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!

Joey and Kris love that they are both goofy and have the same sense of humor, values and are both close with their families. Kris loves that Joey's the perfect mix of mature and level headed, as well as spontaneous and fun loving. And Joey thinks that Kris has all the best qualities in being an Aries :)

Congratulations, lovebirds! We're so happy for you two, and we wish you many happy years!
