A beautiful Milwaukee Cathedral Wedding | Eric & Julie

At the beginning of this month, we released some beautiful photos of Eric and Julie's wedding. I hope you had a chance to see their full gallery! We just HAD to share our favorite highlights of this special love story with you. Their winter wedding day was filled with deep spirituality, rich symbolism, sweet moments and even DQ ice cream cake. Eric and Julie's friends and family gathered at The Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in downtown Milwaukee to witness their marriage. After their chilly horse-drawn carriage ride, everyone met the Bride and Groom at historic Humphrey Scottish Rite Masonic Center for a very elegant reception in the ornate banquet hall. I loved seeing the interaction of the families—everyone there knew that Eric and Julie were perfect for each other! 

I hope you enjoy these highlights from their big day...

zach & stephanie's dreamy fall wedding

We are happy to declare, Zach and Stephanie got married! We have known these two for almost five years and we're so excited for them. Their beautiful fall wedding day was filled with smiles, happy tears and sweet memories. Thir childhood pastors married them at Evangelical United Methodist Church in Racine surrounded by their closest friends and family. Afterward, we headed to Milwaukee for a banquet reception (at the Clarion Hotel) and stopped for some photos of the wedding party in Grant Park. It was a bit chilly, but the rain held off long enough for us to capture some stunning, scenic shots... I was drooling over the way the rain made the bright colors shine for such a dreamy, fairytale backdrop—GORGEOUS.

Chad and I truly enjoyed the entire day with Zach, Stephanie and all of their guests. It was an honor to capture their ceremony and celebration. We can't wait to hear how the rest of their love story unfolds. I hope you enjoy these highlights from their big day...

chris & amber said "i do" in racine
In August, Chris and Amber tied the knot and entered wedded bliss. It was such a sentimental day filled with emotion, encouragement and sweet memories. Evangelical United Methodist Church in Racine was packed with all of their closest friends and family for a very sacred, beautiful ceremony. Memorial Hall in downtown Racine was the perfect location for their very celebratory, spirited reception. Chad and I LOVED spending the entire day with Chris and Amber. Even though we already knew them, we felt like we had a room full of friends by the end of the night with their amazing guests. I don't think I've ever seen THAT much dancing at a reception...such a blast. We're so excited for this newlywed couple and the life ahead of them!

I hope you enjoy these highlights from their big day...

matt & deana's "classic movie" themed wedding
On March 31, 2012, Matt and Deana tied the knot in Libertyville, IL. They are a wonderful couple and Chad and I couldn't be more happy for them! We were certainly blessed that day by so many genuine friends and incredibly tight-knit family members sharing in celebration of life & love. There was plenty of laughter in the air, loads of dancing on the floor (even dance-offs!), and crafty hand-made details that creatively completed their "old classic movie" theme.

It's been a few months since their big day, but these photos are DEFinitely worth sharing anyway. Here are some of our favorite highlights from their gorgeous wedding day. Enjoy...

1920s deco-inspired wedding print
Kristal & Rob wanted to get creative with the printed pieces for their wedding. We were so excited to work with them throughout the entire process! They were planning a 1920s art deco-inspired wedding and wanted all of their printed communications to play into that theme. Together, we came up with a style that was classy & elegant, with a bit of a modern twist.

You can check out their creative "telegram" save-the-date postcards in this previous post. Above are a few shots of their z-fold wedding invitations. The design was fun and functional: the white section was a tear-off response card. This process also included the design of the rehearsal dinner invitations, ceremony programs, ceremony seat signs, reception place cards, various borders to be used on clever little memos, cake flags, and even the thank you cards. I love when everything is tied together so nicely!

Kristal and Rob were married on Friday! Here are a few beautiful photos taken by their wedding photographers (Ideal Impressions) of some of the printed pieces in action...
