They made sure their wedding was going to be fun for all ages and included lots of activities for the kids as well as fun favors for everyone.
Sugar Island Barn made a perfect location for both their ceremony and reception, and our photographer Lisa had a wonderful time photographing their day and taking their portraits around the grounds! We particularly love their flower petal recessional and their sparkler exit later that evening ✨
The American Club and Whistling Straits Destination Wedding | Kristin and Joey
Kris and Joey wanted to do a destination wedding, but realized logistics would be difficult with guests flying out, so they chose Wisconsin... a destination from Chicago! They loved the historic vibes of the American Club for their getting-ready coverage, first look, and some of their portraits... and they loved how Whistling Straits' Irish Barn and scenery felt like they were transported to another country for their ceremony and reception.
They had perfect timing with the weather that day; a big storm came through, but it didn't rain on their parade! They were still able to have all of their portraits outside as well as their ceremony :) The sounds of the storm gave such a cozy ambiance to their reception, and left them with some dramatic skies for some nighttime photos!
