DANIELLE & KEVIN - ST. BERNADETTE PARISH CEREMONY AND GRAND MERIDIAN RECEPTION PHOTOGRAPHER - APPLETON, WI

Two worlds came together this past weekend in an union of a beautiful Wisconsinite and a handsome Irish-Chicagoan... And, what a day that it was!!

Bridal detail...

I loved Danielle's shoes... classy Badgley Mishkas and whimsy Toms.

Danielle got ready at her parents' house in Appleton.

Laughter and happy tears...

Meanwhile, the guys were getting ready at Radisson Paper Valley (thank you, Elegant Exposure for capturing Kevin and the guys at the hotel).

Kevin's many reactions to seeing his bride for the first time that day.

A beautifully happy moment...

They exchanged their vows at St. Bernadette Parish in Appleton.

I love how the apple tree blossom shadows dance in these photos... a perfect combination to the lace. 

Danielle made a beautiful bride.

We ventured to the historic Fox River Mills apartments for more photos.

The Grand Meridian was the perfect background for Danielle and Kevin's elegant reception.

There were a lot of Kentucky Derby fans at this wedding... they all cheered their favorites.

Kevin and his mom kicked off the dancing portion of the evening…

From slow dances, to an Irish jig, to limbo, to singing... it was definitely one evening no one will forget any time soon!

Thank you, Danielle and Kevin, for making me a part of your wedding day. 

Dziekuje.

A year in review - 2015 wedding photographer - Gosia's Photography

This year has been amazing. My bridal couples have taken me from Green Bay, to Oneida, Kewaunee, La Crosse, Oshkosh, Chicago, Minneapolis, Neenah, Clintonville, Menasha, New London, Neenah and of course Appleton. It was fun revisiting known venues such as Lambeau Field and exploring new ones like Timber Rattlers' and Oshkosh Country Club.  From deep snow, to sunny days, to rain (and even tornado warning), to super windy to just plain freezing, 2015 has been a blast. And, I wouldn't change a thing!!

Thank you to all! I feel honored that you picked me to capture your beautiful moments!

Dziekuje!

Lauren's daughter takes center stage in the couple's life... the wedding day was no exception.

St. Francis Xavier Cathedral - thus far, the most gorgeous cathedral in northeastern Wisconsin.
