EMILY AND ALEC - ST. PAUL'S LUTHERAN CHURCH CEREMONY AND OSHKOSH CONVENTION CENTER - BRIDAL PORTRAITS PHOTOGRAPHER - FOND DU LAC/OSHKOSH, WI - GOSIA'S PHOTOGRAPHY

Emily and Alec’s wedding was the first regular celebration of this Covid 2020 season. And what a celebration it was!! Family, friends, tears of joy, smiles, and little details made this a one great day!!

Bridal bling… the pearl necklace was worn by her mom on her own wedding day.

Cuties!

First look with her friends… :)

A sweet moment… Alec’s mom made him a vest. The material came from her wedding dress.

Pastor who married the couple is a family member.

Bridal photographs were taken at Menominee Park… we found a great tree for great photos.

Straight from a wedding magazine… don’t you think so?

Reception took place at the Oshkosh Convention Center.

We snuck out for photos by the water.

I won’t say a thing… I don’t have to (insert a biiiiiiiiiiiiig heart emoji)

Thank you, Emily and Alec, for making me a part of your celebration. Loved spending time with you, your family, and friends.

Dziekuje.

COURTNEY & PATRICK - WHISPERING SPRINGS GOLF CLUB WEDDING CEREMONY AND RECEPTION PHOTOGRAPHER - FOND DU LAC, WI - GOSIA'S PHOTOGRAPHY

The weather the whole week before Courtney and Patrick’s wedding day was so rainy, that even I was looking at the forecast. All the worrying was for nothing; the weather turned gorgeous for Courtney and Patrick’s special day!

The bridal bling…

Personalized Converse shoes and one of the most beautiful veils ever.

Growing up in Wisconsin, everyone knows that when it comes to football, the Minnesota Vikings are one of the Green Bay Packer’s biggest rivals… but this wedding couple tried to bridge the ‘differences’ even if by a small wedding detail. :)

Patrick shared the story behind the tie pin with me… and then, I had the chance to photograph his mom’s reaction to his decision to wear the pin on the day of his wedding.

Courtney asked if we could do the first look (btw, I love photographing those moments)… this time, Patrick’s best friend ‘went’ first… oh, and there was so much laughter! There were even jokes that perhaps, Kody isn’t the only fake bride seeking the first look…

I’m so glad we used the reception room as the background for the first look. The room at the Whispering Springs Golf Club is simple but that is what makes it great!

The ceremony…

Bridal party photos were taken on the golf grounds…

A beautiful set up in the dining room…

After dinner, we snuck out for a couple of sunset photos… what a beautiful day for a beautiful wedding.

SHELBY & RYAN - FAITH LUTHERAN CHURCH CEREMONY/HOLIDAY INN RECEPTION PHOTOGRAPHER - FOND DU LAC, WI - GOSIA'S PHOTOGRAPHY

I really have the best bridal couples! I mean it!!

To date, Shelby is the most super prepared and organized bride I have ever had the pleasure photographing! At the same time, Shelby and Ryan were also completely laid back, fun and so easy to work with. 

Because all of that, I was able to capture lots of beautiful moments... from getting ready, to bridesmaids, to seeing her dad, to the ceremony and beyond... their day was filled with them!

Bridal details

Shelby's mismatched socks represented 'something borrowed and something blue.'

I love capturing sweet moments... and symmetry. This photo has both aspects :)

I don't think I have to say much about the next three photos... the bride with bridesmaids; with her father; and a moment ('corner shot') with her husband to-be.

The 'I-do's' in the simply beautiful Faith Lutheran Church in Fond du Lac.

Ryan and Shelby ventured out to the Lakeside Park... we had an exceptionally beautiful day (unlike the weather on their engagement session)

Fun Wisconsin Fact: A week before their wedding, we were knee-deep in snow aka Winter Storm Evelyn... but you wouldn't be able to tell that from these photos :)

I heart any and all conifers. 

They thought I was testing the light ;)

Not pictured in the next photograph: my assistant running down the dock making sure that sitting seagulls are scared enough to fly away... the result: a great photo (thank you, Rachel)!

Tables' gold details. 

And, a golden sunset.

Thank you, Shelby and Ryan, for making me a part of your beautiful wedding day. It was my pleasure photographing your family and friends, and especially you two. 

Dziekuje!

Cassie & Seth's wedding featured on Wisconsin Bride

It's always an honor to have my work published by publications and blogs. 

This one is even more special because it's a Wisconsin based blog :) The Wisconsin Bride editor did an excellent job highlighting Cassie & Seth's wedding. Just take a peek yourself

Enjoy!

Cassie & Seth - Thelma Sadoff Center for the Arts (THELMA) wedding ceremony and reception photographer - Fond du Lac, WI

As a photographer, I feel honored and privileged to document a day as important as a wedding day. Many times the love and sweet moments I capture bring happy tears to my eyes. Cassie and Seth's wedding day was no exception. Surrounded by their loving family and friends, Cassie and Seth are the quintessential perfect couple.

The couple’s impeccable style can be seen in many of these gorgeous details. From the venue, to the dress, ceremony, and reception details, everything fell into place wonderfully. Just take a peek!

Cassie had her grandmother's wedding ring sewn into her dress.

A sweet moment with her mom

A beautiful bride on her wedding day in a beautiful room in a beautiful window light!

Cassie and Seth opted on the first look... 

One of my favorite image from this wedding.

The most stylish bridal party

I love staircases (and wallpaper)

Cassie and Seth braved the Wisconsin cold and celebrated their wedding on a brisk, but beautiful, first day of the new year.

Gorgeous portrait... one of my favorites.

Their evening ceremony took place on the main stage.

A true grand entrance... Thank you, Sound Dimensions Disc Jockeys, for the fun music and great uplights and spotlights!

Thank you, Cassie & Seth, for making me a part of your gorgeous wedding day. What a great way to start the new year!

Dziekuje!
