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).

Bridal bling…

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.

Thank you, Kristen and Jarod, for having me document your beautiful wedding day. Cannot wait to celebrate with you yet again next year!

Dziekuje.

SARAH & FRANK - HOMESTEAD MEADOWS CEREMONY & RECEPTION - APPLETON WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER - GOSIA'S PHOTOGRAPHY

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.

The bridal bling…

Sarah asked to recreate one of her grandma’s wedding photos. I love how it turned out.

A sweet moment… Frank and his mom.

Another sweet moment… Sarah and Frank (and happy tears).

Outdoor ceremony at Homestead Meadows

Their furry baby totally stole the show ;)

Love me some great bridal party and sun flares.

Sweet reception set up.

Thank you, Sarah and Frank, of making me a part of your beautiful wedding day.

EMILY AND ALEC - ST. PAUL'S LUTHERAN CHURCH CEREMONY AND OSHKOSH CONVENTION CENTER - BRIDAL PORTRAITS PHOTOGRAPHER - FOND DU LAC/OSHKOSH, WI - GOSIA'S PHOTOGRAPHY

Emily and Alec’s wedding was the first regular celebration of this Covid 2020 season. And what a celebration it was!! Family, friends, tears of joy, smiles, and little details made this a one great day!!

Bridal bling… the pearl necklace was worn by her mom on her own wedding day.

Cuties!

First look with her friends… :)

A sweet moment… Alec’s mom made him a vest. The material came from her wedding dress.

Pastor who married the couple is a family member.

Bridal photographs were taken at Menominee Park… we found a great tree for great photos.

Straight from a wedding magazine… don’t you think so?

Reception took place at the Oshkosh Convention Center.

We snuck out for photos by the water.

I won’t say a thing… I don’t have to (insert a biiiiiiiiiiiiig heart emoji)

Thank you, Emily and Alec, for making me a part of your celebration. Loved spending time with you, your family, and friends.

Dziekuje.

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.

Refractions.

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!

We ventured onto St. Norbert College grounds for a short bridal portrait session.

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

Dziekuje!

SELENA & NICK - COUNTRY CHAPEL CEREMONY AND NEENAH HILTON RECEPTION PHOTOGRAPHER - APPLETON, WI - GOSIA'S PHOTOGRAPHY

On the day of her wedding, Selena saved her true smiles for Nick. Whenever he looked at her, a smile would light up her whole face. It was incredible to watch.

Bridal bling…

Sweet moments - there were so many of them on this rainy wedding day.

Since both, groom and bride, are shy, they decided to read their personal vows to each other in private.

Ceremony location was questioned all morning: Indoor. Outdoor. Indoor. And, again, outdoor. No, indoor that is! So many guests were packed into the indoor chapel creating a very cosy and intimate ceremony!

Marriage license signing.

Beautiful florals from Twig & Vine.

The reception took place at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Neenah.

The best dog… too bad the pup had to stay home!

Thank you, Selena and Nick, for making me a part of your beautiful wedding day.

Dziekuje.
