BARBARA AND ALEC - SAINT MONICA PARISH CEREMONY PHOTOGRAPHER - WHITEFISH BAY, WI - GOSIA'S PHOTOGRAPHY

Barbara contacted me about six weeks before her wedding. She said she would like me to photograph the ceremony and portraits afterward... and if I were willing to travel to Milwaukee. We spoke on the phone two times and she settled on meeting me for the first time on the day of her wedding. I couldn't stress more how awesome Barbara and Alec are. They make a great couple and a lovely family!

Bridal details...

If I were to tell you that this photo was taken in the church basement, you wouldn't believe me, would you? St. Monica Catholic Church in Whitefish Bay (near Milwaukee) has the best church basement I have ever seen!

Right before ceremony, Barbara's parents welcomed Alec's parents... it was a very nice moment.

Barbara and Alec decided on walking in together to the ceremony. I just love how Barbara's face lights up when she looks at her groom (in every photo!).

I usually don't photograph Communion during any Mass, but due to the size of the side chapel, I was able to capture this moment.

Thank you, Barbara and Alec, for making me a part of your beautiful wedding ceremony. It was one of the most intimate and spiritual ceremonies I had pleasure photographing. 

Dziekuje.
