Angel and Sam's Wedding

     On June 7, 2014 I had the opportunity to capture Angel and Sam's big day in Madison, WI. The weather couldn't have been better and the day itself was simply beautiful. I had met Angel and Sam back in April after they discovered my work online and were interested in having me there to film their big day. I could tell right from the first meeting how great they were for each other. I also enjoyed their laid back, enjoying the ride attitude toward the wedding. These were definitely two people I knew I would enjoy working with.

     The big day got started for me when I arrived to Bethel Lutheran Church in Madison. Angel had been there getting ready with her bridesmaids and family so I spent some time getting shots of them having some fun and some nice shots of the church itself. I was surprised to see how big the church was once inside, but it was a beautiful setting. Sam arrived shortly after and I was able to get some nice shots of him with the guys and his mom putting the boutonniere on his suit. I was able to capture a great moment between Angel and Sam as they exchanged cards around a corner from each other so neither would see the other before the ceremony, both holding back tears as they read their respective cards. Again, I could see how great they were for each other.

     As the ceremony began, there were plenty of people that filled the seats to witness this marriage and support the newlyweds. The ceremony went off without a hitch. As for my filming end off it, things went just as planned. Following the ceremony, we all went to a park nearby to take some great pictures. The weather was great, the video turned out amazing, and everyone seemed to be having a great time. Following the park photos, I headed to the University of Wisconsin Memorial Union where the reception would be held to begin getting some detail shots and prepare for the rest of the night.

     The reception was a lot of fun to be a part of. It was my first time filming at the UW Memorial Union, which was a great place for a reception. The room was located with windows overlooking the lake behind the building and had a patio guests could access. The room itself was decorated very nicely and I could tell they put time into designing the table settings right down to the individual pictures of Angel and Sam on each table.The food was great, the music was great, and everyone seemed to have a great time dancing and enjoying the night.

     Thank you so much for letting me be a part of your big day and being able to provide you with a lasting memory of it. I wish you all the best! Congratulations, Angel and Sam!
