THE IMPORTANCE OF A PHOTOGRAPH

Family, friends and loved ones. They've got to be the meaning of life, because when they go it seems you'd give everything to have them back. Telling stories with friends helps; especially while flipping through photos of your most beloved memories. Lately, we have been viewing our photography in a different way. Pointing our lenses in a slightly different direction. We've always been aware that photographing someone's family was important, but it seems the more we photograph special events with couples who we become so close with, the more we realize how important these photographs are. These words aren't anything ground-breaking, and perhaps it's because we don't really know how to express what we are feeling at the moment with words.

You know those photographs of your parents and grandparents that you hold in your hands every now & then and absolutely adore? That's what we are trying to create. We want to capture a moment within our images that 25 years from now — even 45 years from now — makes you feel something. If our bride & groom's grandchildren are holding the prints that we delivered to them and smiling from ear-to-ear, telling their sisters and cousins how young & beautiful their grandma is… then we've accomplished our goal. That's how much value we place on the moments we see happening at the weddings we photograph.

We recently had the privilege of photographing an amazing event. It was a wedding. Family & friends flew and drove from near and far. Smiles and happy tears were everywhere to be seen, and this particular Saturday in July was absolutely beautiful. The property at which the wedding was held was that of the bride & groom's home, and it was decorated SO beautifully by the incredible Evolutions in Design team here in Wausau, Wisconsin. It was the joining of two beautiful families. We had never witnessed a wedding like this before.

We've only personally known the Hugus family for a short time. Just two weeks before their wedding, they asked us to photograph their celebration. Thankfully, we happened to have that day available! A few conversations over the phone and connecting with them on their wedding day has been the extent of our interaction. But it didn't take long for us to realize how incredible this family is. Words can't quite do justice when describing the affect they have on you — we guess it's that when you are around them, you can truly feel their warmth. And John, who ended his 17 year battle with cancer just a few days ago, had an especially welcoming presence. The smile he gave us, having not even known us for more than a couple weeks, made us feel important and genuinely appreciated on his wedding day. We are so very thankful that we were able to capture the happiness that surrounded John on his & Robin's wedding day. We will remember that day always, and couldn't be more grateful to have been a part of it.

Love | Kelsy & Butch

BACKYARD DOOR COUNTY WEDDING | KRIS & NICK

From the moment Kris mentioned "nautical" and "backyard" in the same sentence, we were especially excited for her & Nick's wedding day!! They are one of the sweetest couples ever and we absolutely adore Nick's family, so we had no doubt their wedding was going to be a stunning celebration! We also had the honor of photographing Nick's two sisters' weddings within the last few years, and it is safe to say that this family knows how to plan one heck of a wedding! ;) Kris & Nick were married on Nick's parents' beautiful land in Sturgeon Bay, which also doubles as the grounds for their landscaping business! With the help of their families, Kris & Nick put so much of themselves into their wedding day and we loved hearing all about it in our weekly email conversations leading up to their big day!! From brewing their own beer for their guests to enjoy, designing their invitations and decorating a perfectly white tent, we aren't quite sure how they managed to do it all! They even gifted all of their guests a brand new tree to take home and plant!

The feeling and energy of Kris & Nick's wedding day fit them perfectly -- a relaxed yet personalized celebration with their closest friends & family. And when you combine two people that have the most caring personality like Kris & Nick, everything else is icing on the cake! They are such a beautiful, genuine couple and their day was absolutely perfect!!

VINTAGE BACKYARD CENTRAL WISCONSIN WEDDING | LESLEY & JASON

Lesley & Jason are FUN, energetic, creative, and 100% original!! We truly feel like we won the lottery because these two entered our lives and allowed us to photograph their wedding day. We walked away from our first coffee date with them after we saw how much energy there was between them, and again during their engagement session, just two weeks before their wedding. These two are real. They LOVE each other. They have hearts of gold and make it impossible for you not to laugh right along with them. And we are SO thankful for the connection we have with them, because the way they opened up in front of our cameras is absolutely beautiful! L&J planned their wedding day from the ground up! No detailed was overlooked. Their altar. Her bouquet. Plates, silverware, glasses. Lights, doors, signs & funiture. MUSIC! (The two of them wrote their own music for their ceremony processional & their wedding party introductions!) They even constructed a bar in Lesley's parents backyard that we swear we are going to swing by yet this summer and see if they're serving! The task was monumental, but with their friends and families help, the environment that was created could not have been more perfect to tell each other that they would be there for each other forever.

We are giddy with excitement for Lesley & Jason and thank them from the bottom of our hearts for choosing us to tell their love story!!!

Love | K&B
