An Old Hollywood classic theater same-sex wedding

At a Glance

Becca Dilley Photography sent us this gorgeous same-sex wedding in Madison, Wisconsin, and we were super stoked about the awesome style and INSANELY COOL cake: a huge pedestal with flames and mini-cakes hanging down! The couple also rocked an Old Hollywood vibe with a retro theater venue, the Orpheum Theater.

    O…m…g. I think this is one of the most amazing weddings I’ve ever seen. That cake?! That venue!? Those brides?! GORGEOUS. I also think the shot of the bridal party walking away from the Capitol building is a really gripping, inspired shot. Amazing all around!

    Oooh, never thought of dining in the main theater! We’re also planning to have our wedding in a theater, but I figured we’d just put the tables in the lobby or another room. I actually love the tables there! gorgeous!
