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

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…

Appleton-wedding-photographer-Gosias-Photography-Whispering-Springs-Golf-Course-Fond-du-Lac-Courtney-and-Patrick-_0010.jpg

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!

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.
