Madison Masonic Center Wedding | Art + Lindsey

We woke up and both felt sick to our stomachs and had pounding headaches.  It will pass, we thought.  We drove to Madison, without our usual rock-out-get-ready-to-shoot-a-wedding soundtrack playing.  We needed silence.  Breakfast was a muffin, but that didn’t even enter our bodies.  Oh Lord, please help us to make it through this day…

Somehow, with smiles on our face and energy that (we think?) fooled everyone, we made it.  Miracle.  Serious miracle.  It’s the first wedding we shot where we felt sick (and both of us, at that!).  But we were not about to let anyone know that – so we kept on smiling.  And we really did start feeling better as the day went on.  Anyhow, enough about us!

When we walked into the Madison Masonic Center to find Lindsey getting her make-up done, we immediately noticed all the beautiful light in the room.  Oooh, how we love getting ready rooms that have natural (as compared to florescent!) light.  Plus, it was just a great all-around room, with fun/crazy design (velour wallpaper!?).  Lindsey told us one of the reasons she chose this venue was because of this room – smart bride! =)

Here are a few favorites from the day:

Thank you, Arthur and Lindsey, for allowing so much time for photos (yay!) and for a fun day (seriously, we had fun, despite feeling a bit sick!) =).

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!
