Wedding :: First Look, Part I

  • Facebook
  • Twitter

I’m so excited to finally have the wedding photos organized and ready to share with you! We had the majority of our photos taken before the ceremony. This was important to us because we wanted us to be able to join our guests soon after the ceremony and have time to hang out with everyone before dinner!

We took our ‘first look’ photos at the site of our ceremony – Olin Park in Madison, WI. Olin Park is this beautiful place of lush greenery and towering trees situated right on Lake Monona. There is a pavilion available for rent from the city which was an old barn that has been fixed up for events.

I was about 90 minutes late for our first look – the product of having to set up the entire venue ourselves (no wedding planner or staff on our budget!) and also having six ladies getting hair done and dressed. I think Pat started to sweat a little! Better late than never, right?

Our wedding photos were done by the fabulous Kinsey and Josh Mhire of Kinsey Mhire Photography and Sincerely, Kinsey. They also did our engagement photos. I cannot say enough nice things about the Mhires! It was absolutely wonderful working with them. They are so professional and kind and put us right at ease. They really captured our day and our love in a way that exceeded my wildest expectations!

Expect to see a ridiculous amount of wedding photos over the next few weeks. It was just too hard to narrow things down. Hey, it’s my blog so I’ll share photos if I want to!
