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.

JEN & MATT - TRINITY LUTHERAN CHURCH CEREMONY AND MADISON MARRIOTT WEST RECEPTION PHOTOGRAPHER - MADISON/MIDDLETON, WI - GOSIA'S PHOTOGRAPHY

What a great couple for the end of this fall wedding season. Fun loving, funny, and super nice… couldn’t ask for anything more. Even better: Jen contacted me after seeing her cousin’s wedding photographs from FIVE years ago! What an honor!

Bridal bling….

A sweet moment between Jen and her mom :)

This right here… I’m just going to let you look and laugh… I had such a great time with this group.

Drove past this ivy covered wall… had to stop to take some photos.

To me, this is where bridal photos in front of the capitol should be taken.

Yup! :)

The reception took place at the Madison Marriott West.

I do

Bucky made a surprise appearance… Jen planned this for Matt and kept it a secret for a whole year!

Thank you, Jen and Matt, for making me a part of your wonderful wedding day!

Dziekuje!

KIRA & ZACH - NEW HOPE LUTHERAN CHURCH WEDDING CEREMONY AND BUBOLZ NATURE PRESERVE RECEPTION PHOTOGRAPHER - APPLETON, WI - GOSIA'S PHOTOGRAPHY

Zach and Kira go together like ice cream and pie. Sweet, caring, and very thoughtful, their relationship can be described in one word: goals!

Beautiful vintage bridal jewelry.

A sweet moment with Kira’s mom.

And, her dad.

Kira’s maternal grandma was her flower girl… and grandpa, the ring bearer.

Kira and Zach took a moment for each other and exchanged little notes.

Happy tears (insert heart emojis).

The sweetest vows.

Kira and Zach’s brothers… one was a brides-man, the other a grooms-man ;)

Lavender throwing… I wish I could capture the smell. It was divine!

A very unique heart-shaped bouquet designed by Flower Mill.

Zach and Kira’s first date took place at Tom’s… so we recreated it.

Bridal party portraits at Sunset Park in Kimberly.

I cannot say enough about ‘sweetheart tables.’ Love them! And this one was wonderfully decorated.

The reception was at Bubloz Nature Preserve.

There were few speeches. Bride’s father had a small gift for the newlyweds.

Sunset photos…

Thank you Kira and Zach for having me document your beautiful wedding day. I hope our paths will cross again… and many times.

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 AND RYAN - GREEN BAY BOTANICAL GARDENS ENGAGEMENT PHOTOGRAPHER - GREEN BAY, WI - GOSIA'S PHOTOGRAPHY

On the day of Shelby and Ryan's engagement session we had a huge storm. The Green Bay Botanical Gardens were soaked in the warm rain, but Mother Nature did not disappoint... we had three minutes of a wonderful partial rainbow! 

As soon as I saw the rainbow, I asked them to run to the edge of the sidewalk and 'just kiss.' That was their first kiss of the session... first kisses are usually uncomfortable since the couples don't really know me yet, but I must say that Shelby and Ryan had a perfect kiss!

The flowers were in full bloom at the GBBG.

I had an awesome time photographing these two... cannot wait for their wedding in April!
