third ward milwaukee wedding: grace + dane

grace and dane took over milwaukee’s third ward with a second line parade ushering guests from a beautiful ceremony at skylight music theatre to dinner at black swan. every element of the day was personal, music-infused, and stylish (i mean, look at that christopher palu dress grace wore), and it was one incredible kick-off to my 2019 wedding season. i adore grace and dane and their genuine warmth and contagious kindness. they’re so down to earth and depsite being together 17 years, they look at each other as if they fell in love yesterday. i’m not even kidding; it’s beautiful to witness.

shout-out to an AMAZING team of vendors. what a joy to work with people like this:
