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

HORSESHOE BAY DOOR COUNTY WEDDING | KARLA & GREG

Karla & Greg planned a wedding celebration that focused on two of their favorite things in the world: travel, and family. They believe experiences and moments are what life is all about, and we couldn't agree with them more! Throughout their relationship, Door County has always been a special place they would visit and fall in love with together over & over again. When it came time to plan their wedding, they knew bringing their closest loved ones to beautiful Door County would make for the perfect wedding celebration! 

Horseshoe Bay Golf Club is one of the most classic & timeless venues in the County. As soon as we met Karla & Greg and they shared their wedding vision with us, we couldn't WAIT for May 9th to arrive! Sparkly gold and pink as far as the eye could see (including Karla's gorgeous gown from London!) brought life & energy to their spring wedding with just the right amount of punchy hues. The thought they put into each and every detail of their wedding celebration speaks to their love of family; they really wanted to create a special celebration for everyone to enjoy! From the darling flower girl's bespoke dresses to a custom wedding stationary suite & custom map, each element of their wedding day was thoughtfully curated. Karla & Greg welcomed guests with a watercolor bag filled with their favorite Door County goodies, including Karla's signature chocolate dipped Oreo's with pink & gold edible glitter! They also represented their love of travel by directing guests to their seats with gold compasses, and enlisted a wonderful wedding team to make sure their day flowed smoothly and looked gorgeous, including Door County Event Planners, Flora and FlourGirl Patissier!

Top to bottom, Karla & Greg's wedding day was one that their friends & family will not soon forget, and even better is the love and adoration they share for one another. We feel so lucky to have been the ones to capture such a beautiful celebration of marriage!!

Love, Kelsy & Butch
