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.

Family Session in Door County | The Keepmans

Angela reached out about family portraits for her family, and when their session date came we couldn’t believe how adorable and well-coordinated they were together! Matt and Angela have long-standing family connections to Door County, and we all lucked out with a perfect September evening for their portraits in Egg Harbor!

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!
