Adiona & Nathan’s Love Story

Nathan and Adiona met while going through their undergraduate education at UW-Madison through friends, go Badgers!! They started dating long distance, before Nathan got a promotion that moved Adiona closer to the Milwaukee area! Nathan and Adiona have been together for over five years!! During this time they have experienced so much together like buying a home and getting their dog, Loki!! In May of 2018 one of Adiona friends invited her to a girls day in Madison, WI. She thought it would be a great idea if their significant others and puppies would spend the day at the terrace!! They decided before going to the spa, to take hike to picnic point! Where Nate proposed Adiona. After the proposal, he suggested they go to the terrace to have a few celebratory drinks! When they arrived all of their loved ones were waiting! He had planned an engagement party after the proposal at one of Adiona’s favorite places in the world! You can view their Memorial Union Terrace engagement session HERE.

Wedding Day

PHOTO OVERLOAD!!!… There’s so many beautiful photos from their wedding day, I couldn’t decide what to share so I shared a lot! Bartolotta at Discovery World in Milwaukee is an amazing venue in downtown Milwaukee on Lake Michigan. The weather was perfect for an outdoor ceremony right before sunset. Jona and Nate decided to have a first look with each other, along with a first look with Jona’s father and brother. After that we took the bridal party and family photos before the ceremony so they could enjoy the cocktail hour and time with family and friends. During the dinner speeches Jona & Nate wanted to make sure to incorporate some of the Albanian traditions/language into the wedding since they had so many family members fly in from Europe for the wedding and it’s a big part of who Jona is ! Her family originally moved to the U.S from Albania almost 20 years ago so it meant a lot to the couple and their families.
