Leila & Nick's Villa Terrace Wedding and Jan Serr Studio Reception!
One of the first question couples have to answer when getting married is which fabulous venue should play host to their celebration. And then sometimes couples,such as Leila & Nick, are greedy and choose multiple fantastic venues. As it turns out, merging the classic European charm of Villa Terrace and the modern industrial vibes of Jan Serr is genius!
Don’t miss Lelia & Nick’s *HENNA Night Celebration* // *Henna Night Reel* // *Wedding Reel*
At Villa Terrace, the couple assembled their wedding parties and prepared for their day. Nick and Leila chose to have an around-the-corner private vow ceremony where they could express their hearts to each other before seeing each other for the first time during the ceremony. The ceremony was perfect - full of all the emotions, and there were so many moments of fun and feeling sprinkled through the getting ready process and wedding party portraits.
From there, Leila and Nick hit up Merge on the Milwaukee Eastside before heading up to Jan Serr Studio and all those waiting to celebrate the night away with them. Their grand march was incredible - a wedding parade where they danced in Moroccan style accompanied by drummers and dancers (DJ Samer does incredible work!). And then it was feasting, speeches, and dancing into the evening.
Two additional favorite moments: First was their quick golden hour session with the couple - we snuck out after dinner and caught some amazing light and moments. Also, Nick and I took a few minutes to create some epic Cigar photos that demonstrated how cool of a groom he really is!
Nick and Leila are fabulous humans - I wish them many, many years of love, laughter, and moments together!
