The Edgewater Madison Wedding Photos

We headed up to Wisconsin for our 2nd Madison wedding in less than a month! It was wonderful to see all of Ilana + Yonatan’s family come from out of town to celebrate their wedding! It may have seemed like a hot and humid day to us Midwesterners…all the Atlanta folks seemed to think the weather was perfect! =)

Shout out to Jan from PEM Parties, the staff at The Edgewater Hotel, and Cagen Music for rolling through the changing weather and still making Ilana + Yonatan’s wedding spectacular! Lemons to lemonade!
