Molly and Andrew’s Madison wedding at Lake Windsor Golf Club celebrated all the ways they love to be together. Friends were greeted with a bloody mary bar, lots of time to be together on the gorgeous outdoor space, and only the best in french fries.
I grew up in Madison and always love photographing weddings there – the trees seem a little wilder, the beer flows a little easier, and summer nights have the most gorgeous blue skies. Thanks, Molly and Andrew, for choosing me to be there to document your wedding!
Since moving to Minneapolis, one of the things I miss most about Madison is the capitol building. Not just because it is beautiful (and it certainly is), but because it is so open and accessible. I remember playing tag and running around there as a kid, because that was a fun way to spend a Saturday. Having a building that is so open to the people really brings government home in a new way.
Which is a long way to say that lots of people feel like that.
And that is why, on Saturday afternoons, it is covered with people – people lingering after the morning’s farmers market, other wedding parties, proms, birthdays, tourists, all enjoying the capitol.
This popularity makes it a unique opportunity to find new places to take photos around the capitol – showing the building but not the tourists, finding a new take on a 150 year old building.
This is on one of the lawns, and is a flash composite of 4 photos. The flash allows me to bring in more of the sky, and brings a more formal element to the groupings.
