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

Kanoe & Mike are two of the sweetest people we recently had the pleasure of photographing and sharing a gorgeous summer evening with. They are warm, easy to talk to, and so natural in front of our cameras! After making our way around Veteran's Park and McKinley Arena, we headed to the restaurant where they first met: Sail Loft. We were blessed with the most beautiful light throughout their entire session and left knowing they let us capture their genuine, authentic selves! Not sure we could hope for any better feeling than that! :)

Just one example of how thoughtful these two are: a couple days after their session, the most thoughtful handwritten thank you note arrived in our mailbox. Kanoe & Mike, we cannot wait to be a part of your wedding day next June! Thank you so much for inviting us into this exciting time in your lives!

Love, Kelsy & Butch
