KRISTEN & JARED - SMALL WEDDING CEREMONY - APPLETON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER - GOSIA'S PHOTOGRAPHY

These two lovely people decided to marry in a super small ceremony. Kristen’s brother walked her down the aisle where she was met by both her husband to-be and dad (who presided over the ceremony).

Had extra time with Jared

Some had a hard time (but still looking cute as a ring bearer), but overall, the excitement was in the air.

The wedding ceremony was originally scheduled to take place in the Green Bay area, but due to COVID, it had to be relocated to Kristen’s hometown. The University of Northern Illinois in DeKalb campus became the background for their portrait session. The yellow trees created beautiful contrast to navy details.

Sarah and Frank’s wedding was filled with so many beautiful moments. Their ceremony was one of the most spiritual outdoor wedding celebrations I have had the honor photographing.

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.

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.

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