Kate and Alex, Door County Wisconsin

I always tell my closest friends, “no, I will not photograph your wedding”. Not because I’m a bad friend but because I want to partake in the festivities and love of the day! However, when one of my longest and closest friends, Kate, reached out to me and told me about her super chill, romantic and extremely fun Door County wedding, I told her I’d do it for her. I’m soooooo glad I did!

The love between Kate and Alex has always been something awe-inspiring. I’ve always loved watching them interact with each other, the way they look at each other and their constant laughter together is just absolute couple goals. Meeting them once and for a fleeting moment, and you too would see they’re soulmates.

The picturesque setting of Lake Michigan on a hot summer day was an absolute dream. Seeing one of my best friend’s stunning dress and her handsome groom being his silly fun self was a true dream come true. We had so much fun with the photos, dancing and the food was so delicious! Kate’s second dress was also a stunner. She legit looked like an actual celebrity (see bathtub photo).

Also, special shoutout to my best friend in life, Becky McCue for being my badass assistant. From blowing bubbles and taping up flashes, she was truly the best help ever! Also, Chad Wenzel was a huge help with reception lighting as well. I just love all my friends so much!

Congratulations to my sweetest and dearest friends, Lady Kate and Sir Alex of Milwaukee. I love you both so much!

Cheers!
