Welcome to the Koru Blog

I love working with Jennifer Andersen at Angelic Angles Photography and I LOVE her photo from Wendy and Josh’s wedding at Mansion Hill Inn.  The quote she wrote on Facebook was perfect for this amazing couple: “When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew.” ​It was so much fun to marry Josh […]

I don’t have the opportunity to officiate as many weddings in January as other months because of our Wisconsin winters.  So what a joy it was to be a part of Meghan and Ken’s beautiful wedding at the Chandelier Ballroom in Hartland.  What a lovely couple and wonderful photos by Ann Gorgen Photography.  If you […]

One of my favorite photographers is Laura Zastrow Here is another FABULOUS wedding that Laura photographed at the Mansion Hill Inn. This wonderful couple’s wedding was a small intimate affair at one of the most beautiful inns in Madison and a great location for a wedding with under 50 guests. I really enjoyed the change of having the […]

Before I get too deep into this year’s wedding season I wanted to look back at some of the weddings I did in 2016.  Rachel and Josh got married at the Madison Club on 1/2/16 and I was the officiant.  But what a delight to see these photos that Audre Rae Photography took of them in front of Grace Episcopal […]

I couldn’t have agreed more and say “ditto” with Jen Dederich Photography‘s comment in her Facebook post: “I am just so spoiled by all of the wonderful couples that I get to photograph!! (insert the word “marry” here) I knew that this was going to be such a fun, easy wedding day full of love and […]

My husband and I were recently in San Francisco and saw these fern korus at the deYoung Museum. A koru is a new fern frond as it begins to unfurl.  The word “koru” (pronounced kor-roo) is the Maori word for “loop.”  A number of years ago I was introduced to this word when my daughter […]

She is thorough, thoughtful and truly made our ceremony special and individualized to us as a couple. […]
