John and Annalise's Backyard Wedding | Madison Wedding Photographer

Tuesday, June 5, 2018 Madison, WI, USA

I met Annalise last year when she was the Maid of Honor for Emily & Kirk's wedding. A few weeks after the wedding she called and asked us to join her and John for their wedding in Madison, Wisconsin. I couldn't have been more honored or excited!

John and Annalise's wedding day was relaxed and focused on the two of them, my favorite kind of wedding days. The ceremony was in their park like backyard, surrounded by mature trees, lots of hostas and lush foliage. Family and friends gathered around the two of them and Annalise's brother officiated their nuptials. 

Madison is the perfect climate for peony bushes and it just so happened that they were in bloom while we were there. Every thing looked gorgeous and smelt amazing! My favorite part of their ceremony was when they planted a peony bush together in their garden. 

We had such a great time celebrating their wedding and can't wait for their St. Louis ceremony the following weekend! I hope you enjoy these images as much as we enjoyed our time in Wisconsin.
