This summer, I had the pleasure of second shooting Taylor & Will’s eclectic yet elegant wedding at The Madison Club. This couple is incredible and the vibes were immaculate on their big day at one of the most beautiful wedding venues in Madison, WI!
Nestled in the heart of downtown Madison, WI, The Madison Club is a wedding venue filled with character, stunning architectural details, and endless options for the wedding gallery of your dreams! From getting ready in the elegant suite to Taylor & Will’s first look they shared on the stunning, winding staircase, this venue is a sight to behold.
Taylor & Will’s elegant summer wedding at The Madison Club in Madison, WI featured Lake Monona views and a lively reception at this iconic venue. While they opted for a ceremony at the connected Monona Terrace, the Madison Club boasts several spaces spanning multiple floors. Even the styles in each space varies and range from enchanting elegance to sleek, modern sophistication. (Personally, I especially love the funky wallpapers in each of the rooms!) The setting couldn’t have been more perfect for this Madison wedding venue.
Taylor & Will exchanged their vows overlooking a breathtaking view of Lake Monona surrounded by friends and family. It was a touching and intimate ceremony filled with laughter and happy tears from nearly everyone in attendance. After eight years together, Taylor and Will’s wedding was a true celebration of love and individuality. Every detail was intentional and reflected the couple’s ultimate vision for their special day! Following the ceremony and portraits, the celebration moved indoors for a high-energy reception. The atmosphere, like the couple of the hour, was incredible.
Taylor and Will were unapologetically themselves for the entirety of their wedding day at The Madison Club. Their wedding gallery was fueled by a more documentary approach with an editorial edge. I focused on highlighting the candid, genuine moments and personality-packed details (like the blinged out cowboy hat they wore during their reception) to capture their big day. Taylor and Will’s connection remained the focal point while highlighting the elegance of this stunning venue. Taylor and Will are the seriously the coolest people and their wedding was as iconic as the two of them.
