The overall theme and love of this wedding was breathtaking! Jessica and Joe were married in Milwaukee, Wisconsin at the classy Wisconsin Club. This is where Beau and fellow photographer Trine met up with our lovely bride and groom on the morning of their wedding! The Wisconsin Club is a stunning location to get ready. The chandlers and floral wallpaper gave the morning a vintage Victorian feel, with plenty of space for everyone.
Beau and Trine entered the room where Jessica was surrounded by her ladies, all preparing for the big day! Jessica was smiling over the present she’d received from Joe, a beautiful record player! She laughed as she held up a receipt from the Bedford Inn, their first date. Jessica slipped into her strapless, form fitting dress,the bead detailing was stunning. She looked beautiful! Donning her Adriana Papell boutique shoes, she was ready to go!
They then ventured over to where Joe was with his guys, he himself was opening the thoughtful gifts from Jessica! She had wrapped little candies,  each one with a labelled with a saying! For example, the red hots said: ‘You are red hot’! Joe was soon in his suit, and had slipped on his socks that had little pizza slices on them! He was ready to marry the love of his life.
Beau situated Jessica in front of the Wisconsin Club amongst the gardens, she impatiently waited for Joe to come up to her. It was the first time they would see each other on their wedding day! He soon approached, in his navy blue suit, and black tie, smiling as he viewed his beautiful bride. Beau and Trine entered the Club again, giving the lovely couple some time alone before the ceremony. They entered the reception room and were stunned by the beauty of the space! It was a theatre-style wedding, with a twist of a music theme! The theatre stood at the far end with the maroon curtain drawn. The flowers on the tables matched the color of the curtain, and were sprinkled with flowers of navy blue to match the wedding colors! The seating cards were ticket stubs, each person assigned a table with the name of a band! The whole reception was tied together so perfectly, such a beautifully unique wedding!
It was soon time to journey to the church for the ceremony, the church was a majestic building with ornate molding and architecture. The touching talk was given, and the two traded rings, sealing the deal with a kiss. The audience clapped as they journeyed up the aisle, introduced as Mr. and Mrs. Pepsico! After the ceremony the wedding party piled onto a bus, which took them down town to the Milwaukee Art Museum! Being that it was such a beautiful autumn day, the wings on the museum were extended - making for amazing images! The autumn colors were so vibrant this year, and as they walked down Third Ward, the twist of the vintage houses and autumn colors were stunning. This is one of our favorite spots in Milwaukee for its wonderful beauty. With this amazing couple, it was even better! The party bus then dropped them off at the Wicked Hop, a bar right across from Beau’s favorite breakfast place, Cafe Benelux! The wedding party enjoyed a drink while Beau and Trine led the newly married couple down to the canals and public market to capture some shots.
The bus came to a halt at their final stop, the reception at the Wisconsin Club. The room was filled with the laughter of friends, enjoying the elegance of the evening. Gourmet cupcakes spotted the desert table, surrounding a personal cake for the bride and groom. Waiters served delicious hors d’oeuvres. Personalized drinks created laughs: Jessica’s Ginger Sour, and Joe’s Brandy Old Fashion. Touching emotional speeches were given, topped with a heathy spoonful of laughter. Guests filled the photo booth, with the lovely background of mint chevron, it made for fantastic images! As Joe and Jessica swirled across the dance floor, enjoying their first dance - you could tell they were so in love. What a stunning wedding, and a wonderful couple! ~ Natalee
