Intimate wedding at the lovely space at Gallery C in Dubuque, IA Mill District. Dalena & Devon were so much fun. I loved how respectful and relaxed they are with each other and with other people. Plus, I had this super cute bonus subject. New Family <3
1st Family Portrait 🙂
Gallery C is such a cool space for weddings.
I recently had to dig this wedding out of the archives for my new wedding website ( http://luminouslifeweddings.com ) and OMG, I just really loved these. I figured I would share again. The thing I loved about this wedding was the energy of the couple and the light and the colors and the venue…..all that vintage machinery with eastern light at Star Brewery in Dubuque is just a magical combination. The Stone Cliff Winery has some magic too. The barrel room is kind of dark and mysterious with super high ceiling and brick walls lined with wine casks. The reception room is beautifully lit with that aforementioned eastern light. ….sigh….
Okay, onto the pictures…..
Beautiful lace mermaid style wedding dress is perfect for Genevieve at Star Brewery in Dubuque, IA and that bouquet…so elegant!
Beautiful old broach on wedding bouquet in Dubuque IA
Gorgeous table setting. Elegant with touch of rustic. It looks so light, soft and classic. Pairs well with the brick walls and the wine 🙂
lol this little was NOT having it…
The gorgeous lighting inside the Star Bewery by the vintage machinery is crazy awesome.
This one is one of my all time favorites because i am so drawn to strong compositional framing and lines. THIS is fine art wedding storytelling right here. *head puffs up. pricks it with pin and moves on*
Flower girl is totally lost int he dance moment, twirling her fancy dress. hahaha
A beautiful wedding cake inside Stone Cliff.
Elegant and modern place cards with burlap, gold and pinks…beautiful.
I love this groomsmen shot with the groom inside the brewery in Dubuque, IA.
Star Brewery building is an icon for Dubuque weddings.
Wonderful wedding decor with small mason jars and lovely florals.
Super cool couple, Andrea and Jacob- easy going and great conversation. We had fun though I ran them just about out of gas, physically, lol- we braved mosquitos and tourists for these great images at Casper Bluff Land & Water Reserve and downtown Galena, IL Main Street. I’m looking forward to their wedding in 2017.
GORGEOUS. Their eyes….wow.
Sunset at Casper Bluff in Galena, IL- one of my favorite places to watch the sun set.
Omg the color is just……lush
Beautiful scenes near the historic Post Office building looking on to the stairs and St. Micheal Church‘s steeple in downtown Galena.
Galena’s Main St. is such a nice place for a stroll…especially when I escape from editing and sneak downtown for an ice cream cone from American Old Fashioned Ice Cream Parlor. (What can I say? Living in Galena has it’s perks.)
