Maddie & Drew at La Pointe Events

La Pointe Events · Somerset, WI

“You are Madeline’s spark” — beautiful words from the father of the bride. We were honored to film Maddie and Drew’s wedding at La Pointe Events in Somerset, Wisconsin this summer.

You’ll notice huge storm clouds rolling in during their ceremony, and the downpour starting right as they said their vows, kissed, and ran inside. It was a day full of joy and beauty. Congrats, Maddie and Drew.

Maddie + Drew's Wedding at La Pointe Events - Somerset, Wisconsin

La Pointe Events in Somerset, Wisconsin

La Pointe Events sits in Somerset, Wisconsin — about thirty minutes from the Twin Cities — on wooded acres along the river. For couples searching for a Somerset wedding videographer, the property offers outdoor ceremony space, a contemporary event center with wide glass and open light, and a landscape that can shift from bright summer green to dramatic sky in a single afternoon.

Maddie and Drew’s film is not a brochure for a pretty venue. It stays with how the day felt when the weather turned, when family spoke, and when the celebration moved indoors without losing its joy.

Storm clouds, vows, and the run inside

Their outdoor ceremony unfolded under building storm light — the kind of sky that asks a filmmaker to stay present rather than wait for perfect weather. Huge clouds rolled in as they stood together; the downpour began right as they finished their vows, shared a kiss, and ran inside.

That sequence is the heartbeat of the film: not a ruined outdoor plan, but a summer wedding that became more itself when the rain arrived. The scramble for cover, the laughter, and the relief of being newly married in the middle of it all are the details years from now will bring back.

Voices, toasts, and a day full of joy

In the reception, the people who love them carried the story as much as the views outside the glass. Maddie’s father called Drew Madeline’s spark — a line that lands with the warmth of someone who has watched his daughter’s life and recognizes the person standing beside her.

Speeches, shared tables, and the easy energy of a summer celebration fill out the rest of the day. We were honored to be there for the joy and the beauty — rain included.

Why this film matters

A wedding film at La Pointe Events is not only river light and modern rooms. It is a record of how love sounded when a father toasted his daughter, how the sky looked when the storm arrived, and how Maddie and Drew moved through it together. Years from now they will not only see where they stood — they will feel the day the rain became part of the story.
