Coffee by the lake in Milwaukee, a sunset rooftop dinner at their favorite restaurant with a city view, a romantic walk along the Stone Arch Bridge – Libby & Allen had countless ideas for their engagement session, all of which we adored and were completely on board with!! That is, until they mentioned a coffee date on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River in Libby's charming hometown. At that point, we were ecstatic and simply couldn't wait for July 8th to arrive. :) Just last week on what felt like the most perfect evening with lovely light & an AMAZING couple, we visited and thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Prescott!
These two are pretty much ridiculously adorable together, and so sweet & thoughtful. Libby's love of all things gold, tulle, and girly combined with Allen's superb style made for a gorgeous session, and to top it off they weren't afraid to let loose & have fun in front of our cameras. We chatted and shared stories & laughter while waiting for the sun to dip below the tree-line, and then it was time for their lantern release. Such a grand way to end a fun evening!
Libby & Allen are planning a Milwaukee Art Museum wedding next May, and we cannot WAIT for their day to come!!
Love, Kelsy & Butch

As we wiggled our way over to Northwestern, we immediately fell in love with the charm of its intimate campus. Old buildings with stunning architecture, open spaces shaded by giant trees, and Lake Michigan – what more do you need? :) Clearly, the answer to that is Samantha & Robb because we had so much fun exploring their Alma Mater with them!! These two decided to have their engagement session on the campus where they met, and we always love when couples invite us to a place that is meaningful to them! It was adorable to see Samantha & Robb light up with each other as we made our way around campus :)
This engagement session was kind of like a dream. One of those really good dreams that you want to relive over & over!!
They stepped out of their vehicle and, immediately, our excitement for this session grew times ten. After having Meghan & Tony over to our home for a consult earlier this year we already knew these two were adorable and so easy to chat with, but then... we saw Meghan's gorgeous dress!! Give us a lace dress and well-styled couple in a luscious greenery-filled location and we're excited, but then throw in little details like that lovely cut-out in Meghan's dress and the sweet way Tony could make her smile with a slight nose scrunch, and we're in LOVE!
