DAVID & SUE - THE PAINE ART CENTER AND GARDENS WEDDING CEREMONY & RECEPTION PHOTOGRAPHER - OSHKOSH, WI

I had met Sue a couple of months ago and was instantly drawn to her great personality. Since she and David live out of state, it wasn't until just a few days before their wedding, that I had the pleasure of meeting the groom. After talking with them for about forty minutes, I could not help noticing what a great couple they make!

Living out of state, Sue worked closely with Johanna of Witt & Co. Events, on her wedding which took place at the Paine Art Center and Gardens.

A sweet moment between Sue and her mom.

The first look.

The couple was married in a lovely outdoor ceremony surrounded by family and friends. 

Can't you feel the love? :)

Zuppas Market Cafe and Catering provided quite the spread for Sue and David's wedding. 

Thank you, Sue and David, for making me a part of your beautiful wedding day. 

Dziekuje.

Sirata Resort destination wedding - St. Pete Beach, FL - Melissa & Josh

Josh and Melissa are young and fun and they make a great couple. They are high school sweethearts, who after seven years, tied the knot in beautiful Florida.

They opted for a destination wedding to occur on the day of their seventh anniversary. Although the wedding day was a very rainy, the wedding celebration was wonderful. Close family and friends had travelled all the way from Green Bay and other parts of the country to participate in their beautiful ceremony and fun reception. I mean, this family knows how to have a great time!  :)

The bridal details....

As something borrowed, Melissa chose to use her sister's tiara.

As you already know, that Friday was a little bit rainy. This was the only spot where we could fit eight people, keep them dry and still show off at least one characteristic of the Sunshine State, the palm trees.

Reception ballroom was decorated with the peacock theme in mind... And it looked great.

At the end of the dinner, we noticed the sun came out. We got out of the building as fast as we could. I have to hand it to Melissa... it wasn't too easy to navigate through all the rain puddles. We disregarded the occasional light sprinkle to get some great sunny Florida photos.
