Katelyn and Joel’s wedding day was no exception, filled with meaningful family moments, outdoor fun, and a unique reception full of personal touches. Whether you’re searching for a scenic venue or planning an intimate outdoor wedding, this beautiful story shows why a Camp Kon-O-Kwee Wedding is worth considering.
A Family-Centered Celebration
Katelyn and Joel always envisioned their wedding as a day to celebrate family. After the campers had left for the season, Camp Kon-O-Kwee provided the perfect serene and picturesque setting for this intimate celebration. With so much family involvement, this day was filled with emotional, heartfelt moments, making it one of the most memorable weddings I’ve had the honor of photographing.
On the morning of the wedding, we adjusted plans to include their family in the first look, which made it extra special. Surrounded by their loved ones, Katelyn and Joel shared their emotional first glance at each other. Their wedding party also consisted entirely of family members, making the day even more meaningful.
A Perfect Outdoor Ceremony
The weather was flawless—sunny with a slight breeze—ideal for an outdoor wedding at Camp Kon-O-Kwee’s Chapel area. The ceremony space, nestled among trees and natural beauty, provided the perfect backdrop for Katelyn and Joel to exchange their vows. The gorgeous floral arrangements by Community Flower Shop added just the right touch of romance, bringing bursts of color to the tranquil setting.
Capturing the Moments
We took full advantage of the stunning landscape of Camp Kon-O-Kwee during the photography sessions. From the Boat Launch and Pond to the iconic tree-lined road, each location added a unique dimension to Katelyn and Joel’s photos. The natural beauty of the camp created a serene atmosphere that beautifully complemented the couple’s radiant joy.
Katelyn prepared for the day in the Camp Private Cabin, enjoying a relaxed morning with her family. Her hair and makeup were flawlessly done by the talented team at JL Makeup Studio, allowing her to step into the day feeling like her most beautiful self.
A Reception Full of Fun and Games
Their reception in Kramer Hall was full of thoughtful details designed to entertain their guests, including the 30+ kids in attendance. Katelyn and Joel filled the camp boards with puzzles and trivia, making it a playful and interactive experience for everyone. This unique touch perfectly reflected their personalities and kept guests engaged throughout the evening.
Instead of the traditional cake cutting, Katelyn and Joel opted for a “First S’more.” It was a perfect nod to the camp setting, giving the moment a personal and relaxed twist. This touch added to the overall sense of fun and connection that filled the day.
As the evening progressed, the celebration turned into a full-blown dance party. Their guests, both young and old, filled the dance floor with energy and laughter. Outside, guests gathered around fires to make s’mores, enjoying the perfect end to a magical day.

One of the key ingredients to this wedding’s success was the exceptional planning and coordination by Victoria from Devoted to You Events. From organizing the family-first look to managing the lively reception, Victoria ensured that every detail was perfectly executed. Her ability to handle the day’s busyness while keeping everything running smoothly allowed Katelyn and Joel to enjoy their wedding without worry.
The reception meal, provided by Medure’s Catering, was another highlight of the evening. Known for their delicious and beautifully presented dishes, Medure’s delivered an exceptional dining experience that guests couldn’t stop talking about.
