Two worlds came together this past weekend in an union of a beautiful Wisconsinite and a handsome Irish-Chicagoan... And, what a day that it was!!

Bridal detail...

I loved Danielle's shoes... classy Badgley Mishkas and whimsy Toms.

Danielle got ready at her parents' house in Appleton.

Laughter and happy tears...

Meanwhile, the guys were getting ready at Radisson Paper Valley (thank you, Elegant Exposure for capturing Kevin and the guys at the hotel).

Kevin's many reactions to seeing his bride for the first time that day.

A beautifully happy moment...

They exchanged their vows at St. Bernadette Parish in Appleton.

I love how the apple tree blossom shadows dance in these photos... a perfect combination to the lace. 

Danielle made a beautiful bride.

We ventured to the historic Fox River Mills apartments for more photos.

The Grand Meridian was the perfect background for Danielle and Kevin's elegant reception.

There were a lot of Kentucky Derby fans at this wedding... they all cheered their favorites.

From slow dances, to an Irish jig, to limbo, to singing... it was definitely one evening no one will forget any time soon!

Appleton photographer's favorite photos - 2015 - wedding photography

Here are just several of my favorite images from the 2015 wedding season. To be honest, I have many, many more... it's so hard to have just one or two  (but that's a good problem to have).

Getting ready in all its details:

The first look...

Ceremonies

Bridal portait

The newlyweds!

Awesome friends aka group shot

All things yummy... rings and cakes ;)

Receptions... I love helping to show off all the hard work my bridal couples put in making their venues even more beautiful.

Getting your grove on!

The 2015 was a great year! Thank you.

Dziekuje!

A year in review - 2015 wedding photographer - Gosia's Photography

This year has been amazing. My bridal couples have taken me from Green Bay, to Oneida, Kewaunee, La Crosse, Oshkosh, Chicago, Minneapolis, Neenah, Clintonville, Menasha, New London, Neenah and of course Appleton. It was fun revisiting known venues such as Lambeau Field and exploring new ones like Timber Rattlers' and Oshkosh Country Club.  From deep snow, to sunny days, to rain (and even tornado warning), to super windy to just plain freezing, 2015 has been a blast. And, I wouldn't change a thing!!

Thank you to all! I feel honored that you picked me to capture your beautiful moments!

Dziekuje!

OuterEdge Stage/Radisson Paper Valley wedding - Appleton, WI - Erin & Corey

If one were to ask me about Erin and Corey, I would say that they are one of those easy-going, calm and fun couples. It was my pleasure to be a part of their wedding day!

Gorgeous bridal bling...

Her mom's hand work.

Throughout the day, there were many sweet moments... among them, Erin seeing herself as a bride (and the reaction of her family), a moment with dad... and exchange of personal vows with Corey.

The beautiful ceremony at the OuterEdge Stage.

We ventured to Sunset Park in Kimberly.

And then, to Radisson Paper Valley Hotel for their reception.

Thank you, Erin and Corey, for making me a part of your wedding! It was a great day!!

Dziekuje!
