"Yo VIP....Let's kick it"

Amy and Ryan's whole wedding day was a study in multi-faceted interests and talents. It kicked off at the absolutely GORGEOUS Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist in downtown Milwaukee. You have to check this place out, it is just stunning...and the Crucifix is quite possibly one of the most amazing and interesting I've seen.
From the ceremony the bridal party and I ventured on to Red Arrow Park where Amy, Ryan, and the group laced up their skates and headed on to the ice. Ryan is a hockey player and his skills on the ice were apparent. Amy was no slouch on skates either. I, on the other hand, just wore my shoes on the ice. Probably against some Red Arrow Park rule, I'm sure....but I'm positive neither Amy nor Ryan would have been overly impressed with my shots had I been shooting on skates!
We hit up the Calatrava as well as Third Ward. I have to say, I absolutely love a relaxed, "up for anything" bridal party. No rushing, very open to suggestions, and throwing in a few of their own made for some really cool pictures.
The reception was held at The Astor Hotel and the ice theme definitely carried over, from the monogrammed ice luge for martinis to the little icicle touches on their cake.
Amy and Ryan's reception was an absolute blast. Their dinner music was provided by local impersonator Downtown Harrison who was just fabulous (and a super-nice guy! He's going to be on America's Got Talent if you want to check it out!). After dinner, guest were treated to the live act Chapter 2. They were great as well...and they had LASERS. It was awesome!
But the best part of the night had to be when the groom picked up the guitar himself and he and two of his groomsmen played a few songs. They were really wonderful, and it was a great way to end the night.
Amy and Ryan, I had a great time capturing your event. Enjoy your sneak peek and enjoy your honeymoon!!!
