Marie and Jonathan ~ Milwaukee County Historical Society wedding

Milwaukee_Wedding_Photographer_mj001

Downtown Milwaukee weddings make my heart spin. There’s something classic, gorgeous and timeless about a ceremony at Marquette’s Gesu and a reception to follow at the Milwaukee County Historical Society. Marie and Jonathan met as students at Marquette University so it was only natural they’d return to the area for their special day. I couldn’t have asked for a prettier spring day and let’s be honest, this bride is beautiful, adorable and with that smile, she makes everyone laugh right alongside her. A special thanks to my second photographer for the day, Jen — her photos go above and beyond completing this couple’s story.

Congratulations, Marie and Jonathan! It was such an honor documenting your day.

I squealed when I walked in and saw Diana doing Marie’s makeup! (Beauty by Diana) She is amazing. Ladies, I’ve never seen Diana’s brides look anything less than stunning. Call her, she does beauty in the best way.

Marie and Jonathan got ready at the Hyatt — beautiful views, beautiful hotel.

I fell in love with the moment Marie’s father saw her for the first time, just minutes before the ceremony.

I love the next two shots Jen took from the back of the church as Marie walked down the aisle.

Sometimes, the dress gets stepped on. 😉

I think at this point, Jen and I gave each other the “Could she be any prettier?” look. Stunning, Marie!
