Blackhawk Country Club Madison Wedding {Bridget + Chris}

Bridget and Chris has a mix of classic and modern for their Blackhawk wedding. Black tuxes and cheese curds never mingled so well.

Cheese curds, apple pie, lakeside dock, laughter, flying lanterns, and a very friendly dog. That is a lot to pack into any day, especially a wedding. But Bridget + Chris don’t seem to hold back on life, and so their wedding was a natural extension of their “go full steam” approach to living; full of great food, great dancing, and lots of celebrating!

Nothing beats the clouds of a good rain storm in Southern Wisconsin. These golden beauties came out just as the sun was setting at Blackhawk country club for some portraits before dancing started.
