Bride and Groom kiss in spring with blossoms on trees at Lake Windsor Country Club near Madison.

A Snowy Spring Wedding Lake Windsor Golf Course | Madison WI

We woke up to yard covered with snow.  Really?  Snow in April?  Thankfully, on the drive to Madison, we watched the weather change from snow to sleet to rain to nothing… sort of.  It stayed drizzling on and off throughout the day.  Kelsey was a prepared bride, though, and she surveyed her friends for ideas of where to go for an indoor photo shoot, then she and Rob made a last-minute(ish) reservation for a party bus so that they could bring their wedding party to Erin’s Snug Irish Pub for group photos.  Even though we did all the group shots inside, brave bride Kelsey, endured some cold (really cold!), windy weather to capture beautifully-lit outdoor shots… I’m still shivering thinking about it.

Both the ceremony and reception were held at Lake Windsor Golf Club.  Lake Windsor has tons of windows, which equates to some great light – we loved this venue.  It is one of many venues we have worked in around Madison. A few other highlights of the day included: an iPad sound system (Ray was so excited) =); the sun peeked through for about 5 minutes, right as the ceremony began; Rob and Kelsey updated everyone on Twitter with an iPhone pic (we thought for sure that they’d make the update a part of their ceremony); and the sweetest speech from Kelsey’s father (I held back my tears).

Thank you, Rob and Kelsey, for allowing us to celebrate with you!  We hope you enjoyed your 18-day honeymoon in Hawaii! Lucky newlyweds. =)

      

And I don’t do this often, but since the it was the groom’s band that played at their wedding, I shot a low res little video of Rob playing with his band, the Red Hot Horn Dawgs.

Ceremony & Reception: Lake Windsor Golf Club (loved it)

We're on a treasure hunt for beauty. We want our images to take you right back to the grand moments of your day, and to the milliseconds that flew past, the ones you couldn't stop to breathe and look around and appreciate while they were happening. We don't invent those moments. We recognize them.

Our couples trust us to document the people and moments that matter most to them, which frees them up to spend the day with each other instead of with us.

We're rooted near Viroqua, in Wisconsin's Driftless Region, a small foodie-and-outdoors town that shaped how we see beauty in everyday moments. From there we travel across the state, with Madison and Door County among our most-photographed areas, alongside Milwaukee, Spring Green and La Crosse. Nineteen years in, we still don't take the trust of a wedding day lightly.

we are ray + kelly!
