Sarah & Ryan were married on a blustery blue sky day in Kohler, Wisconsin where the land ends in craggy bluffs overlooking Lake Michigan. A little piece of Ireland sits on that bluff at Whistling Straits, a world class golf course and a world class wedding destination where Sarah & Ryan chose to say I Do under the weathered wood trellis of the Irish Barn. As I wrote in their engagement session blog post, Sarah & Ryan are a fascinating mixture of elegance and comfort, fancy and homey, gorgeous and cute, sexy and sweet. And that is exactly how their wedding day was. Stunning elegance was evident everywhere: Ryan cut a dashing figure in his Vera Wang slim cut suit and Sarah stopped hearts with side swept hair and a gown to die for. Intricately styled centerpieces overflowed with candlelight, flowers, pearls and mercury glass while bridesmaids danced and toasted in statement dresses with bold textured patterns. And there was the comfy, homey side to everything they designed: Boho chic frames and lanterns framed pictures of Sarah & Ryan and those they loved, Sarah carried a delicate bouquet composed entirely of gardenias, and together they watched the sunset from the grassy hills of the course, simply happy to be together as husband and wife.
My amazing team of Caca’ and Emily were there to capture all the love, laughter and gorgeousness and I am thrilled to share their amazing work. Congratulations Ryan & Sarah – true love looks lovely on you both.
