Intimate LGBTQ Wedding on the Grand Belle of Geneva in Lake Geneva, Wi | Alex and Asa

I absolutely love Alex and Asa’s intimate sunset boat wedding on the Grand Belle of Geneva, on Lake Geneva in Wisconsin so much. These two wanted to elope, but also wanted to include their closest family members and friends; so getting married at sunset on the lake was the perfect combination of all things! It was everything that represents these two, and that is unique! While rushing to fight some potential rain on the horizon, we did some fun portraits on the pier than jumped aboard.

After getting situated, the Grand Belle took off onto the lake, and then we started their ceremony. Alex and Asa wanted to have a string quartet play during the whole affair, and their goal was to also insert parts of themselves throughout the ceremony. They both said their own vows, basically filled with jokes that had the entire room giggling. I am such a sucker for boats, and the lake; and it was such an adventure to capture this beautiful day for these two! In their words, they wanted “a nautical theme with a classy ambiance (string quartet), but not too serious or stuffy. We'll probably inject some humor into the ceremony,” and I’d say that was the exact definition of the evening.

“We both love Legos (we have a whole Lego room). So I got a ring with a little Lego piece on it and built a gift box out of Legos. I proposed to Asa with it on Christmas Day, 2017. It was a few months in the planning because the Lego company is extremely slow in their shipping of “pick your own” pieces. Asa definitely saw it coming, but she was excited nonetheless.”
