Door County Destination Wedding

Engagements, Weddings

Believe it or not, this is an engagement session. Yup… Eric, Vicki and I found some quiet Door County beach time before the hustle of their wedding day and had a little practice session, if you will. They nailed it to say the least. I think many bride-to-be’s dream of resurrecting their mother’s wedding dress and wearing it with pride on a wedding day. Vicki has the same vision so had it cleaned, altered for a more modern fit and saw it fitting to have it’s own photo session to honor it. Thank goodness… it’s so beautiful!

Two more… Eric’s sweet sweet little niece was so very happy for these two and over-looked the photo session validating her thought. door-county-destination-wedding_45door-county-destination-wedding_44

rustic vintage country wedding {nola & dustin}

Weddings

Imagine a countryside wedding seemingly hidden amongst Wisconsin’s beautiful rolling fields and endless blue skies and you may have been at Nola & Dustin’s darling affair.   These two family’s sweet sentiments, the quaint openness, and simple comforts made this wedding so special for us to capture.

A day full of DIY personal touches made for endless wedding details to capture.  Hay bale lounges, mason jar drinking glasses and wildflower-kissed everything made you melt right into “The Land”. 

Thank you, Nola & Dustin (and Dustin’s mom, and sister & brother-in-law, and pastor, and… ) for making us feel like part of your family on your wedding day.  It was an honor to be invited to capture your love and all your hard work come to life.

One of my favorite tender moments of the day:

Nola and Dustin made an outdoor lounge for their guests to cuddle up in.  It was beautiful!

The tent was just as inviting and filled with candle light later in the evening.

The bouquets and boutonniere were some of the most unique and perfectly coordinated I’ve ever seen!  Flowers were created by The Lilly Pad in New London, WI.

Wisconsin crafted New Glarus Spotted Cow beer and cold creamy tap Berghoff Root Beer made great thirst-quenchers.  

Another Wisconsin must-have for an outdoor wedding… CHEESE!

A good old fashioned home-cooked meal suited their celebration perfectly.

If anyone knows Kari and I they know that we have about 24 sweet teeth in our heads.  Imagine the look on our faces when we first laid eyes on THIS!  Uncle Mikes Bake Shoppe in Green bay is much to thank for this delicious table.

During dinner we were cleansed with a few sporadic rain drops from a passing cloud.  The lighting after dinner was so intense and dramatic offering a unique photo opportunity.  I grabbed the Newlyweds had to sneak away for a few very quick snaps.

Nola and Dustin were even able to host their own campground for their guests with candle-lit guides, posh port-o-poties and buzzing flood lights.  Guests flocked to the field bringing RV’s and pitched tents making for a safe and festive evening.
