On Saturday our lead photographer did the wedding day photography at the wedding The DeKoven Center in Racine Wisconsin. This lovely Saturday afternoon, was the perfect day for Stephanie and Kevin to celebrate their love for one another by committing their vows in this 19^th century Tutor style church. The ceremony was perfectly serene, with poem readings from close friends as well as the exchange of vows from the couple. We were given permission to stay within the church after the ceremony for wedding portraits of family and friends. The Center was built in 1867 as a boarding school and Christian college and over the years has been modernized yet still retains its old fashioned look and feel. The DeKoven Center is located at 600 21^st Street in Racine Wisconsin, in case you are looking for a quiet and peaceful setting for your wedding day.

 

After the ceremony, everyone headed to Lincoln Park for beautiful outdoor photos of the individual couple and with their bridal party. The park is located at 7010 22nd Ave, Kenosha, WI 53143. When the lead photographer arrived the group was already engaged in fun photography of their own, as they were a very happy and lively group. We stayed near a nice wall of trees for some solid shadow, where he had our group photos of everyone, including a few sneaky kissing photos from the flower girl to the ring bearer (though I don’t think he really minded at all based on the pictures.)

 

Once we had the portrait group photos completed, we headed to the lovely white bridge down the walkway. There we had some fun with jumping photography and running jump photos. This group was awesome! So much life and energy from everyone that it made the day fly by too quickly.

 

Finally, the reception was at the Best Western Harborside Inn & Kenosha Conference Center at 5125 6^th Avenue, Kenosha Wisconsin 53140-3403. The staff there was very attentive and polite. The couple had a live Jazz, Steven Rainey (Real Deal Band, called “during cocktail hour as the DJ set up his equipment. The night was much still in the swing as we ended the evening!
