KAYLA & RYAN - MOUNT OLIVE LUTHERAN CHURCH WEDDING CEREMONY AND GRAND MERIDIAN RECEPTION PHOTOGRAPHER - APPLETON, WI - GOSIA'S PHOTOGRAPHY

This golf loving couple tied the knot on one of the hottest days this wedding season. But, looking at the photos, the only thing one can see is love… and lots of it!

Kayla with her mom and sister.

A sweet moment with dad and mom.

The groom with his parents. Fun fact: Ryan’s dad was also his best man!

The first look was one of the sweetest moments I have photographed in a long time :)

The ceremony took place at the New Hope Lutheran Church in Appleton.

Hands…

We sought shelter from the heat at Plamann Park.

Gorgeous wedding dress detail.

The reception was at the Grand Meridian.

Thank you, Kayla and Ryan, for making me a part of your beautiful wedding day.

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.

VERONICA & DAVID - BLUE HARBOR AND ROAD AMERICA WEDDING CEREMONY AND RECEPTION PHOTOGRAPHER - APPLETON, WI - GOSIA'S PHOTOGRAPHY

Veronica and DJ’s wedding was the best way I could ever hope to start any wedding season.

Veronica and DJ got ready at the Blue Harbor Resort in Sheboygan.

Lucking out on the beautiful weather, Veronica wanted to make sure we took full advantage of the great location… and, so did !!

One of the funnest mother-son duos.

Vern and DJ decided to not only do the first look but also to exchange letters beforehand.

First look…

After getting ready at Blue Harbor, we headed to Road America for the wedding celebrations.

ROSIE!!!

One of my all-time favorite photos of father and daughter (look at their hands).

(insert heart emoji…. times five :)) PS. No, it’s not a typo, just loving this image so much.

I have at least one pic per a wedding of a groom checking the tightness of the ring ;-)

Purple and sparkly beer.

Again, just need to keep inserting heart emojis!

Road America’s grounds did not disappoint… such a well done race track.

Beautiful details… Florals from Feisty Flowers and Better Sweet Bakery.

At the end of the day, V&DJ, made a lap on the world famous Road America race track… all of the 14 turns on four mile road!

Thank you, Veronica and David, for making me a part of your wonderful day. It’s been my pleasure to document your beautiful relationship, your family and friends, and the effort you have put into your big day.

VERONICA & DAVID - MILWAUKEE ENGAGEMENT SESSION PHOTOGRAPHER - GOSIA'S PHOTOGRAPHY

I don’t think I have ever had a couple whose both last names are so much more Polish than mine… and I’m off the boat!

When Veronica mentioned that she wanted me to meet them in an orchard, I think I might have danced a happy dance… it’s been a long time since I have photographed at an apple orchard.

One of most behave pups I have ever met.

As avid car enthusiasts, they showcased some of their race cars. I cannot wait to photograph their wedding at Elkhart’s Road America. I have been told that the racecourse will be hot that day :)

CHEYENNE & ERIC - ST. PATRICK CATHOLIC CHURCH CEREMONY AND GRAND MERIDIAN RECEPTION PHOTOGRAPHER - MENASHA AND APPLETON, WI - GOSIA'S PHOTOGRAPHY

Cheyenne and Eric’s wedding day was filled with laughter, happy tears and love. Lots and lots of love! You could feel the love everywhere you looked… their parents, siblings, friends.

This was my second VLB wedding. I have met Mr. and Mrs. VLB six years ago when photographing their daughter’s wedding.

The bride seeing herself for the first time on her wedding day.

A quick symmetrical photograph before leaving to Peabody Park for bridal portraits.

The reception took place at the Grand Meridian in Appleton.

Thank you, Cheyenne and Eric, for making me a part of your wedding. It is an honor to be able to photograph another VLB couple! It was lovely to see Eric’s family again and getting to know Cheyenne’s family and friends.

Dziekuje!
