“The Skies Parted” | Edgewater Wedding Photos in Madison

Sometimes the most incredible Edgewater wedding photos in Madison come down to one moment of pure luck. We photographed this July celebration at the stunning Edgewater on Lake Mendota, and the couple’s explanation of their favorite image was a story in itself.

“We love it because of the sunset, it’s framed well, the sky is beautiful and so is the background. Moreover, the moment happened due to the luck of the skies parting just as the sun was about to set and our amazing photographer Courtney grabbing us to head out for one last round of capturing photos.”
