Elyse + Marty Hemphill

Elyse + Marty Hemphill / July 20 2019

This couple met in Australia. They live there, but had the wedding at the Lake Lawn Resort in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin. We obviously couldn’t drive out and meet, so we FaceTimed. And, even that was tough because our mornings were their night times and versa vice. But we got it done with the power of the internet!
The weather app predicted rain for the day, so we kept an eye out for it. And, we thought we had escaped it, but minutes before the ceremony the rain started coming down, and they moved the ceremony was moved indoors. Fortunately, rain was gone soon and we still got to shoot outside for some great creative shots.
One shot that stands out is the group shot of the bridal party. We set up chairs from the reception outside and set them up the way we wanted them.

The video team joined us on this wedding, and they nearly lost the drone because the weather messed with their signals.

Anyways, the live band killed it at the reception and hearing all the Australian lingo during the speeches was super memorable.
