2018 wouldn’t have been complete without an intimate, low-key wedding at our beautiful Capitol. Amy and Tanner then celebrated their love at an elegant and lively bash at Park Hotel!

A Wes Anderson-inspired Camp Wandawega wedding? Yes, please. Katey and Sean's celebration is perhaps one of the coolest wedding's we've had the privilege of coordinating. From the Rocky wedding march to the decadent S'mores station, no detail was left behind and every guest had a great time.

We loved planning Alex & Phil's beautiful July 1 wedding at Noah's Event Venue. And we'll never turn down an opportunity to eat from some delicious food carts! Great photos Derrick Look!

Alex & Phil had an amazing day full of love, fun, food trucks, bags and some mad dancing out on the floor. Happy to be part of their day and document everything.

We couldn't have asked for a more picture perfect day than Bridget & Clint's July 8 wedding at the Paoli Mill. This venue was ideal for the charming ceremony, yummy dinner and super fun reception. The bride and groom included many personal touches, from hand-me-down vintage floral overlays to a custom-designed ceremony arch that resembled their favorite bridge in Portland. Charming locale combined with an excellent party filled with love = Bridget + Clint's wedding.

We love wedding Saturdays, but on nights like tonight, we can't help but wish our fur babies were with us. I mean, look how much my Lola misses me!

We closed off a busy month of beautiful barn weddings with two of our most favorite people ever -- Kathleen and Josh who tied the knot at Over The Vines. Rachel worked closely with Kathleen and Josh for over a year to create a magical, meaningful wedding -- with great success! They even got a double rainbow -- twice!

But we couldn't have done it without the amazing staff at Over the Vines, photographer extraordinaire Laura Zastrow Photography, great entertainment from Mama Digdown's Brass Band and Milwaukee Airwaves and the luscious colorful floral of Sunborn. And we're still dreaming of all the delicious eats courtesy of Heritage Catering and Batch Bakehouse.

Congrats Josh & Kathleen! You know how to make a wedding pretty freaking special.

Last weekend we bid a fond farewell to our May weddings by toasting the adventurous and absolutely adorable Molly and Dan at their elegant and super fun Monona Terrace reception. Seriously, it was such a great time that even an inopportune fire alarm didn't stop the party!

This weekend we kicked off a month of rustic barn weddings with some breathtaking views and a lovely party (and some seriously stunning floral ) celebrating Maggie and Ryan at Bridle Barn & Gardens.

We couldn't have asked for better weather for Amy and Steve, who celebrated their wedding day with amazing family, friends and the cast from Chicago's Fiddler on the Roof (!) at Lake Windsor County Club.

Daffodil Parker's perfect pink peonies with gold accents pulled the space together and there was more delish food than could be handled.

All in all, it was a pretty terrific day. Congratulations Amy and Steve!
