Private Residence Wedding in De Pere, WI | Becky & Riley

All the vibrant, happy colors for a stunning private residence wedding in De Pere! With the help of Buds N Bloom, Becky and Riley planned a ‘boho meets modern wedding’ blending the couple’s favorite decor elements into one vision under an epic custom outdoor structure.

After a very intimate ceremony, guests awaited them at Riley’s parents beautiful home on the river in De Pere. The new Mr & Mrs arrived by boat and were welcomed to their cocktail hour by the excited faces of all of their loved ones! Signature cocktails and passed hors d’ oeuvres with fresh oysters kicked off the celebration. Guests enjoyed mingling with a view of the water and floating florals in the in-ground pool, before making their way to the clear tent for dinner.

The Chicago Players kicked off the as guests took in the sea of colorful blooms, fresh peaches at each place setting, and suspended florals! Shades of guava, peach, red, pink, layers of greenery, and a touch of blue brought the entire palette to life.

Throughout their special day, Becky and Riley shared the sweetest moments together and were so sincere in every interaction. The wedding they planned was truly an experience for the loved ones, and we couldn’t be more thankful to have captured their cheerful, stunning celebration!

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!

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.
