Is there anything better than black and white stills in front of the Abbey's breathtaking double doors? After seeing Kasey and Jason's portraits...we're not so sure🖤⁠

Join us in congratulating Rebekah + Shane⁠ on their Royal Engagement! 🥂⁠⁠ ⁠⁠
⁠
✨The Proposal✨⁠
We went to dinner at Harbor House (where he accidentally dropped the ring box on the ground and I luckily did not even notice) and afterwards went for a walk on the pier where he proposed with just us and the Milwaukee night skyline. It was a total surprise and perfect. Afterwards we sat on the pier and called our families. ⁠
⁠
✨Why They Chose St. James 1868⁠✨⁠
We found St. James 1868 online and immediately loved the beauty and elegance of the space by the photos, but once we saw it in person it was unbelievable. We were taken aback with the detail and history preserved in the church and truly fell in love with the space. After we left we could not imagine getting married anywhere else. ⁠
⁠
✨Their first impression of St. James 1868✨⁠
The true grandeur of the space and how timeless it felt. All of the glass and wood that had been preserved or repurposed into other parts of the space including the wood behind the cake cutting area and the venue chairs. ⁠
⁠
✨The wedding moment they're looking forward to the most⁠✨⁠
Seeing each other for the first time down the aisle and spending the day with our families and friends. Oh and of course the actual getting married part! 😉⁠
