A sweet moment with Kira’s mom.

Kira’s maternal grandma was her flower girl… and grandpa, the ring bearer.

Kira and Zach took a moment for each other and exchanged little notes.

Kira and Zach’s brothers… one was a brides-man, the other a grooms-man ;)

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.

JACKIE & DREW - TJ'S HARBOR CEREMONY AND RECEPTION PHOTOGRAPHER - OSHKOSH, WI - GOSIA'S PHOTOGRAPHY

I met Jackie in 2014 at her sister’s wedding. I was so happy when Jackie told me she was getting married and wanted me to photograph her big day! I loved working with her then, and was looking forward to working with her on her wedding day!

Jackie&Drew-Appleton-wedding-photographer-Gosias-Photography-Oshkosh-TJs-Harbor-outdoor-ceremony-reception-_0001.jpg

Visually, this wedding for me, was all about light contrast, reflections, sun rays, sunset, moon and everything in-between. Jackie’s keen eye for details and color made my job a breeze! For an example, just look at the invitation colors and patterns and the background… a perfect match… just like Jackie and Drew!

Jackie&Drew-Appleton-wedding-photographer-Gosias-Photography-Oshkosh-TJs-Harbor-outdoor-ceremony-reception-_0008.jpg

Stacy asked the seamstress to sow in a heart into Jackie’s dress (the material came from Stacy’s bridesmaid’s dress and it was a little surprise of ‘something blue’).

Jackie&Drew-Appleton-wedding-photographer-Gosias-Photography-Oshkosh-TJs-Harbor-outdoor-ceremony-reception-_0004.jpg

This awesome bride spent a lot of time on her wedding day details. She even made her own bouquet.

I have a lot of favorite photos from this wedding, but this is one of my all-time favorite getting ready shots.

Dziekuje!

COURTNEY & PATRICK - MENOMINEE PARK ENGAGEMENT SESSION PHOTOGRAPHER - OSHKOSH, WI - GOSIA'S PHOTOGRAPHY

I don’t think I laughed so much during a session in a while… Courtney and Patrick make such a funny, smart, and loving couple.

Their session took me to the Menominee Park in Oshkosh. I like photographing there because the sun is just on the right side of the lake ;-)

SHELBY & RYAN - FAITH LUTHERAN CHURCH CEREMONY/HOLIDAY INN RECEPTION PHOTOGRAPHER - FOND DU LAC, WI - GOSIA'S PHOTOGRAPHY

I really have the best bridal couples! I mean it!!

To date, Shelby is the most super prepared and organized bride I have ever had the pleasure photographing! At the same time, Shelby and Ryan were also completely laid back, fun and so easy to work with. 

Because all of that, I was able to capture lots of beautiful moments... from getting ready, to bridesmaids, to seeing her dad, to the ceremony and beyond... their day was filled with them!

Shelby's mismatched socks represented 'something borrowed and something blue.'

I love capturing sweet moments... and symmetry. This photo has both aspects :)

Gosias-Photography-Appleton-wedding-photographer-Fond-du-Lac-ceremony-Holiday-Inn-reception-Shelby-Ryan-_0005.jpg

I don't think I have to say much about the next three photos... the bride with bridesmaids; with her father; and a moment ('corner shot') with her husband to-be.
