Wausau Country Club Wedding | Kelly & Peter

For the 15 years we've been full-time in our business together, we've been asked many times what our favorite part of a wedding day is. And, the getting ready timeframe has always been up there on our list of *many* favorite wedding moments!

The anticipation and excitement for the day is buzzing all around, there are fun and sincere moments shared between the bride & the people she loves, and it's perhaps one of the few parts of the day that feels like time isn't on fast forward.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The day Kelly married Peter was a beautiful, sunny Saturday in July. Kelly got ready at her parents home surrounded by her closest friends, and of course her sweet parents! Just across the hill, Pete and his groomsmen suited up while playing records and lots of laughs.

An outdoor ceremony on the green at the Wausau Country Club awaited them, followed by cocktail hour on the patio with passed champagne and a beautiful charcuterie display. The teamwork of Allison from Et Voila and Randy from Evolutions in Design came together to transform the dining room, bringing Kelly’s elegant garden party vision to life!

From cheers to tears, we couldn't have been more grateful to capture such beautiful and special moments for Kelly & Pete, it was truly an honor!

xx, Kelsy and Butch

WAUSAU COUNTRY CLUB WEDDING | PATTI & DAN

Patti & Dan celebrated with an absolutely classic Wausau Country Club Wedding. Evolutions in Design provided elegant florals throughout the entire day, perfectly complimenting Patti's elegant "Hollywood" gown and Dan's tux. From the moment we arrived to St. Michaels Church, the two of them were excited to marry each other and celebrate with their closest family & friends!! Patti soaked in a few quiet moments before being escorted down the aisle by her Dad to the smiling groom awaiting her. After saying their I Do's, Patti & Dan's bridal party and family made their way to the Historic Yawkey House Museum for portraits. They were blessed with an absolutely beautiful fall day as the sun kissed their shoulders all day long. Having the Yawkey House all to ourselves for portraits had our smiles touching our ears with excitement! Next, upon arriving at Wausau Country Club, we were able to escape with Patti & Dan onto the fairways. Seeing the two of them smile at each other during those portraits was just magical. The evening light was incredible, Patti & Dan were the happiest newlyweds, and there we were, capturing them on film. We feel SO lucky to have documented Patti & Dan's wedding day!

Guests enjoyed cocktail hour and a giant display of appetizers before entering the most stunning reception space at Wausau Country Club! With Patti's Mom, Micki, planning much of their wedding, she thought of every detail. Including a "kissing bell" awaiting each guest at their table. Dinner was filled with the sounds of ringing bells urging Patti & Dan to kiss just one more time, and we especially loved this means of bringing about smooches because, just like their wedding day, it felt completely timeless. Randy and his amazing team at Evolutions decorated with stunning gold chairs and white florals to make Patti & Dan's celebration romantic, and so beautiful. After sweet (and entertaining!!) toasts, the new Mr & Mrs kicked off dancing with their band, the Bluewater Kings, who from the second the first dances were over had the dance floor stomping with energy.

Patti & Dan, thank you for trusting your wedding day memories to us. We were overjoyed to spend time with you at your parents property for your winter engagement, and couldn't be happier for the two of you!

Love, Kelsy & Butch
