Celebration & togetherness ~
In 2020 A & M were married and were only able to have a few select guests present. Three years later they decided to have a vow renewal to celebrate with all of their family and friends. Everyone treated the event like a full wedding, everyone dressed in their best. It was amazing to see the great turnout of people for a vow renewal 3 years after the wedding. It was hard not to tear up during their renewed vows and the new vows spoken to each other. They chose simplicity and togetherness as the theme of the day; rejoicing with everyone present.
Their details ~
They held the event The Waters located in Oshkosh, WI, and it was THE most classy event this summer by far. Beautiful chandeliers hung all around, lots of gorgeous light came through the windows. The lake provided a stunning view for the onlookers. M had two wedding dresses, one from their 2020 ceremony and a light, summer gown for the vow renewal. The back of her 2020 dress is breathtaking! The sparkles on it were so gorgeous in the evening light. She chose white florals for her
Vow renewal: the day unfolds ~
Before everything started they read their vows in private with only myself and another photographer present. They had a simple, sweet ceremony with all their loved ones, looking out over Lake Winnebago. M presented to their parents in thankfulness of all they did for them. And A & M were able to have their first dances, with each other and with their parents. They had a lovely dinner planned in the upper ballroom. We watched the gulls dance over the lake as the sun set and we walked out to the pier to take some more romantic photos. On the pier A & M twirled to a more private first dance before heading back to enjoy all their guests.
