Emma + Brad | 10.4.25
For Emma, Door County has never been just a vacation destination. It’s been part of her life for as long as she can remember. Growing up, her family spent summers exploring the peninsula, creating traditions and memories to last a lifetime. Over the years, Brad fell in love with Door County too, joining Emma on many trips and adventures.
So when it came time to plan their wedding, choosing Door County felt like coming home.
After years of making memories here together, Emma and Brad invited their favorite people to experience the place that means so much to them. From Wisconsin Old Fashioneds and Door County-inspired dinner selections to handwritten postcards for guests, every detail reflected not only their love for each other, but also for this little corner of the world.
Their wedding at Kress Pavilion was simple, elegant, and centered on family, exactly as they envisioned it. Some of our favorite moments included a surprise birthday celebration complete with cake and song, little ones stealing the show during the ceremony and on the dance floor, and Emma’s mom teaching guests how to line dance.
A day filled with laughter and heartfelt connection, perfectly fitting for two people who are as kind-hearted as they are adventurous.
