Client Raves
"We had a great experience working with Brianna for our wedding photos, from start to finish!"
"Finding Brianna felt like it was meant to be. She helped us put together a schedule for the day, and made sure there was the opportunity for specific photos we wanted, even grabbing us for sunset photos at just the right time. My husband said he didn't even notice she was there for most of the day, in a good way - meaning we could just enjoy the day and all the little moments, and she was there capturing it. We were SO pleased with the galleries that were delivered, and the time it took to get them. Viewing all the photos was like re-living our wedding day and it was so fun to see all the emotions and special moments and happiness that she captured. It was fun to see her creativity shine through in the shots. It's going to be really hard to decide which ones to print and frame!"

I'm a Wisconsin elopement photographer based
in Madison, Wisconsin.
I've been photographing weddings for 8 years and am an expert at helping couples get married at Devil's Lake.
Hi! I'm Brianna.
I can help you design your perfect Devil's Lake wedding or elopement day experience!
My husband Pat and I eloped just the two of us in Washington state in 2023! We chose Mount Baker as our elopement location and it couldn't have been more perfect. We spent a gorgeous day in the mountains with our photographer and videographer. We got ready together in our A-frame cabin, had a first look in the forest, had a picnic lunch along the river, had an amazing scenic drive up to Mount Baker, had a completely private ceremony and shared our vows with the sun shining through the trees behind us, a private chef cooked us dinner at Austin Pass, and then we hiked to Artist Point where we watched the sun set, had our first dance, and drooled over the alpenglow on Mount Shuksan.
My husband and I eloped!

![🏛️TIPS FOR GETTING MARRIED AT THE WISCONSIN STATE CAPITOL [Part 2]:
✨TIP 3: Choose your ceremony space in the Capitol from 3 options:
OPTION 1 - The Rotunda:
You can have a small wedding ceremony in the common areas / public spaces (known as The Rotunda) of the capitol for free. The process of having your small wedding ceremony inside the capitol common areas is relatively simple. You’ll need to notify Capitol Police and apply for a free permit if you choose this option. The public areas of the capitol can accommodate up to 50 people for a ceremony.
OPTION 2 - Assembly Chamber & Assembly Parlor:
For a more private wedding ceremony at the Capitol, consider booking either the Assembly Chamber or Assembly Parlor. The Assembly Chamber can host a maximum of 200 guests. The Assembly Parlor can host a maximum of 50 guests, but the space is more comfortable for 25 guests or fewer. You can apply (for a fee) to have your wedding in the Assembly Chamber or Parlor.
OPTION 3 - Senate Parlor:
The Senate Parlor can host a maximum of 50 guests, but the space is more comfortable for 25 or fewer guests. You will need sponsorship from your Wisconsin Senator to book the Senate Parlor for your wedding ceremony.
✨TIP 4: Ceremonies can be held in the Rotunda during the building opening hours, which are: Monday-Friday: 8:00am-6:00pm & Saturday-Sunday: 8:00am-4:00pm.
✨TIP 5: Fridays or other weekdays make great days to elope at the Capitol!

![🏛️TIPS FOR GETTING MARRIED AT THE WISCONSIN STATE CAPITOL [Part 1]:
✨ TIP 1: There are few different options you can choose for finding an officiant for your Capitol wedding ceremony:
OPTION 1: Your officiant can be a friend or family member if they are ordained. (It's easy to get ordained online!)
OPTION 2: If you want to hire a civil official or judge, you can find a list of available officiants at the link in my bio “How to Get Married at the Capitol”
OPTION 3: If neither of the above options works for you, the last option is to search on google for wedding officiants to find someone who suits you.These are often people who are ordained that perform wedding ceremonies that are not civil officials.
✨TIP 2: You only need 2 witnesses and an officiant to make it official. I can also sign as one of your witnesses!
