ANGIE & SPENCER - RIVERVIEW GARDENS CEREMONY AND RECEPTION PHOTOGRAPHER - APPLETON, WI - GOSIA'S PHOTOGRAPHY

Over my many years in the wedding photography business, I must say that Angie and Spencer made the most laid back couple I have ever had the pleasure to photograph. And, it was a Sunday wedding… I love Sunday weddings!

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!

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.

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!

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

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!

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.

Lovely bride with her as much lovely mom.

Just look at Barbara's daughter's expression. The best bride reveal photo. ever.

A first look...

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

Sibling pic :)

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.

Dziekuje.
