SELENA & NICK - COUNTRY CHAPEL CEREMONY AND NEENAH HILTON RECEPTION PHOTOGRAPHER - APPLETON, WI - GOSIA'S PHOTOGRAPHY

On the day of her wedding, Selena saved her true smiles for Nick. Whenever he looked at her, a smile would light up her whole face. It was incredible to watch.

Bridal bling…

Sweet moments - there were so many of them on this rainy wedding day.

Since both, groom and bride, are shy, they decided to read their personal vows to each other in private.

Ceremony location was questioned all morning: Indoor. Outdoor. Indoor. And, again, outdoor. No, indoor that is! So many guests were packed into the indoor chapel creating a very cosy and intimate ceremony!

Marriage license signing.

Beautiful florals from Twig & Vine.

The reception took place at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Neenah.

The best dog… too bad the pup had to stay home!

Thank you, Selena and Nick, for making me a part of your beautiful wedding day.

Dziekuje.

VERONICA & DAVID - BLUE HARBOR AND ROAD AMERICA WEDDING CEREMONY AND RECEPTION PHOTOGRAPHER - APPLETON, WI - GOSIA'S PHOTOGRAPHY

Veronica and DJ’s wedding was the best way I could ever hope to start any wedding season.

Veronica and DJ got ready at the Blue Harbor Resort in Sheboygan.

Lucking out on the beautiful weather, Veronica wanted to make sure we took full advantage of the great location… and, so did !!

One of the funnest mother-son duos.

Vern and DJ decided to not only do the first look but also to exchange letters beforehand.

First look…

After getting ready at Blue Harbor, we headed to Road America for the wedding celebrations.

ROSIE!!!

One of my all-time favorite photos of father and daughter (look at their hands).

(insert heart emoji…. times five :)) PS. No, it’s not a typo, just loving this image so much.

I have at least one pic per a wedding of a groom checking the tightness of the ring ;-)

Purple and sparkly beer.

Again, just need to keep inserting heart emojis!

Road America’s grounds did not disappoint… such a well done race track.

Beautiful details… Florals from Feisty Flowers and Better Sweet Bakery.

At the end of the day, V&DJ, made a lap on the world famous Road America race track… all of the 14 turns on four mile road!

Thank you, Veronica and David, for making me a part of your wonderful day. It’s been my pleasure to document your beautiful relationship, your family and friends, and the effort you have put into your big day.

CHEYENNE & ERIC - ST. PATRICK CATHOLIC CHURCH CEREMONY AND GRAND MERIDIAN RECEPTION PHOTOGRAPHER - MENASHA AND APPLETON, WI - GOSIA'S PHOTOGRAPHY

Cheyenne and Eric’s wedding day was filled with laughter, happy tears and love. Lots and lots of love! You could feel the love everywhere you looked… their parents, siblings, friends.

This was my second VLB wedding. I have met Mr. and Mrs. VLB six years ago when photographing their daughter’s wedding.

The bride seeing herself for the first time on her wedding day.

The reception took place at the Grand Meridian in Appleton.

Thank you, Cheyenne and Eric, for making me a part of your wedding. It is an honor to be able to photograph another VLB couple! It was lovely to see Eric’s family again and getting to know Cheyenne’s family and friends.

Dziekuje!

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!

LAURA & NATE - THE WATERS OF MINOCQUA CEREMONY AND RECEPTION - APPLETON, WI - GOSIA'S PHOTOGRAPHY

I met Laura four years ago while photographing her brother’s wedding. So it’s needless to say I was very honored, when she reached out to me about her own wedding. It was so great to see the M family again!

Laura and Nate’s wedding ceremony and reception took place at her family’s vacation spot - The Waters of Minocqua. The eighty-two degree weather was highly unusual for this time of year and location, but that didn’t disheartened anyone from having an awesome time!

Bridal bling…

So glad I was able to capture this lovely moments of Laura and her parents.

The reaction from bride’s friends was great but nothing was better than Laura seeing herself for the first time.

The ‘first look’ photos at the arcade room.

Love this so much…

Laura and Nate are great parents to their two year old.

The father of the flower girl had way too much fun :)

The fun loving bridal party!

Gorgeous bride (doesn’t she resemble her mom in this photo?)

Thank you, Laura and Nate, for making me a part of your special day. It was great seeing everyone again and I’m kind of sad that Mr. and Mrs. M (Laura’s parents) ran out of their lovely children for me to photograph. :)

Dziekuje

PS. And, thank you, Kara (and Jake) for being some of my greatest advocates!
