CAH-RAZY is the best way to describe the party I witnessed for Caitlin and Adam's gorgeous Milwaukee wedding. When I shot Caitlin and Adam's engagement session in Door County back in June, I had a suspicion their wedding was going to be an absolute blast filled immense amounts of laughter and celebration. From a miniature cookie monster, a runaway flower girl, an adorable silly-faced ring bearer, a flying bride, to a striptease by the groom....It certainly didn't disappoint. What I didn't expect, was the amazing heartfelt tears of shear joy from every nook and cranny during the wedding day. Aside from heavy bouts of laughing, this wedding photographer fully admits to shedding a tear behind the lens on more than one occasion.
As for the wedding; We couldn't have asked for a better day...OK! Maybe a bit warmer weather, and certainly more sun in the morning. By the afternoon, the clouds gave way to a glorious sun-filled blue sky. I started my day at Erik of Norway Salon Spa as the girls were getting all beautified. The Lumen Christi Catholic Church in Mequon provided a beautiful, wide open, backdrop for the ceremony, and we shot some amazing outdoor portraits at the Joan of Arc Chapel on the Marquette Campus and the Third Ward Riverfront. The reception? WOW! is the one word the sums up the Milwaukee Grain Exchange. It had been nearly eight years since I had last seen a wedding in this space, and it's changed so much since then. The Bartolotta Catering Company has done a marvelous job renovating the space. Another word that comes to mind is 'opulent', as was evident by the constantly dropping jaws as guests entered the ballroom. Then there is Bartolotta's catering. OH MY! The Grain Exchange ambiance and Bartolotta's amazing menu are a match made in heaven.
After a wedding such as this, it's hard to imagine anything could be more perfect. With that, I made the decision to make this the third and final Featured Wedding of 2009. You can find Caitlin and Adam's extended slideshow by selecting This Link or going to the Galleries Menu above.
As with all of my wedding couples, I feel so blessed to have been a part of this amazing day. I really do have the best job in the world. :) Much love, many blessings and Happy Holidays to Caitlin, Adam and their family and friends.
