Olivia and Taylor’s wedding day is THE perfect example of how to make the most out of a rainy wedding day ! The two knew they wanted to have an outdoor wedding ceremony at the Osthoff Resort in Elkhart Lake, Wisconsin, and they weren’t about to let a little rain get in the way of that vision. I love how their day came together, I love their determination to make their wedding dream a reality, and I love that they chose me to document this special and incredible day for them.


The Start of the Day
Olivia and Taylor’s wedding day began like many, with the two getting ready separately from one another in the company of their friends and family. Even with it already raining, and Olivia and Taylor knowing that it wouldn’t clear up for the ceremony, spirits could not have been higher ! Everyone was smiling, laughing, and having the best time as they knew that no matter the weather the day would be a beautiful celebration of Olivia and Taylor’s love. A huge benefit of having their wedding at the Osthoff Resort was that both Olivia and Taylor were able to get ready on site in separate rooms of the resort. This kept travel time to a minimum, and made the day flow SO smoothly. Once ready it was time to head out to the courtyard for the ceremony.




Their Rainy Wedding Ceremony at the Osthoff Resort in Wisconsin
The central courtyard of the Osthoff Resort is a pretty spectacular space for a wedding ceremony, so it’s pretty understandable that Olivia and Taylor wanted to push through with their original vision for an outdoor ceremony. Personally I think it’s SO awesome that these two stuck with their original game plan for their day and embraced the weather that was thrown at them. There’s just something so cool about committing to their vision, especially since the rain really did add another layer of emotion to the day !
With no first look as a part of their wedding day, the ceremony was the first time Olivia and Tyler had seen each other all day. That combined with the rain to then set the scene for a ceremony that was equal parts emotional and beautiful. It was SUCH a sweet ceremony, and you could tell everyone in attendance was so happy to be a part of this incredible moment between these two. Immediately after Olivia and Tyler officially became newlyweds we hurried inside to sign their wedding paperwork. Afterwards it was back out into the rain for some family and wedding party portraits in the rain at the beautiful courtyard of the Osthoff Resort. A quick tip for anyone that may have a rainy wedding day, bring along some clear umbrellas. They won’t cast shadows over you while keeping you dry !





























Celebrating Their Wedding Day Inside the Osthoff Resort
The remainder of Olivia and Taylor’s wedding day was spent inside the Osthoff Resort’s indoor reception space. This beautiful ballroom has an extremely classy feel to it thanks to the warm wood accents and ornate chandeliers throughout the space. It was the perfect space for Olivia and Taylor to celebrate alongside all of their friends and family in attendance. Endless dancing, hilarious and moving speeches, and private notes shared between Olivia and Taylor only start to scratch the surface of the amazing moments that made up their reception. With live music courtesy of the Dirty Rotten Scoundrels Band, the dance floor was full the ENTIRE night. An epic way to end an already spectacular wedding day !




























Olivia and Taylor’s wedding at the Osthoff Resort in Wisconsin was such an honor to document and be a part of. I’m so happy that these two stuck true to their vision as it really helped to ensure their day was the one of a kind experience they deserved !
