Like a tall glass of champagne – Colleen & Micah’s understated, elegant, wonderful madison wedding

Minneapolis Wedding Photographer | Becca Dilley — Wed, 06 Oct 2010 10:00:33 +0000

When I arrived to take photos of Colleen and Micah, Jessica (Colleen’s sister-in-law) remarked that in her gown, Colleen looks like a tall glass of champagne. What a fine description for the totally elegant but understated charm that was Colleen & Micah’s wedding. That same simple charm speak a bit also to their relationship – quietly steady, constantly classic. I was so fortunate to able to document their wedding in Madison.

Ceremony: Allen Centennial Gardens
Reception: L’etoile Restaurant
Cake: Prairie Cafe and Bakery

Idyllic rural Wisconsin wedding at the Creamery {Hanna & Wes}

Minneapolis Wedding Photographer | Becca Dilley — Wed, 15 Sep 2010 08:00:02 +0000

Hanna & Wes chose so well for their wedding – they chose a great location in the Creamery, they chose heartfelt vows for their ceremony, they chose to be surrounded by very loving family and friends, and they chose the perfect partner to share it all with. Hanna and Wes spent years planning for their wedding, and I couldn’t be more happy for them and the perfect day they chose.

Portrait of Wisconsin Artisan Cheesemaker Calendar preview

Minneapolis Wedding Photographer | Becca Dilley — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 08:00:50 +0000

Earlier this summer, I had the honor of driving around Wisconsin with Jeanne Carpenter (cheese blogger at CheeseUnderground.com) as she interviewed artisan cheesemakers and I took photos for a calendar she orchestrated for Wisconsin Cheese Originals. The Calendar is now on sale ( $19.95 at www.WisconsinCheeseOriginals.com) and the calendar will also be for sale at the Second Annual Wisconsin Original Cheese Festival, November 5 – 7, at the Monona Terrace in Madison (a must go to for anyone who loves Wisconsin cheese). I am so proud of the photos I took of truly world-class artisans for this calendar, as well as the fact that I milked a goat along the way.

Among the cheesemakers was Wisconsin cheesemaker Andy Hatch (featured on the cover), holding the amazing Pleasant Ridge Reserve, which just won Best of Show at the American Cheese Society annual competition in Seattle. Go buy this cheese. And then buy a calendar – it would make a great gift set

This photo illustrates the difficulties of taking photos at a goat farm – you will see Jeanne holding my light, a goat about to bite my camera, another goat investigating my camera bag which I hid in their feed bin, and me laughing hysterically.

Even though Heather & Mike met in Philadelphia, where they still live, they decided to have their wedding in Madison, where Heather had gone to college. The Monona Terrace was a great place for their reception, especially since it offered this amazing view of the capitol at dusk!

Wisconsin Farm House Wedding of Friends {Ian & Liza}

Minneapolis Wedding Photographer | Becca Dilley — Thu, 29 Jul 2010 10:00:03 +0000

Sometimes friendships just sneak up on you: I can’t really place when I became friends with Ian & Liza, but over the years of high school, summer camp, and then as adults, we just sort of fell into a comfortable friendship that I have grown to put the highest value on. I was honored when they asked me to photograph their wedding in Madison, but I also knew that a challenge was upon me: Ian doesn’t smile. Luckily for me (and for Ian) it turns out that when you marry your best friend, you are pretty happy, so he and Liza were all smiles all day, surrounded by an abundance of friends and family to celebrate with. Thanks for so many years of friendship, and I am so happy to see two good friends so happy together.

Ceremony & Reception: Quivey’s Grove

When I wonder how I became a photographer, I look at my family

Minneapolis Wedding Photographer | Becca Dilley — Mon, 31 May 2010 08:00:04 +0000

My grandfather took thousands of photographs in the 50s through the 80s. His old camera was my first manual camera, and when I look at this photo he took of his large extended Italian family over breakfast in the 1950′s, I have a good understanding of where my “people wrangling” skills came from.

Cave aged bandaged cheddar {daily photo}

Minneapolis Wedding Photographer | Becca Dilley — Tue, 25 May 2010 08:00:28 +0000

Traditionally, cheddar cheese was bandaged (wrapped in cloth) and cave aged. It is pretty hard to find a cheddar that is made that way and well balanced, which is why Mont Bleu creamery’s cheese is so spectacular. This is the cheesemaker, Willie Lehner, pulling a plug to test it.

Madison Engagement Photographer – Katherine & Ben’s downtown spring engagement photos

Minneapolis Wedding Photographer | Becca Dilley — Mon, 10 May 2010 08:00:18 +0000

When Katherine and Ben were planning their wedding, they thought about all the places in Madison where they wanted to take their wedding photos. But they couldn’t think of a wedding venue that suited their personalities, so they decided to go to all their favorite places in Madison for engagement photos, and have their wedding in the Wisconsin Dells. Since we had a long list of places to go (Bascom Hill, Memorial Union, State Street, Capitol, Monona Terrace) I was very happy that we had such a perfect spring day in Madison for photos.

Lisa & Paul – Wisconsin wedding in a barn

Minneapolis Wedding Photographer | Becca Dilley — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:43:47 +0000

I had a great time photographing Lisa & Paul’s wedding in Wisconsin. I hadn’t met them before the wedding (they live out of state) and so it was wonderful finding them so fun to work with. They had their reception in a lovely church in Rice Lake, Wisconsin, and then the reception was in an actual barn (the Enchanted Barn)
