Claire and Nicholas’ Chivaree on Park wedding in Ixonia, Wisconsin was one of those heartfelt, joy-filled days we’ll always remember. As Original Weddings’ Milwaukee-based wedding photography team, we got to be right there for all the laughter, tears, and twirls on the dance floor—and we loved every second of it.
These two first met online and hit it off over tacos at a Mexican restaurant. Fast forward, and they’re cooking together, enjoying the outdoors, and hanging out with their sweet pup, Maci. Their wedding day was the perfect mix of personal, relaxed, and elegant. We started with quiet getting-ready moments and beautiful flat lay details—Claire’s dress, rings, and a gorgeous cake set the tone for the day.
Claire looked absolutely radiant in her sleek satin gown, and Nicholas couldn’t stop smiling. They shared a super sweet first look before heading out for portraits on the lush green grounds. The indoor ceremony space at Chivaree on Park felt like something out of a movie—rich red curtains, glowing chandeliers, and all the heartfelt emotion.
When it came time to party, DJ Carter Events and Entertainment kept the vibe fun and upbeat. Guests hit the dance floor hard—and we were there to catch every twirl and toast. We offer photography and videography all over Wisconsin, and days like this are exactly why we love what we do.
