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!

Date Night Engagement Photos in Door County | Madisen & Dane

A Door County date night with Madisen & Dane at one of their (and our) favorite spots. After a cozy cheers at Pearl’s Wine Cottage, we made our way down to the dock and took in the view. What a romantic idea for an engagement session, and truly a representation of the perfect date night in Door County! Madisen & Dane are curating a vibrant, cheerful vibe for their wedding next summer at the Alpine Resort, and their date truly cannot come fast enough!

Door County Family Portraits | The Nations

In 2014 we photographed Meghan & Tony’s engagement session. In 2015 we photographed their wedding. Fast forward to exactly 8 years later, when they celebrated their wedding anniversary with a portrait session and family weekend in Door County! William and Caroline’s little personalities had us smiling all throughout the session. We learned that Caroline likes blue m&m’s, and William tends to her as the sweetest big brother :) Feeling so thankful we were able to see and capture Meghan & Tony’s adorable family and be part of their 8th wedding anniversary in a way that provides them with more memories and photos to look back on!

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!

Fall Portrait Session in Door County | Meg & Leo

Following their stunning Door County wedding weekend earlier this summer, we were thrilled to meet up with Meg & Leo for a taste of fall colors with their two dogs! Mika and Boomer joined us as we bounced around Peninsula State Park on a perfect afternoon, and (as always) Meg & Leo were made to be in front of the camera! Being able to connect with our couples after their wedding makes us so happy :)
