Last Thursday afternoon, I had the honor of shooting Joel and Karen’s intimate wedding ceremony in the International Gardens at Riverside park in La Crosse. Dawn Silva joined me for a couple of hours to photograph the ceremony (officiated by Joel’s dad and attended by the rest of their parents) and then to take pictures for a couple hours around the park and at the Pump House. I really loved everything about this wedding, the simpleness, the locations, Karen’s veil…I could go on and on, but I’ll just post the pictures.
The following two pictures were taken by Dawn.
This photo is one of my most favorite candid moments that I have ever captured. I did not set up this shot in any way. We were walking to take some pictures further in the park and I turned around to say something when I saw this moment. How perfect.
As I mentioned before, we ended at the Pump House, which they had reserved in case it rained. I was very pleasantly surprised to find all of the updates they have made, including new flooring. It really is a wonderful option for an inside wedding ceremony.
Karen and Joel, thank you so much! I enjoyed every minute! 🙂 I wish you two much happiness with your new life together.
