for photos after the ceremony.

Of all the great personal touches, this one takes the cake. Rob is a big Back to the Future fan and Christina surprised him with renting a Delorean (from TimeMachineRental.com) to go from the Villa Terrace to the reception site, Cuvee.  Pretty much the most fantastic thing ever.

Heck… I even got in on the action.

The cake was from Eat Cake and was not only gorgeous, but was the best smelling cake ever. I could smell the berries before the cake was even cut.

Later that night we went out to the car and took more photos and had a great time quoting lines from Back to the Future and attempting to go 88mph. Didn’t work…

A big thanks to Dynamic Events for helping pull everything together and make this a great night for Rob and Christina.  There are more photos coming from the Crazy Booth… I’ll post those in just a bit… too crazy for my computer to handle.
