Surg On The Water Wedding: Angie & Doug

Angie and Doug love spending time on the water with family and friends.  What could be a better fit for them than a Surg on the Water wedding?  It was a beautiful day on Milwaukee’s riverfront and everything went off without a hitch.  Well, technically there was one hitch, but that was what everyone came to see!

We began the day at the classic Hilton City Center where everyone was getting ready. It is always convenient when the bride and groom can get ready in the same hotel.  It allows us to bounce back and forth between the two sides of the bridal party and really capture more special moments.  It’s even better when the location is as beautiful as Hilton City Center which is also a perfect location for a first look.

On the way to Surg on the Water – our eventual location for both the ceremony and reception – we stopped off downtown to do some wedding party photos and photos of just Angie and Doug.  This really helped streamline the post-ceremony timeline allowing us to capture the party and details thoroughly and allowing Angie and Doug to actually spend time with all their guests.

The reception began with moving toasts and culminated with everyone having a blast on the dance floor.  Sound by Design provided the lighting and entertainment (with some help from Evan Christian), Aggies supplied the cake, Belle Fiori stunned with their floral arrangements and Surg on the Water‘s catering was phenomenal.

There’s nothing we love more than when the little moments of joy happen in beautiful light.

Who says Milwaukee doesn’t have a skyline?  This view from Lakeshore State Park is one of our favorites!

We love this shot of Angie and Doug.  It feels like they are in their own little world!
