JACKIE & DREW - TJ'S HARBOR CEREMONY AND RECEPTION PHOTOGRAPHER - OSHKOSH, WI - GOSIA'S PHOTOGRAPHY

I met Jackie in 2014 at her sister’s wedding. I was so happy when Jackie told me she was getting married and wanted me to photograph her big day! I loved working with her then, and was looking forward to working with her on her wedding day!

Visually, this wedding for me, was all about light contrast, reflections, sun rays, sunset, moon and everything in-between. Jackie’s keen eye for details and color made my job a breeze! For an example, just look at the invitation colors and patterns and the background… a perfect match… just like Jackie and Drew!

Stacy asked the seamstress to sow in a heart into Jackie’s dress (the material came from Stacy’s bridesmaid’s dress and it was a little surprise of ‘something blue’).

This awesome bride spent a lot of time on her wedding day details. She even made her own bouquet.

Bridal bling…

I have a lot of favorite photos from this wedding, but this is one of my all-time favorite getting ready shots.

Drew’s family flew in from all over the country. It was lovely meeting them all.

Yes, that’s the groom’s initial impression to seeing his bride for the first time… wow!

Everyone who knows me, knows that I look to make sure to photograph all generations… here’s a four generation photo.

Can you guess how many mosquitoes I had to photoshop in each photo? Answer: A LOT! But, it still looks so lovely.

Thank you, Jackie and Drew, for making me a part of your wedding. It was my honor photographing your beautiful day. Also, it was nice seeing Stacy and Zach, Cody, all of your family once again, and it was nice meeting Drew’s family.

Dziekuje!

COURTNEY & PATRICK - MENOMINEE PARK ENGAGEMENT SESSION PHOTOGRAPHER - OSHKOSH, WI - GOSIA'S PHOTOGRAPHY

I don’t think I laughed so much during a session in a while… Courtney and Patrick make such a funny, smart, and loving couple.

Their session took me to the Menominee Park in Oshkosh. I like photographing there because the sun is just on the right side of the lake ;-)

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!

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.

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 :)

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)!
