Andrea + Nick Wedding // Charles Allis Museum Milwaukee // Milwaukee Ale House Grafton

Meet Andrea + Nick. These two are among my favorites and are an incredibly sweet couple from Milwaukee. They married on hot afternoon in Milwaukee this Saturday and happen to be ridiculously creative individuals. With their family, friends, & each other; together they all created quite the creatively awesome wedding!
I couldn’t have been more stoked to shoot their outdoor ceremony at the Charles Allis Museum and their after party at the Milwaukee Ale House in Grafton.
Here are a few of my favorite frames from the day. Enjoy!

Their gifts to each other were inspired by Blake Shelton’s ‘Honey Bee’& neither of them realized they had both chosen the same song to model their gifts after. …swoon …

Your Favorite Part of the Day? Rounding the corner of the garden and seeing how beautiful everything was and seeing Nicholas waiting for me at the end of the aisle, I also loved Nicholas’ amazing wedding gift of a wine rack him built himself filled with 8 bottles of wine to open at different important points in our lives
