Horseshoe Bay Beach Club Wedding | Mary Clare & Bret

After getting ready at her parents beautiful home on Bayshore Drive, Mary Clare and Bret were married at St Joseph’s Church in Surgeon Bay. Their grand exit down down the steps following their ceremony were filled with an abundance of joy & sunshine, and you could FEEL all of the love surrounding this couple – a theme that carried throughout the entirety if their heartfelt wedding day.

Cocktail hour along the water at the Horseshoe Bay Beach Club awaited their guests, followed by a tented reception with timelessly romantic florals by Flora Flowershop, an effortless day choreographed by Door County Event Planners, and live music by the North Coast Orchestra. One of our favorite moments was Mary Clare and Bret’s entrance into their reception, where you could see just how much delighted they were, and how much this day meant to them!

We are so very happy for this wonderful couple, and grateful to have been the ones to capture such special moments for the two of them and their warm, welcoming families!

xx, Kelsy and Butch

Door County Wedding at Gordon Lodge | Olivia & Casey

Olivia & Casey envisioned a classic, nautical wedding as close to the water as possible, and Gordon Lodge couldn’t have been a more perfect setting! After their first look and private vow exchange, Olivia & Casey joined us along the bay for portraits before their ceremony. They carved out a lot of portrait time and it was such a beautiful setting, we quite literally could.not.stop taking their picture!

After family portraits and a sun-soaked ceremony on the lawn, guests mingled, played games and enjoyed cocktail hour at Gordon Lodge’s outdoor bar. With a view of the water all day long, the energy surrounding the two of them was absolutely contagious!

And then, just like that, Olivia & Casey's wedding day was blessed with what can only be described as truly one of *the* most stunning Gordon Lodge sunsets we've ever seen!

If you ask us, the two of them couldn't be more deserving of such a beautiful ending to their Door County wedding. They're genuine, WARM, caring, and bursting with fun-loving personality!! And if you're lucky enough to know them, we know you'll agree.

Elegant Wedding Inspiration in Wisconsin

When we think elegant, we think timeless and lush. Classic and thoughtful. These words perfectly describe the editorial shoot Buds N Bloom created for us to photograph at Round Lake Farms. Let us walk you through the beautiful wedding ceremony and reception spaces at this charming new venue in eastern Wisconsin!

First, an elevated indoor ceremony with wooden chairs and grand doors to design your floral arch around.

Immediately following, a main level cocktail hour:

And while guests enjoy cocktail hour, your wonderful wedding planner and floral team have reinvented your ceremony space into a beautiful, intimate dinner. A long table lined with candles and low, full arrangements.

If you missed part one, featuring an entirely different ceremony, cocktail hour and reception set-up at Round Lake Farms, you can find it here!

Round Lake Farms

Freshly built and ready to accept bookings, Round Lake Farms invited us out to their stunning venue to photograph several vignettes and ceremony/reception scenes.

We had the best time capturing their beautiful space adorned with florals by the one-and-only, Buds N Bloom!

Our hope is that these images serve as visual inspiration, as well as a warm introduction to this gem of a wedding venue in Brillion, Wisconsin.

First, let us welcome you to an outdoor ceremony overlooking a private pond. Guests with a curved view, flowers growing up a grand tree, and a vintage chandelier hanging above.

After the outdoor ceremony, guests are invited to make their way up to the second level balcony space where cocktail tables await them!

Finally, the reception space awaits just inside the grand doors with a large chimney and stone fireplace, and colorful blooms.

Be sure to stay tuned for part two, featuring an entirely different ceremony, cocktail hour and reception set-up at Round Lake Farms!

Private Residence Wedding in Egg Harbor | Alexandra & Christian

Alexandra & Christian’s Door County wedding was set along the bay in Egg Harbor, WI. With 30 of their closest loved ones they cheersed and soaked in the evening under strung lights. Intimate, emotional, and as beautiful as they dreamed it to be!

This new Mr and Mrs had the cutest energy together. Our cameras couldn't get enough, and they couldn’t wait to become husband & wife! Alexandra & Christian’s private residence allowed us to walk right up to the shore during portrait time just before sunset. Their love was such a joy to capture!
