Trusha + Avery’s Elopement at The Castle Vineyard | Cleveland, WI

August 31, 2023 || Elopement at The Castle Vineyard

We’re Wisconsin wedding photographers who believe that intimate doesn’t mean simple—it means intentional, beautiful, and deeply personal. This elopement at The Castle Vineyard in Cleveland, Wisconsin was proof that even the quietest days can be full of unforgettable moments. With thoughtful touches and timeless style, this couple made their day completely their own. We were honored to help bring it to life.

A Simple and Intimate Elopement

The couple envisioned a very small wedding day—just the two of them. No distractions, just vows and forever. While their guest list did grow to included immediate family, they were able to keep their celebration intimate. They chose The Castle Vineyard for its peaceful setting and romantic charm.

On the day of the elopement, a small accident delayed the officiant. We adjusted the timeline and helped keep things calm and stress-free so the couple could stay fully present. Our goal is always to support you behind the scenes while capturing the moments that matter most.

Classic and Timeless Elegance

The bride’s gown had a beautiful, traditional silhouette—perfectly suited for the timeless vibe of the day. She made her own bouquet with meaningful flowers, and even the one-tier cake was elegant and intentional.

We helped direct prep details to ensure everything photographed beautifully, and offered gentle posing suggestions to create natural, graceful portraits. With only a handful of guest to manage, the couple had space to slow down, connect, and be fully in the moment.

The Castle Vineyard – The Perfect Backdrop

With vineyard rows stretching into the distance and the charming stone castle as a backdrop, this venue felt like a storybook. We offered guidance throughout the day, suggesting portrait locations with the best light and coordinating a quiet first look that felt both personal and cinematic.

Every corner of The Castle Vineyard is a stunner—making it an ideal place to begin a life together.

Advice to Other Couples

When asked what advice they’d share, the couple said, “Stay true to your vision. Don’t let tradition or pressure distract from what really matters—your love and the journey ahead.” We couldn’t agree more.

A Day Filled with Meaning

From the quiet ceremony to the bride’s DIY bouquet, every element reflected a love that was simple, honest, and beautifully intentional. These are the kinds of days we live for—where our role as photographers also means being calm guides, creative eyes, and your quiet support.
