Marcus Center for the Performing Arts Wedding: Jessie & Serhij!

When Jessie and Serhij were planning their Marcus Center for the Performing Arts wedding, a few things were clear. They did not want to see each other before the ceremony, this day was as much about celebrating them as it was about their guests, and they were committed not only to each other but to having a blast at their wedding. In other words, they are our kind of couple!

Their day started at Intercontinental Milwaukee Hotel, but Jessie wisely decided to wait to put her dress on until she was at the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts . It was a great choice since the Marcus Center for the Performing Arts is uniquely equipped with space for star performers to prepare themselves. In this case, it wasn’t a crooner or an actor but instead, the leading lady was Jessie with her band of bridesmaids.

Everything got pretty emotional once Jessie got her dress on. These are the moments we live for as documentarians!

One of the aspects we love most about shooting at Marcus Center for the Performing Arts is the wonderful array of photogenic backdrops just outside its doors. From cityscapes to a wonderful grove of trees and the Riverwalk, we can accomplish a lot very efficiently and get back in time for everyone to enjoy the cocktail hour and for us to document the details in the finished reception room.

Lidia spied this precious moment between Jessie and Serhij just when they thought no one was noticing. A truly candid moment!
