Colleen & Kevin are married! Their entire day was at Turner Hall Ballroom.
The city of Milwaukee was bustling over Memorial Day weekend. The sun was out, the skies were blue and Colleen & Kevin were getting married. They had friends and family in town from all over and Milwaukee put on her best looking dress. So many times, we heard people say, “We’ve never been to Milwaukee. We love it here!” See, Kevin is a Wisconsin-Native but Colleen moved to Milwaukee from Michigan. These two met through friends while attending Marquette University.
With so many people in town for them, Colleen & Kevin put a big emphasis on celebrating with everyone. We began the day early and went right into their First Look. Colleen said it was their favorite part of the day, “… we were so excited to see each other and spend the day together. It was amazing to have a moment of intimacy that we could share together before the rest of the festivities.” From there, we walked around the Turner Hall / Old World Third Street area with the wedding party. Then, to kick things off right, everyone met at Mader’s for a beverage before the ceremony.
With all necessary photographs out-of-the-way, Colleen & Kevin were able to attend their entire cocktail hour. They drifted in and out of groups saying hello to everyone there. Their advice to future brides and grooms: “Stay true to the things that are important to you and breathe your personality as a couple into your wedding. It will make the day so special and memorable to everyone who attends.”
Here’s how we saw their day…
