I’m so excited to share Crystal and Josh’s beautiful Madison Public Library wedding! I first met Crystal years ago at Pure Barre Green Bay. We were both training to become instructors at the same time. Crystal is so kind and funny and I remember thinking she would be a great Pure Barre teacher. We passed our tests and spent the next few years together teaching classes. Crystal is also a school teacher and I visited her class a few times to talk to her students about podcasting. Over the years we’ve bonded over our love of reading and she even came to my bachelorette party!

Crystal and Josh first met in college at UW-Madison at The City Bar (fun fact – Josh’s parents actually met there too years ago when the bar had a different name!) They had been together for years when Josh proposed back in Madison while on a trip. While planning their wedding the couple had moved to Florida then back to the Midwest. I love that they chose Madison to be the backdrop for their wedding. It’s the city where they met and fell in love!

With Crystal being a teacher, the Madison Public Library felt like the perfect choice to hold their ceremony. The white room was covered in windows with beautiful views of downtown Madison. During the ceremony, Crystal and Josh exchanged personal vows to one another while their guests wrote well-wishes and favorite memories for the couple to enjoy later.

Following the ceremony, guests headed to The Park Hotel for a night of celebration. Nestled in the heart of Madison, this stunning venue boasted breathtaking views of the cityscape and the capitol building right across the street. As the sun set, Crystal and Josh’s reception space transformed into one big party. The ballroom came alive with the sounds of laughter, joyous conversations, and the rhythmic beats of music.

It was such an honor to photograph this couple’s special day and celebrate my friend as she married the love of her life. I wish these two nothing but joy and love for the rest of their days. Congratulations Crystal and Josh!

Thanks to all the amazing wedding vendors that helped make Crystal & Josh’s big day wonderful!
