SNOWY WAUSAU ENGAGEMENT ON FILM | JEN & ROB

Kelsy & Butch McCartney December 17, 2012

You guys! We are giddy-excited to share Jen & Rob's engagement session with you!! These two are so full of JOY that it is impossible not to constantly smile and laugh when you're around them! Together, Jen & Rob absolutely shine. And even on a crazy foggy and snowy day at the top of Rib Mountain, they were two of the most adorable people we have ever photographed :) Rib Mountain is an especially meaningful spot for these two and we cannot wait to be a part of their ceremony in this very spot in August!

BACKYARD DOOR COUNTY WEDDING | KRIS & NICK

Kelsy & Butch McCartney November 16, 2012

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!!

ROMANTIC DOOR COUNTY BEACH WEDDING | BECKY & JACK

Kelsy & Butch McCartney August 24, 2012

After debating between a destination or Door County wedding, Becky & Jack dove head first into planning from their home in Virginia. It is safe to say that we were ecstatic when they reached out to us for their wedding photography!! We knew of a few pieces Becky planned to make for their wedding day, but were genuinely blown away when their big day arrived. She not only created personalized hangers for each of her bridesmaids, but went on to decorate a beautiful ceremony site on the beach at her Aunt's house on Lake Michigan, as well as every inch of their reception at the Landmark Resort! Becky & Jack's wedding day was filled with emotional moments that left us feeling distinctly honored to photograph them. From the thoughtful "something's" Becky's bridesmaids gifted her just after she slipped into her dress to the sand mixing ceremony with Jack's (and now Becky's!) children that united them as a family of five and the surprise release of butterflies, Becky & Jack's wedding day was truly a family affair! :)

To Becky & Jack and your adorable, welcoming family: Thank you so much for the privilege of allowing us to photograph such a passionate wedding celebration!

Love | K&B

DOOR COUNTY BRIGGSVILLE GARDEN WEDDING | AMY & JESS

Kelsy & Butch McCartney July 30, 2012

Jesse waited patiently for his beautiful bride to make her way through the gorgeous landscape at Briggsville Gardens and tap him on the shoulder. Walking the gardens transports you to a place that's romantic, peaceful & secluded - the perfect place for Amy & Jesse to have a moment all to themselves and see each other for the first time on the day that they were to be married. Jess' dad provided the words that would bond them for a lifetime, and their closest friends & family collectively promised to support the vows A&J were professing to each other.

Together, Amy & Jess sealed their promise with a kiss followed by a monarch butterfly release! Rain showered them with luck & love as they wiggled through Briggsville Gardens, and then north to Cave Point to take in the beautiful county with each other, before arriving at Leatham Smith Lodge to celebrate.

Amy & Jesse, from the moment we spoke, and especially after spending time with you on your engagement and your wedding day, we knew that we were lucky to be able to photograph your wedding! We are so happy for the two of you and are beaming with excitement as we share the images we created with you on your wedding day!!
