This wedding was beautiful from start to finish! Beau adores the city of Menomonie, Wisconsin and all it's glory! What a unique city Menomonie is, and it was a great setting for this fun wedding celebration as two amazing people were about to get married!
I wasn't able to attend this wedding, as his regular assistant, but he had our favorite backup assistant along, Elsa! Beau could not stop talking about the absolute beauty of Ciara and Andy's special day. Beau started the day at Ciara's parents' home that sat atop a hill, overlooking the area below. It was a beautiful place to capture images of this beautiful bride, and her family. Beau found a beautifully photogenic spot to capture the emotions of Ciara and Andy's special first moment seeing eachother on this momentous day. This was such an important pause to this high-energy day! Beau was happy to capture it exactly the way Ciara and Andy wanted.
The grooms men were college football payers who are now all best friends! The boys tossed around the football before they jumped on the bus that would carry them to the ceremony venue. We love the way Andy looked at his bride throughout the ceremony. After the emotional vows and kiss, they once again hopped on the party bus and traveled to the Water Front Bar and Grill to relax a little! Despite the technical difficulties of getting to this location, Beau was able to capture hilarious moments with this fantastic bridal party!
Ciara and Andy's reception venue was the Stout Ale House in Menomonie, Wisconsin. They needed a venue that would accomodate their many friends and family. At the reception, the master of ceremonies, Bill Herman took over! Bill Herman (who is genuinely a master at his profession) worked perfectly with us to get this party roaring! Bill has such a talent at making everyone feel at ease, that Beau was able to capture great shots of this party! We are so happy that Beau had the honor of photographing this wedding! Congratulations to the bride and groom!! We wish you all the best in your move to Utah. ~Natalee
