What photographer doesn’t love shooting in Milwaukee?  Every turn yields something amazing … crumbling walls, historic architecture, water, reflecting sun.  Love it.

Alicia and Mike were married in Milwaukee on Saturday and they got ready at the Iron Horse Hotel.  Easily one of the coolest hotels I’ve seen.

Reactions during speeches … always my favorite part of the reception.

Mike and Alicia’s ceremony was held at Calvary Presbyterian Church and the reception was at Renaissance Place.  We headed to the historic third ward for photos … right where we shot their engagement session last year September (ignore the fact that I used a fish eye lens if you go back and look at that session — I was still figuring out my style!).  That area is overflowing with inspiration, but sometimes you have to leave the beaten path.  We saw no less than a half dozen other wedding parties shooting in the same area.

Mike and Alicia are two seemingly opposites who attract each other.  Alicia is more shy while Mike is super outgoing.  After shooting their engagement session I knew they’d be awesome to work with at the wedding.  Their entire huge wedding party was also really nice and awesome.  Sometimes it’s hard to get a huge wedding party’s attention, but these guys were nothing but great.  And I loved them for it!

Congrats, Mike and Alicia!  Thanks for being sweet and nice and letting me be a part of it all :)
