Chelsea and Kelli’s wedding day was certainly one for the books! From the Hotel Julien to the Five Flags Theater, their wedding was packed with beautiful moments. It was so much fun to be their wedding photographer and capture their day around downtown Dubuque.
They got ready at the historic Hotel Julien and shared their first look in the beautiful lobby. (This hotel is seriously one of the best places in Dubuque for those classic, elegant vibes!) From there, we took a short walk to the Five Flags Theater for their ceremony. If you haven’t seen this theater, it’s absolutely gorgeous! With vintage architecture, it was the perfect backdrop for both their vows and some sweet family photos after the ceremony.
The party continued at the 7 Hills Ballroom, where Chelsea and Kelli danced and laughed with their guests. They had so much fun soaking up the magic of the evening. We wrapped up their wedding photography coverage with a champagne spray outside of the reception–the perfect way to cap off the celebration.
Their wedding was filled with love, warmth, and the kind of easygoing energy that makes wedding photography so much fun! Cheers to Chelsea and Kelli as they start this next chapter together!
