A Joyful Wedding Adventure: Lydia & Mark’s St.James 1868, Milwaukee, WI
Lydia and Mark planned an unforgettable wedding day with multiple stops across Milwaukee, WI. With their vast wedding party in tow, they needed a bus big enough to fit everyone!
The day began at Lydia’s friend’s home, where the bridal party got ready surrounded by laughter and so much fun. The first look happened right outside the front door, where the couple shared heartfelt vows and exchanged letters—a beautiful, intimate moment before the whirlwind of the day took off.
But the groomsmen couldn’t resist a little spontaneity! Across the street, they jumped into a quick five-minute basketball game with some locals—because why not add a little extra fun to the day?
The Stops Along the Way
📍 First Stop: Their New Home The couple recently bought a house together, so we took photos in front of their new home—a special milestone to remember.
📍 Second Stop: St. James 1868 A quick stop at their venue, St. James 1868, to pick up a few things became another photo opportunity. No time wasted—just more beautiful memories!
📍 Third Stop: Milwaukee Riverwalk Downtown provided the perfect urban backdrop for wedding party portraits and romantic bride & groom shots by the river.
☕ Coffee Break at Discourse Coffee Workshop A refreshment stop was necessary with such a big (and energetic!) group. The party recharged before heading to our following location.
📚 Final Stop: Central Library of Milwaukee We made our way to the stunning library interiors for some portraits, which gave the bride and groom a cinematic, almost actor-like glow against the library’s grand architecture.
Before walking down the aisle, Lydia shared a sweet moment with her father—a quiet, emotional highlight before the outdoor ceremony on the deck.
Can we talk about the reception details? Lydia handcrafted every centerpiece herself—months of love and dedication went into them! As a parting gift, guests received flower seeds, a beautiful way to let their wedding day bloom in the years to come.
Lydia and Mark’s wedding celebrated love, laughter, and adventure from heartfelt moments to spontaneous basketball games. Cheers to the newlyweds!
