Wedding

It is always fun when I have the opportunity to marry multiple members of the same family.  Two and a half years ago I married Kelly and David at Milford Hills Hunt Club.  I will always remember their wedding day because it was also the day that my daughter went into labor with my granddaughter.  So […]

Kate and Ryan had their wedding last October at Bishops Bay Country Club.  The ceremony was outside and may have been one of the windiest weddings I have done.  But the weather didn’t deter this adorable couple from creating a magical day.  I joked that because Kate and Ryan had a Irish themed wedding that the […]

One of the last weddings I did in 2017 was an elopement for Shannon and Neil at Gates of Heaven. I have always said that it doesn’t matter how big or small a wedding is, it is always special and unique. I was in tears watching the video that DeGroot Film Co. put together for them. […]

I really enjoyed working with Melissa and Anan.  They are serious marathon and triathlete competitors.  Although they live in Chicago, they decided to have their wedding in Madison at UW Picnic Point.  It snowed the night before so the ground was white but it was also pretty cold for a sunrise ceremony. (The two pairs of […]

What does Koru mean?

KORU (kor-roo) is the Maori word for “loop.” For the indigenous people of New Zealand, the koru spiral represents a fern frond beginning to unfurl. The koru symbol embodies new beginnings, a new phase of life, renewal, hope for the future, positive change, personal growth, working in harmony, bringing people together, and being mindful of the good things in life.

At Koru Ceremony, we strive to personify these ideals and celebrate a new beginning through ceremony and ritual.
