ELAINE & ZACH - ST. MARY'S CATHOLIC CHURCH CEREMONY AND ST. NORBERT BRIDAL PORTRAITS PHOTOGRAPHER - DEPERE, WI - GOSIA'S PHOTOGRAPHY

Elaine and Zach’s wedding day makes another first one (see previous post). This time it’s a quarantine wedding. After picking a back up wedding date, this sweet couple decided to go on with their May wedding ceremony. Family and friends joined them in a streamed mass.

Bridal bling… natural in nature.

Zach’s mom helped Elaine get ready.

Elaine and Zach didn’t opt for a first look, but I found a way to have them be in one photo without seeing each other.

Zach’s dad walked Elaine down the aisle.

A sweet surprise for the bridal couple… their families.

Six feet apart and wearing mask… the unfortunate reality… but everyone was happy for the newlyweds!

Thank you, Elaine and Zach, for making me a part of this beautiful wedding day… although short it was definitely a sweet one :)

Dziekuje!

NATALIE & JOHN - COUNTRY ELEGANCE CEREMONY & RECEPTION - HILBERT, WI

Natalie and John are one of the two most accomplished and busy people I know... He, a nurse and woodworker enthusiast; she, a Ph.D. student at the University of Madison... They were so busy that their engagement session took place only three days before the wedding.

The ceremony and reception took place at a private estate, Country Elegance. I cannot stress enough how great are the people who run it.

When the rain came, we decided to take some portraits indoors.
