If I were the guy who gave out awards for one of the most calm, and stress-free brides, Jessica would definitely get a trophy.  It is pretty typical for things to run behind on a wedding day.  But when the bride shows up at the ceremony site 5 minutes after the ceremony is supposed to start and the she isn’t even a little bit on edge, I find that pretty remarkable. =)

Everything took place at the Lussier Family Heritage Center outside of Madison.  Their day was so enjoyable, the location was beautiful, and so was the couple.   I think I could write a whole book about all of the things I loved about their wedding day: outdoor ceremony, amazing lighting, great reception area, great food, amazing ice cream sandwich desserts….

When the day was over and I made another one of my late night drives home from Madison, I remember thinking to myself how quickly the day went and how I wished it would have been longer so that I could have gotten to know this fun, adventurous couple better. Thanks again, Paul and Jess, for letting me be a part of your beautiful day.  And thanks to Patricia of ReJoy Photography for joining me as a second shooter.

This was one of our first weddings at Lussier, back in 2010, made with cameras and editing software several generations behind what we use now. We’ve left the photos as they were. The venue has changed less than the gear has, and if you’re looking at it for your own wedding, our Lussier Heritage Center venue guide covers everything we’ve learned there since.
