Door County Wedding Inspiration at Northern Haus

We had the pleasure of photographing a wedding event held at Northern Haus in Door County. The reception space was filled with several inspired tables decorated with stunning florals by Flora Flowershop, and we loved the fresh, creative wedding reception decor styles!

Hoping to plan an eco-friendly wedding? Try mixing fresh potted herbs with your table decor, and bring a touch of the outdoors in with terracotta planters! Want to make a statement with your linens? Go big and bold with a dramatic floral print. Or, bring a soft, romantic feel with muted rose velvet linens!

We invite you to sit back and enjoy some visual eye candy in the form of these beautiful tablescapes!

Milwaukee Art Museum Wedding | Ashlyn & Ryan

When we think of Ashlyn & Ryan’s wedding, an immediate smile comes to our faces! Their day started at the Westin, where the two of them and their wedding party got ready. After the ceremony, we headed to one of our favorite locations for Ashlyn & Ryan’s portraits – Saint Francis de Sales Seminary! Photographing on the long, charming drive bordered with twisty trees is so very inspiring to us. Pair that with a couple as genuine and beautiful as Ashlyn & Ryan, and it’s a recipe for magic!

The Milwaukee Art Museum was our next stop, where Ashlyn & Ryan joined their guests to enjoy cocktail hour under the sun. Soon after, two of our favorite moments of the entire day took place. One: Ashlyn & Ryan’s grand entrance into their reception, where Ryan spun his new bride around in the air and their cuteness + Ashlyn’s stunning Klienfeld’s gown stopped the show! And two: Ryan’s toast about Ashlyn. Each of their loved ones without a doubt FELT the reason we were all there! This day, this celebration was filled with an outpouring of love & support. So heartfelt, so powerful, and we couldn’t adore these two more!!

Grain Exchange Fall Milwaukee Wedding | Jenny & Skyler

Before their wedding day, Jenny & Skyler made a trip up to visit us at our studio and we had the best time chatting all things wedding with them!! They have such great energy, and we loved the mindset they have surrounding their wedding. In addition to their love and marriage, the two biggest focuses of their planning were family and food – our kind of people! Together, they planned a day that loved one every one of their guests and treated everyone to a beautiful & delicious celebration at the Grain Exchange.

Jenny and Skyler also incorporated special touches throughout their wedding day –– Jenny’s mom was her Matron of Honor, and Skyler honored his Filipino heritage by wearing a traditional Hawaiian “Maile lei” draped over his shoulders. Following their heartfelt ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktail hour while Jenny and Skyler had portraits with their loved ones. Guests were then invited back into the reception space which had been meticulously transformed into a classic celebration with soft florals and the glow of countless candles! The room was soon filled with laughter, delicious food coming out course after course, and so many sweet moments shared between Jenny and Skyler!

We are so thankful to have been part of this wonderful couple’s celebration and absolutely loved getting to know them and their families!

Grand Theater Wausau Wedding | Kate & John

If there’s one thing we will forever think of when reminiscing about Kate & John’s wedding day, it is their ENERGY! These two high school sweethearts have the most contagious zest for life, and everyone who knows them would wholeheartedly agree that their love is the perfect example of what a committed, loving relationship should look like. After photographing their engagement session last fall, we already couldn’t wait for their July wedding at the Grand Theater in downtown Wausau, WI. Fun fact: this is also where we had our wedding reception (back in 2009!), so having weddings there is always extra special for us. Combine that with a gorgeous day & a perfect sunset, and you have two very happy McCartneys!

Oneida Country Club | Gallagher Wedding

Anne & Mike Gallagher were married on a sunny September 28, 2019, at St. John the Evangelist Church in Green Bay, Wisconsin! After tying the knot they arrived at their reception venue, the gorgeous Oneida Country Club, and snuck in to see the magic that Buds N Bloom created inside! Before joining their guests (who were entertained by Eden Lane Jazz during cocktail hour), Anne & Mike joined us on the fairways for portraits with their bridal party – and maybe a little champagne & dancing as the sun set! Six incredible speeches brought down the house during dinner and, finally, Anne & Mike blew everyone away on the dance floor while the Michael Walters Orchestra provided the tunes! It was a celebration we won’t soon forget, and we are truly honored Anne & Mike chose us to capture their beautiful memories!
