Waupaca Wedding Photography - Missy and Paul

Sunday, April 4th, 2010

Time to catch up on a few weddings and engagement sessions from last fall that have not been posted to the blog yet!

These are from Missy and Paul’s wedding in Waupaca, Wisconsin.  If I could describe this day using only three words, I think it would have to be “oodles of laughter”.  Paul and Missy are incredibly fun people surrounded by incredibly fun friends and family.  It’s the perfect recipe for oodles of laughter!

Boulder Junction Wedding on Ice

Saturday, March 20th, 2010

When you’re planning a wedding for March in Wisconsin, you never know what the weather is going to be like.  You could experience a blizzard, some rain, or a sunny 40-degree day like Sara and Adam experienced for their outdoor wedding on the ice of Upper Gresham Lake.

A beautiful day that says “Spring is on its way!” tied with the emotions of a wedding is very moving.  I could see many guests smiling as they watched Sara walk to the lake on her Grandfather’s arm…some reminiscing their own weddings while others simply enjoyed the moment.  As Adam took her hand, a few snowmobiles drove by to check out the crowd, probably expecting to see a trophy fish being pulled out of the lake instead of the wedding ceremony.  But being snowmobile lovers themselves, Adam and Sara smiled as it made their day all the more perfect!

Sara and Adam enjoy hunting so the wedding cake table was decorated with some great hunting memorabilia, including these two dolls dressed in hunting gear.  They were perched in their own tree stands in some evergreens.

Cathy and Zac’s Red Mill Wedding

Thursday, January 21st, 2010

Cathy and Zac’s wedding at the Red Mill and Chapel in the Woods in Waupaca was one rainy wedding I will never forget.  The rain held off for the outdoor ceremony, but it soaked the outdoor reception.  And what’s one way to make the best of a rainy reception?  Bring on the waterslide!!!

In the Hindu tradition, rain on the wedding day is considered lucky as it signals a strong marriage. The logic behind this belief is that a wet knot is more difficult to untie (getting married is often referred to as “tying the knot”)  So if it rains on your wedding day you will have a long, happy marriage.

So here’s to a long and happy marriage Cathy and Zac!

Good thing the children were well prepared with extra clothes for the rainy weather…I could just see the fear in all the mothers’ eyes if they were still wearing their Sunday best from the wedding ceremony!

Katie and John’s Lake Geneva Wedding

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

The summer of 2009 seemed to be the year of rainy weddings–we just couldn’t escape the weather.  Luckily Katie and John were spared the actual raindrops for their outdoor ceremony at the Lake Geneva Country Club, even though the clouds remained.  But the weather was forgotten when Katie appeared with her father, and everyone experienced one of those incredible moments where a break in the clouds allowed some light to shine through as she walked toward her groom.  Beautiful!

I had never in my life seen so many amazing people on the dance floor at one wedding - from Celtic dances to rocking out to “Electric Feel”, it was incredible!

I feel like this should have resulted in injury, but luckily it did not.
