Shooting (in a Good Way)

It Happened One Night! 

Breayna and Sean Cotter were wedded on Saturday, September 19th in downtown Madison, Wisconsin.  The ceremony and reception was held at the Orpheum Theater on State Street.  The Orpheum is a historic and beautiful vaudeville era theater and Madison landmark.  Bre and Sean used this lovely backdrop to create one of the classiest and most stylish weddings I have seen.  Everything from the procession down the lobby staircase to the delicious food in the glow of the silver screen to the perfect flowers created an environment that recalled glamourous Hollywood.

Greater than all that, though, was the bride, her groom, the bridal party and family.  They could have all been transported directly to an Oscars after party in the ’40s and looked completely at home.  Everyone looked fantastic, but the crown jewel was Breayna.  She was an absolute knockout in her gown with period brooch, clutch and veil.  Photos couldn’t really do her justice!

I again want to thank Bre and Sean for making me a part of their wonderful day.  Here is a sneak peek at some photos from Saturday. 

I have honestly been looking forward to this for 9 months, and so far I have not been dissappointed.  First of all, downtown Madison is great.  Second, the Orpheum promises to be a pretty good venue for a wedding.  Old theaters have no shortage of cool places to go.  Last, Bre and Sean have really worked to include me in the party.  I always enjoy going to rehearsal dinners and getting to hang out with family and friends in a calm and intimate setting.  Really makes me wish my camera did video.  Anyway, enough with the rambling.  Bring on the photos:

Last but not least, I found an absolutely awesome gift bag waiting in my room when I arrived.  I just had to take some pictures of it.  One of the items was a small paper bag with the cutest little sticker on it.  When I looked inside I found the most welcome of items after dinner and a beer…a fudge brownie!  Say What!?!

Bre and Sean are getting married in one of my favorite towns on earth; Madison, Wisconsin.  I will be behind the camera for their day and I am very excited!  I spent some time with the happy couple back in April and had a great time.  Here are some samples from the day.  See you guys soon!
