Bride and Groom on Bridge in Sturgeon Bay Wisconsin

Door County Wedding / Sturgeon Bay, WI / Quinn + Josh

Josh grew up spending summers at his family’s cottage just south of Sturgeon Bay. Door County isn’t just a place he likes — it’s genuinely where some of his best memories live. So when he and Quinn decided to get married, coming back to the peninsula made complete sense. They said their vows at Corpus Christi in Sturgeon Bay and celebrated with their people at Stone Harbor Resort on the waterfront in downtown Sturgeon Bay — a full Door County weekend for a couple who knew exactly what they were doing.

A Few Things We Loved About Quinn + Josh’s Wedding

– Josh is an outdoors person through and through — snowmobiling, biking, softball, time on the water. You could feel that energy in how relaxed and present he was all day. Nothing rattled this guy.

– Quinn has a warmth that you feel immediately. One of those people who makes everyone around her more comfortable just by being herself. Easy to photograph, easy to be around, genuinely fun to spend a day with.

– They were one of the most laid-back couples we’ve worked with, and that always makes for a better day. When the two people at the center of everything are at ease, the whole thing follows.

– A groomsman brought a drone. The drone crashed into the water directly in front of the wedding party. Ray had recently handed off the controls to the drone. Ray did not cause the crash. We want that on the record. :)

– Door County in wedding season is hard to beat as a backdrop. The bay, the light, the whole feeling of the peninsula — it does something to photographs that’s hard to manufacture anywhere else. Josh knew what he was doing picking this place.

Looking for a Door County wedding photographer? We love shooting up there and know the area well. Get in touch here.

We're on a treasure hunt for beauty. We want our images to take you right back to the grand moments of your day, and to the milliseconds that flew past, the ones you couldn't stop to breathe and look around and appreciate while they were happening. We don't invent those moments. We recognize them.

Our couples trust us to document the people and moments that matter most to them, which frees them up to spend the day with each other instead of with us.

We're rooted near Viroqua, in Wisconsin's Driftless Region, a small foodie-and-outdoors town that shaped how we see beauty in everyday moments. From there we travel across the state, with Madison and Door County among our most-photographed areas, alongside Milwaukee, Spring Green and La Crosse. Nineteen years in, we still don't take the trust of a wedding day lightly.
