Lizzie & Bennett - A warm summer wedding in Madison, WI at The Wisconsin Institute for Discoveries


Introducing Lizzie & Bennett!

06.21.24


Two of the warmest and kindest souls we've had the joy of photographing. Their love for each other is as genuine as their shared passion for travel and exploring the beauty of national parks.


Many of their closest family and friends traveled from out of state to be there, a true testament to the love and support that surrounds them. The venue, WID, was stunning—filled with the outdoor charm that perfectly matched their personalities.


Throughout the day, there was an unmistakable feeling in the air: pure joy. Every glance, every laugh, every quiet moment between them radiated the deep love they share, and it was a privilege to witness it all.


Life is an adventure best traveled together.
