My initial meeting with Jessica was via Zoom since she lives outside Milwaukee. Jessica is a lovely young woman who recently got engaged to her best friend. During our meeting, we talked for over an hour about her vision for the wedding, her story with Tyler, and her experience traveling abroad. Jessica & Tyler met whilst attending university and have been together for 7 years. They’ve traveled to many places and spent a year in China; that’s when Tyler proposed to her.
The Paine Art Center and Gardens were recommended to them by a family member. Jessica & Tyler fell in love with the historic estate, the breathtaking botanical gardens, and the classic European-style architecture.
Jessica & Tyler envisioned a simple yet elegant wedding, an outdoor ceremony, live music, and a wedding where Sasha, their furry friend, is welcomed.
This was my first time covering at Paine Art Center and Gardens. The staff was extremely friendly, professional, and accommodating; I was shown around as soon as I got there, which made it easier to take beautiful pictures of the couple.
