From Sacred Vows to City Celebrations

The day began with thoughtful details and quiet anticipation. For instance, we loved seeing personal touches like the couple’s rings resting on a vintage UW Badger book. After preparations, everyone gathered for the sacred ceremony. The couple exchanged their heartfelt vows, surrounded by the church’s beautiful architecture and the love of their family and friends.

Following the ceremony, we explored downtown for portraits. As a downtown Madison wedding photographer, we love how the Wisconsin State Capitol provides a stunning, classic backdrop. In fact, the wedding party’s energy was absolutely infectious! Later, the celebration continued with a joyful reception. The newlyweds made their grand entrance to the cheers of their guests, kicking off an evening of celebration.
