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!

EMILY & ALEC - PLAMANN PARK ENGAGEMENT SESSION PHOTOGRAPHER - APPLETON, WI - GOSIA'S PHOTOGRAPHY

When I book bridal couples via phone and don’t meet them until the day of their engagement session, I always laugh when I drive to meet them… it’s somewhat weird to drive up to a car and ask the people in it if they are ‘my couple.’ And, Alec and Emily were today’s couple… so totally in-love, adorable, and willing to do whatever it takes ;)

Can you believe that, at the beginning, Emily was slightly uncomfortable in front of camera?!!

I have never had a groom-to-be just pick up his bride without any direction… he went, whoosh, and there it was… another great photo.

Creating magical images can sometimes be met with raised eyebrows… like, ‘you two go around under those trees, and then sit in between all the brush,’ but then, this is what we get. :)

The day started with rainy clouds but ended with a beautiful sunny weather, an awesome couple, and a ton of laughter.

The Liberty Hall wedding - Appleton, WI - Lindsey & Joe

A sweet moment with her mom.

One of my favorite photos from this moment in ceremonies… father giving the daughter away… so lovingly done.

Making it official! aka one of the most fun maid-of-honor ever (see reception photos) :)

After ceremony we headed to the Secura grounds to do some group photos. Joe and Lindsey have one of the coolest group of friends. Everyone was on board with whatever Joe and Lindsey asked them for.

Funny photos… but of course!

After group shots, we focused just on the newlyweds...

Lindsey's bouquet was simple but had lots of detail, dear to her heart. Also, the steams were wrapped in one grandma's veil where the other grandma shared her broach. I command Lindsey on such a great way to include her family.

Then the speech portion of the wedding started, all innocently until when...

The maid of honor broke down into rap… yes, she rapped the speech and she was wonderful!!!

Since Joe is a big ice cream lover, the couple's sweet was just that. Vanilla ice cream with a choice of topping.

One of the most unique grand marches ever.

Thank you, Lindsey and Joe, for letting me document your wedding day! It was fun working with you, your family, and friends.

Dziekuje!
