Engagement sessions are one of our favorite ways to get to know our couples before their wedding day. A time when the four of us can simply have fun creating together without a timeline. These sessions are pure FUN for the two of us and for the brides and grooms to-be who enjoy loving on one another in front of our cameras. We love when we’re able to photograph in a location that is meaningful to our couple's relationship, and this past year we were able to do just that all around beautiful Wisconsin! From Door County and Milwaukee to Wausau and Devil’s Lake, we enjoyed being introduced to & inspired by new places, as well as revisiting a few places that will always make our hearts beat a little faster! A few of these lovely faces will be getting married this year (!!!) and we’re so excited for the amazing 12 months ahead! In the coming week we'll be sharing some of our favorite images from 2015 family portrait sessions & wedding celebrations soon, and for now we hope you’ll enjoy smiling at these lovebirds :)

Love, Kelsy & Butch

Sarah & Paul visited us in Wausau for their engagement session this fall and we were so happy to have them here! Sarah is just as joyful as the image above suggests, and Paul makes her the happiest woman imaginable!! :) Spending the evening with these two was the absolute highlight of our week! They chose to make their engagement session into a romantic getaway by taking the day off work, Sarah getting her hair & makeup done, and Paul reserving a room at the Jefferson Street Inn to prolong their stay. They put so much thought into their outfits and looked absolutely fantastic!!

After photos along the creek with light making its way through the trees, they dressed up for part two of their session and we headed to Back When Cafe. Sarah & Paul love to travel and explore new restaurants together; what better way to incorporate that into their photos than at one of our favorite date night spots in Wausau! Sarah & Paul had the patio all to themselves as the sun went down, with twinkling lights behind them and an amazing glass of wine in hand. We could have photographed these two all night long and cannot wait for their wedding in Appleton next spring with Cherry Blossom Events!!

Love, Kelsy & Butch
