A Dreamy Sunset Wedding at The Club at Strawberry Creek

Some of the most breathtaking wedding moments happen when nature decides to put on a show. That’s exactly what happened at a wedding I recently photographed at The Club at Strawberry Creek in Kenosha. After a day of light rain, the clouds began to part just in time for one of the most stunning sunsets I’ve ever seen, creating the perfect backdrop for the couple’s portraits.


A Beautiful Venue with a Timeless Feel

Strawberry Creek is a gorgeous venue, offering a mix of modern elegance and natural beauty. The lush green golf course, grand clubhouse, and sweeping open skies make it a dream location for wedding photography. But what really made this day magical was the way the weather transformed throughout the evening.


From Rain to Radiance

The day started with a soft drizzle, and while rain on a wedding day is said to be good luck, it can also bring some stress! But this couple embraced it with so much joy and excitement. The rain added a cozy, romantic vibe to the getting-ready moments and indoor ceremony. Guests watched as the couple exchanged vows in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, with raindrops gently falling outside.


Then, as if the universe was working in their favor, the clouds began to break just before sunset. The sky turned into a masterpiece of soft pinks, oranges, and golden hues, creating the most dreamy lighting imaginable.

Golden Hour Magic

As soon as the sun peeked through, we rushed outside to take advantage of the light—and wow, was it worth it! Some of my favorite moments from the day included:

📸 Sunset Portraits on the Golf Course – The reflections from the lingering rain added an extra glow to the scenery, and the sky looked absolutely surreal. The couple was completely in the moment, laughing and soaking it all in as they walked hand in hand through the open fields.

📸 A Romantic Just-Married Kiss – With the last light of the day wrapping around them, I captured a soft, intimate kiss that looked straight out of a movie.

📸 Dancing Under the Twilight Sky – Before heading back inside, the couple shared a spontaneous dance in the open air, with the fading sunset behind them. It was one of those unplanned, authentic moments that made the entire day feel even more special.


An Unforgettable Celebration

After their sunset portraits, the reception kicked off inside the elegant ballroom. The warm, inviting atmosphere was filled with laughter, heartfelt speeches, and a packed dance floor.

This wedding was a perfect reminder that sometimes the most unexpected weather creates the most beautiful moments. The way the clouds parted just in time for golden hour felt like pure magic—and I was so honored to capture it all.
