Katelin and Max are married and I could not be happier. Just one year ago we were exploring downtown Milwaukee and photographing their Engagement Session and now this adorable couple are husband and wife! Everything about their wedding was classic, elegant, and perfectly planned to make for one incredibly AMAZING day!

These two exude timeless sophistication and their wedding was a wonderful representation of them. The ladies dazzled in purplish grey J.Crew dresses and the men wore classic black tuxedos with black bow ties (very Mad Men inspired.) Not to be outdone, beautiful bride, Katelin, looked stunning in her wedding look, complete with pink Michael Kors heels and J.Crew necklace and earrings. This classic style carried on throughout the day in every aspect of the wedding. Buds ‘n Bloom created gorgeous bouquets to go along with the girls stylish looks and the reception hall was overflowing with lovely flowers and candelabras. Whichever way you look, your eyes were drawn to the beautiful golds and stunning florals. Not to mention, the desserts provided by Alpha Delights looked absolutely delicious!

Even though they live in Chicago, Katelin and Max just knew they had to have their wedding at Riverside Ballroom. To them it’s more than just a beautiful venue, it’s a special place for their family. Max’s grandfather, who was an architect (just like Max), helped design Riverside many decades ago. It was the perfect space to honor their families and celebrate one of the happiest days of their lives with the people they care about the most.

Congratulations Katelin & Max!! Wishing you so many wonderful, happy years together!!

Their wedding rings are so gorgeous!

Max surprised Katelin on the day of their wedding with a beautiful Kate Spade watch!

Mother and future Mother-in-Law letting out a few tears after seeing how beautiful Katelin looks!! Awww!!

How cool is this 1979 periwinkle blue VW Bug their uncle drove them around in after the ceremony?!

The newlyweds, Mr. & Mrs. Hanisch!!

How beautiful are Katelin’s eyes?!

Seriously, I just cannot get over that VW Bug!! It was my favorite detail of the day!

Matron of honor, Natalie, wore the bracelet Katelin gave her with the phrase, “You’re my person,” (where my Grey’s Anatomy fans at) engraved on it! So sweet to have your best friend by your side!
