Intimate Madeline Island Destination Wedding

I’m all about an intimate, extra intentional, midwest destination wedding. Kortney and Matthew’s day was exactly that and SO incredibly sweet.

These two knew from the get-go when they got engaged that Madeline Island, one of the Apostle Islands in Northern Wisconsin that they both had spent time on growing up, would make the perfect location for their wedding day. This wedding day was full of locally sourced vendors, DIY projects put together by the bride herself (all the stationary!!!), and a village of family and friends who made it all happen together. Definitely my idea of the perfect day! :’)

They got married on a property on the island that sat right on the water. The property had several different cabins on site where the bride + her bridesmaids, and groom + his groomsmen got to spend the morning of the wedding getting glammed and spending quality time with one another. From their dockside first look, to their beach ceremony -- Kortney and Matthew's day was the epitome of a Lake Superior wedding day.

One of the sweetest moments of their day was their first look where they shared personal notes with each other. I will always strongly recommend my couples take the time to do is read each other personal vows or love notes during the first look. It's your wedding day afterall! Take this opportunity to soak in the sentimental moments :)
