BARBARA AND ALEC - SAINT MONICA PARISH CEREMONY PHOTOGRAPHER - WHITEFISH BAY, WI - GOSIA'S PHOTOGRAPHY

Barbara contacted me about six weeks before her wedding. She said she would like me to photograph the ceremony and portraits afterward... and if I were willing to travel to Milwaukee. We spoke on the phone two times and she settled on meeting me for the first time on the day of her wedding. I couldn't stress more how awesome Barbara and Alec are. They make a great couple and a lovely family!

Bridal details...

If I were to tell you that this photo was taken in the church basement, you wouldn't believe me, would you? St. Monica Catholic Church in Whitefish Bay (near Milwaukee) has the best church basement I have ever seen!

A sweet moment with her daughter.

Right before ceremony, Barbara's parents welcomed Alec's parents... it was a very nice moment.

Barbara and Alec decided on walking in together to the ceremony. I just love how Barbara's face lights up when she looks at her groom (in every photo!).

I usually don't photograph Communion during any Mass, but due to the size of the side chapel, I was able to capture this moment.

TIFFANY & TYLER - CLINTONVILLE CHURCH CEREMONY & KI CONVENTION CENTER RECEPTION PHOTOGRAPHER - GREEN BAY, WI

When Tiffany and Tyler contacted me, I was so excited. I had photographed Tyler's older brother's wedding six years ago. It's such a privilege and honor to be asked back!

The wedding was gorgeous. Surrounded by friends and family, Tiffany and Tyler's celebration was one for the books.

This little one was so taken by Tiffany's dress that she wanted to make sure that hers also drags down the stairs :)

Since Tiffany is a school teacher, it was only appropriate to ride the bus to the next location. The bridal and family photos were taken in Tiffany and Tyler's backyard! They have a great place!

STACEY & BRENT - APPLETON COURTHOUSE CEREMONY & RIVERVIEW GARDENS RECEPTION PHOTOGRAPHER - APPLETON, WI

Stacey and Brent celebrated their union over two days. Surrounded by their parents, they married in an intimate ceremony at the Appleton courthouse. Then, we spent some time making portraits on the lovely grounds at Lawrence University. Two weeks later, came the second day of festivities.  The couple celebrated in style with family and friends at the Riverview Gardens.

A short, sweet ceremony, but still with a few happy tears.

Before heading out to Lawrence University, we spent time at the old courthouse. The lobby is just full of reflective surfaces and patterns... one just has to look for them :)

Laura & Adam - lake property engagement session - middle of Wisconsin

Laura and Adam are two of the nicest people I have ever met!  I mean... the kindness that they have shown me is just amazing.

Although the couple lives in the Milwaukee area, they asked me if I would be interested in going to Laura's family cottage. It's their favorite place. I love when couples incorporate a personal touch in their sessions, so I immediately said yes... and that's how I got to meet their first furry baby too, not to mention, Laura's immediate family :)

Yes, Adam cheers for the Bears, but it's legit... he's from Chicago ;-)

I'm super excited for their wedding... June is just around the corner!
