Ripon & Green Lake Wedding Photographer - Jason + Tiffany {June 26, 2010}



Jason + Tiffany were married on what I believed was the hottest wedding day I had ever experienced as a photographer. Everyone was sweaty, hot, and ready for a drink - then the sweet bride reminded everyone how lucky they day was that it was sunny - and not rainy. How right she was, considering their ceremony was outdoors!

The ceremony was held at Bloch's Greenhouse in Green Lake, WI. The reception was at Royal Ridges of Ripon. Here is a peek into Jason + Tiffany's salmon and purple wedding day:





All the sparkly details ...










As you can see in the photograph below, Jason + Tiffany had a Kayla Richards Photography Engagement Session Guestbook as part of their wedding. In this Guestbook, photographs from their engagement session grace the pages where guests will sign. Guests LOVE these books - they get to enjoy all of the beautiful engagement photos they may not otherwise ever get to see! Ask me for details on this kind of album, if you're interested!


Jason + Tiffany also included an engagement photo in this detail, as well, their program. There are so many fun ways to incorporate your engagement photographs into your wedding. As a photographer, I have seen so many ways the photos are used, and I also have some of my own ideas I've thought up along the way (but that's for another post sometime!). If you'd like some more photo-use suggestions, feel free to contact me and we can chat. Okay, back to Jason + Tiffany's wedding ....!


This set of photos proves that this man is in love with Tiffany!
What a photo to cherish!

This is just stunning.



Could this ceremony setting be any more perfect?

I do!

A couple shots of the ladies...

And a silly one of the whole bridal party!



Some of my favorites from the bride + groom's portrait shoot:











Onto the reception ... isn't this cake gorgeous? So elegant!


I love the shoe game at receptions! It always gets everyone laughing!






Jason + Tiffany - may your marriage always be as bright and warm as the day you were married!

Green Bay & DePere Wedding Photographer {Jeremy + Stacey} July 3, 2010

Jeremy and Stacey's warm and sunny wedding day took place DePere & Green Bay, WI. Their ceremony was held at St. Mark's Lutheran Church in DePere, and the reception was at the Swan Club of DePere. In between, we headed to Green Bay for portraits at Green Bay Botanical Gardens - completely gorgeous! The Bontanical Gardens is an extra-special place for Jeremy + Stacy. Jeremy proposed to Stacey under the metal art structure you will see below.




Stacey's final primping before she becomes a Mrs!


Her beautiful mermaid gown ... I loved her dress and gorgeous, long veil.


Time to get married!





Helllloooo, gorgeous lighting!


Jeremy proposed to Stacey underneath this:





Hands down, my favorite shot of the entire wedding. There is so much to love about this photograph.

I'm always up for some goofy pictures of the bridal party!


Jeremy and Stacey chose cheesecakes in place of the traditional cake (good choice - yum!)


Time for some romance! Clink-clink!

Some good laughs during dinner!

Even more from this half of the head table!

Jeremy and Stacy's first dance was like those you sometimes see on a TV show - the kind where they started off slow dancing, and then suddenly, the music changes and they are busting out a rehearsed routine! Talk about entertaining!



Time to party!

Some special dances with some very special people.
It was a long trek back to Beaver Dam from DePere that night, but since the 4th of July was the next day, the whole way home, I saw fireworks in each city that I passed along the highway - so cool!

Jeremy + Stacey - may you always be has happy as you were on this day!
