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!

Oneida Golf Club Wedding | Maureen & Spencer

Maureen and Spencer envisioned a wedding inspired by Tuscany. With the spectacular team of Alliey & Co and Buds N Bloom at their side, the resulting wedding celebration at Oneida Golf and Country Club was detail-filled, and truly incredible!

After their traditional wedding ceremony, a custom ice bar welcomed guests with glasses of champagne as they arrived to the reception while a violinist serenaded them. Guests then made their way to the patio where a sailcloth tent filled with lounge furniture, beautifully displayed and passed hors d’oeuvres, and live music awaited them.

Inside, Oneida’s bar featured live jazz music (with Maureen’s maid of honor at the microphone!), a cozy velvet sitting area, and the feeling of being in an intimate winery.

As guests were invited in for dinner, a live painter was already at work creating an original piece of artwork of their event. Maureen and Spencer’s king’s table was especially stunning, with the glow of Edison lights illuminating their laughter and love!

Guests greeted them with *lots* of excitement, and they were showered with warmth while listening to toasts by their loved ones! WOW, was this day a beautiful celebration of Maureen & Spencer!
