A Mid-Summer Wedding at St. Anthony Catholic Church & the River Club of Mequon

Claire & Eric | July 12, 2025 | Wisconsin

Claire and Eric were married on a warm July afternoon, beginning their day at St. Anthony Catholic Church and celebrating into the evening at the River Club of Mequon.

It was a day rooted in family, faith, and a whole lot of joy.

A Church Ceremony Rooted in Tradition

Claire’s sister (a bridesmaid) and her fiancé (a groomsmen) walked down the aisle together - just five months before they’’d return to the same church for their own wedding.

The most gorgeous stained glass windows!

Dusty blue bridesmaids stood in contrast to the warm interior tones, adding a soft summer palette without overwhelming the space.

The ceremony was held at St. Anthony Catholic Church, with three readings woven in and Deacon Kevin Kalnins presiding. It was meaningful, reverent, and so full of love.

Potraits

After family and wedding party portraits, everyone headed north to the River Club of Mequon. The golf course setting opened everything up—wide open afternoon light and the most beautiful willow tree right on the course. We had so much fun with portraits out there.

A Summer Evening That Moved Easily

Giant windows overlooking the golf course. A summery palette of bright colors. Perfect weather and amazing food. The River Club of Mequon was such a gorgeous backdrop for the reception.

The goofy wedding party antics and hilarious speeches made sure no one took themselves too seriously—and honestly, the room was just fun, fun, fun.

love watching the way the sisters have so much fun together!

At the end of the day, it was really just about the people. And Claire and Eric had the very best ones around them.
