Hanna + Kait: A Chic Meets Laid Back Downtown Madison Wedding

Kait + Hanna’s wedding day was full of smiles and joy and absolutely beautiful

Also, who doesn’t love a queer wedding during Pride Month? No one I’d want to be friends with, that’s for sure!

These two met during July of 2020 (what a time, right?) at Picnic Point for a COVID-cautious first date, and the rest is history! They returned to Picnic Point again for their engagement photos, which you can check out here!

The ceremony itself took place at the Madison Central Library (the fanciest of Madison libraries) and was bright, fun, and filled with music. I kid you not, as the wedding party members were coming down the aisle, the string quartet was playing a song I knew I recognized but couldn’t put my finger on, until at the very end, I realized it was an instrumental rendition of Fat Bottom Girls by Queen, and if I hadn’t been wearing a mask, you’d have seen me smiling ear to ear.

After the ceremony, we headed to the Capitol Building in downtown Madison for couples photos (Hanna + Kait were troopers through the heat though, which was considerable), and then off to State Line Distillery for the reception! And holy smokes, State Line Distillery was such a fun venue! We’ve never photographed a reception there before and it was awesome! Loved those Cicada murals too!

Enjoy the photos from this sweet and fun wedding day, and help me wish Kait + Hanna a big congratulations!
