Madison Wedding at the Overture Center :: Monica + Alex

Monica and Alex celebrated their wedding on a very sunny day in July in Madison, WI. Monica was a stunning bride and Alex (along with his groomsmen) were looking pretty sharp, as well.

Their ceremony took place at Luther Memorial Church in Madison and the rest of the evening was celebrated at the Overture Center. It was amazing to see how far friends and family had traveled from in order to witness two people who are dear to them say their "I do's".

Below are some of my top favorites from their day. Once all the photos have uploaded to my online gallery, I'll be adding a link at the end of this post - in case you want to see even more images!

Jan and Joe's Wedding

It's always a little risky to have an outdoor wedding in Wisconsin - at any time of the year, really. But from a photographer's perspective, it is a risk that is totally worth taking because rain or shine your photos will be better!

Jan and Joe decided they would risk it. They got married at Olbrich Botanical Gardens in Madison in mid-July and from the time they arrived there, the dark clouds just sat overhead... waiting to pour down rain on the beautiful little white-chaired seating area they had set up. But believe it or not the rain waited until about 5 minutes after they were announced as husband and wife. Crazy!

Overall, it was a great day that Kelly and I were so glad to be a part of. Joe and Jan took us around downtown Madison to some of their favorite hangout spots as a couple so we could capture the memories while they were dressed in their wedding attire. It was one of those weddings that we can look back on with great memories, even though we were only the photographers. =)

Thanks, Jan and Joe!
