Who Says the Dance Floor Gets to Have All the Fun?
Our wedding games are not just for cocktail hour— they’re also the perfect way for your guests to take a break from the dance floor, and we’ve got the photos to prove it! Tandem Photography of Door County captured the most amazing candid shots of Eric & Erica’s loved ones battling it out in a rowdy game of giant Jenga.

We were honored to play our little part for this lovely couple who know how to throw a party!
