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.

Dziekuje.

SARAH & NICK - ST. ROBERT'S PARISH CEREMONY AND MARCUS PERFORMING ARTS CENTER RECEPTION PHOTOGRAPHER - MILWAUKEE, WI - GOSIA'S PHOTOGRAPHY

Competitive, caring, and sweet… Sarah and Nick make a perfect couple. Those two great individuals exchanged ‘I do’s’ surrounded by their loving family and great friends. It was a great wedding day!

Bridal bling…

So many hugs, tears of joy, and laughter.

So grateful I was able to capture this great moment between Nick’s parents.

Beautiful old church.

Blessing of the wedding couple.

The gentlemen.

The ladies.

There were so many great spots to photograph at Atwater Park.

Sweet, sweet moment!

The reception was held at Marcus Performing Arts Center.

Grand march…

Special details

Thank you, Sarah and Nick, for having me document your beautiful wedding day.

Dziekuje.

COURTNEY & PATRICK - WHISPERING SPRINGS GOLF CLUB WEDDING CEREMONY AND RECEPTION PHOTOGRAPHER - FOND DU LAC, WI - GOSIA'S PHOTOGRAPHY

The weather the whole week before Courtney and Patrick’s wedding day was so rainy, that even I was looking at the forecast. All the worrying was for nothing; the weather turned gorgeous for Courtney and Patrick’s special day!

The bridal bling…

Personalized Converse shoes and one of the most beautiful veils ever.

Growing up in Wisconsin, everyone knows that when it comes to football, the Minnesota Vikings are one of the Green Bay Packer’s biggest rivals… but this wedding couple tried to bridge the ‘differences’ even if by a small wedding detail. :)

Patrick shared the story behind the tie pin with me… and then, I had the chance to photograph his mom’s reaction to his decision to wear the pin on the day of his wedding.

Courtney asked if we could do the first look (btw, I love photographing those moments)… this time, Patrick’s best friend ‘went’ first… oh, and there was so much laughter! There were even jokes that perhaps, Kody isn’t the only fake bride seeking the first look…

I’m so glad we used the reception room as the background for the first look. The room at the Whispering Springs Golf Club is simple but that is what makes it great!

The ceremony…

Bridal party photos were taken on the golf grounds…

A beautiful set up in the dining room…

After dinner, we snuck out for a couple of sunset photos… what a beautiful day for a beautiful wedding.

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!

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!

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’).

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

Bridal bling…

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

The beautiful Lake Winnebago.

More of wedding details, as well as an arch made by Jackie’s father.

Drew’s family flew in from all over the country. It was lovely meeting them all.

Yes, that’s the groom’s initial impression to seeing his bride for the first time… wow!

Everyone who knows me, knows that I look to make sure to photograph all generations… here’s a four generation photo.

The guys were awesome to work with!

So were the ladies.

Can you guess how many mosquitoes I had to photoshop in each photo? Answer: A LOT! But, it still looks so lovely.

The beautiful bride!

And, handsome groom.

LOVE this photo!

Jackie and Drew had the most amazing weather… sunny, warm, a little windy, amazing sunset and a beautiful moon!

Thank you, Jackie and Drew, for making me a part of your wedding. It was my honor photographing your beautiful day. Also, it was nice seeing Stacy and Zach, Cody, all of your family once again, and it was nice meeting Drew’s family.

Dziekuje!
