It’s all about the shoes – well not really. I have to admit that I am bummed to have missed out on the awesome trend of brides wearing shoes that match her wedding colors. <sigh> But check out these wedding photos from Temika and Jerry Reaves’ wedding also featuring the cutest teal shoes. Their photographers, Amy and Chris McManigal of McManigal Photography, did a fantastic job capturing their day. The McManigal’s creativity and ability to capture private moments are memories that last a lifetime.

Weddings at the The Astor Hotel
We had our wedding reception at the Astor Hotel in downtown Milwaukee. The Astor has a ballroom that’s filled with old world charm and we loved it. We didn’t do a sit down dinner, but instead did a cocktail recpetion where the food was served in stations and our guests could eat whenever they wanted. This made the reception more social and gave us more time to sociallize with our guests.
