Rachel and Dane decided to take the weekend to get away, spend some time in gorgeous Door County with their daughter, baby Riley, relax…and do some wedding planning! This was actually exciting and stress-free for Rachel and Dane. We met at Northern Haus in Sister Bay, where Rachel and Dane saw their wedding venue for the first time. Owners, Sara and Nick at Northern Haus are incredibly warm and inviting, going above and beyond when it comes to hospitality and making sure their clients have everything they need.

On a perfect day that was not too cold and not too hot, but just right, Kara and Tyler prepared for their wedding day. Close family and friends gathered at Green Bay Distillery to share in the festivities of the day. Meanwhile, Kara stepped into her beautiful ball gown with a champagne under layer that was stunning on her. There were so many handcrafted and personal touches Kara and Tyler incorporated into their wedding to make the day personal and meaningful.

Bubolz Nature Preserve in Appleton is a gorgeous, magical place even in winter. When Kirsten and Kevin wanted their engagement session to be amongst the pines at Bubolz, I was so happy to document this step in their journey in such a beautiful place full of amazing texture and contrast—truly a photographer’s playground.
