I first met Dawn and Jayson in a coffee shop in Madison. I
was there to shoot their engagement photos. We had a fun time exploring the
city and the capital building. They planned a classic Door County wedding where
their friends and family could have a mini-vacation.
The morning of the wedding, Jayson and his groomsmen went
out to the golf course where Jayson scored a hole-in-one. It was really
amazing, but everyone had to keep on reminding him that there was something else
important happening that day.
Dawn and the girls got ready in one of the rooms. We did photos of the bride and bridesmaids inside since it was windy
outside, and we didn’t want her to mess up her hair. Then we did a “first look”
where Dawn and Jayson could touch but didn’t see each other. I could tell how
much in love by how nervous they both were.
The ceremony was outside with a beautiful back drop of the
bay and the tall trees around the Landmark. After the ceremony, we went down
the road to get some shots on the beach and in the trees. With a storm coming
in, the clouds were amazing.
The reception was very nicely put together and included fun
things for the guests like a popcorn bar, but the best part of the evening was
the dancing! After the mother/father dances, they took a break and then Dawn
came out in a “dancing with the stars” outfit. And the two of them lit up the
dance floor with a custom salsa dance they had been practicing for months.
It was a beautiful day. It was a lot of fun getting to know
Dawn and Jayson throughout the process. I wish them all the best.
