Fountain Banquet Hall

The wedding of Shelby & Nicolas

Shelby & Nicolas have been together since high school. During our initial meeting, Shelby mentioned how important family pictures are to both. She also mentioned that she wanted to recreate some of her mother’s wedding pictures for herself.

She described her style as elegant, romantic, and candid with a touch of formal.

“Getting ready” photos and the ceremony both took place at the historic St Luke’s Episcopal Church in Racine.

I had to start the bridal session outside the church, the arches, the dark-colored brick of the outside, the beautiful doors and garden made a perfect backdrop.

Bridal party’s pictures, as well as the bridal session, continued at Petrifying Springs Park, which was a few minutes away from the Fountain Banquet Hall.

The reception took place at Fountain Banquet Hall. First dance, the father-daughter dance, and the mother-son dance came later.

After speeches and dinner, Shelby, Nicolas, and I stepped outside across from venue for a mini sunset session.

Bouquet Toss and garter toss before the dance floor was open to the guests.
