The Osthoff Resort holds extra special meaning for Andrea & Eric. Not only did Andrea grow up spending time at the resort each summer, it is also the romantic setting of her & Eric's engagement!! The two of them were enjoying a luxurious race weekend in Elkhart Lake when Eric surprised Andrea with breakfast in bed, then sweetly delivered his proposal as they clanked their glasses. As we got to know Andy & Eric over the last year and spent time with them during their Chicago engagement session, we realized that this proposal couldn't have been any more perfect nor could it have been any more THEM!

As a team of triathletes who spend much of their time training, A&E worked that shared passion into their wedding celebration by sending out "race packet" inspired save the dates! In kraft & green hues, this adorably set the tone for Andy & Eric's garden-inspired outdoor wedding. :) Can you BELIEVE the stunning and well-thought out details that infused every inch of their celebration?!! We were genuinely blown away and there wasn't a vignette, hug, or moment of shared laughter that we captured without a giant smile on our faces! Andy created several DIY elements, and a huge thanks goes to Katie from Jayne Weddings for making every inch of Andrea & Eric's wedding so incredibly stunning & perfectly styled!!! Seriously, this woman is amazing!

With guests who traveled from around the world to be present on their wedding day, Andrea & Eric undoubtedly blew each one of them away by their celebration and made them feel SO appreciated. Eric's family owns Schakolad Chocolate Factory in Michigan, and their sweets made a deliciously elegant treat for all of their friends & family to enjoy!

Andy & Eric, we feel SO honored to have captured your beautiful day and truly cannot thank the two of you enough for welcoming us into your celebration as if we were family!! :)

Love | K&B

CENTRAL WISCONSIN WEDDING | JACKY & CORBIN!

Jacky and Corbin's happiness & humor is completely infectious. It's nearly impossible to be around them and not have a giant smile on your face or be rolling in laughter!! Along with that comes their gentle & caring nature, and we were all smiles while capturing them embracing loved ones & grandparents on their wedding day! Jacky & Corbin took extra time to hug and thank everyone who came to celebrate with them and, to us, that speaks to just how thoughtful they are. :) Between the two of them, it's no surprise that they were surrounded by a huge following of friends & family in their wedding party!

Joyful keeps coming to mind as we recall this beautiful celebration! Thank you, Jacky & Corbin, for inviting us into your wedding day!! :)

Love | Kelsy & Butch

CENTRAL WISCONSIN WEDDING | ASCHLEY & JEFF!

Aschley is one of the sweetest, most thoughtful people we have ever met! Paired with Jeff whose humor and charming smile is especially contagious, they make an adorable couple :) Aschley brings the smiles and cutest of looks right out of him!

Surrounded by their closest friends and family, Aschley & Jeff celebrated their wedding day on a beautiful Friday in downtown Wausau. While their ceremony may have been brief, they wrote their own vows which were incredibly powerful and straight from their hearts!! They were in their own world during their first dance and we had so much fun capturing the two of them in their element. Shortly after, came a surprise that I (Kelsy) especially loved! Aschley planned & performed a special dance with her ladies to the final Barden Bella's song from one of my most favorite movies – Pitch Perfect! It was almost difficult to take pictures because I was so excited and simply wanted to cheer them on ;)

After an energizing & joyful wedding day, we hugged goodbyes with smiles on our faces and had a feeling of excitement & contentment, knowing that Aschley and Jeff had a wedding celebration that was completely them! We consider ourselves so lucky to have been a part of their day!!

Love | K&B

Robin & John's wedding day was more beautiful than any words we could possibly use to describe it. In every direction, faces were smiling, friends & family were giving one another huge hugs & warm embraces, and the most heartwarming wedding day was being celebrated! Robin & John's gorgeous home and property on Wausau's West side served as the perfect backdrop for their wedding day. What better place to promise all your days to the one you love than your very own yard, surrounded by everyone you adore?

Randy and his amazing Evolutions in Design team played the role of wedding planner, stylist, coordinator, and of course, florist. Every inch of Robin & John's property was adorned with beautiful blooms, sweet treats, and cozy gathering spaces for their wonderful guests. After a delicious meal prepared by one of Wausau's finest, Michaels, the dance floor filled quickly and Stoney Acres Farm began preparations for mouth-watering late night brick-oven style pizzas on the patio!

Words cannot express how grateful we are for being invited into this family's celebration. The impression this family leaves with you is one of warmth, happiness, and love. Robin & John, thank you so very much for the absolute privilege of photographing your celebration!

Love | K&B

Laurie & Mark's wedding at  Munson Bridge Winery was the joining of two sweet families. The anticipation & energy that surrounded Laurie & her daughters as they put the final touches on their make-up and slipped into lovely, vibrant gowns was only fitting for all of the hands-on planning they had put into this day!! After an emotional ceremony in the winery's gorgeous red barn, their closest friends & family enjoyed an authentic Swedish & German "smorgasbord" and couldn't WAIT to get onto the dance floor afterwards! Seriously, we were blown away and completely energized by the pure joy their guests showed on the dance floor!!

From the personalized ties and chalkboard signs that Laurie created to Evolution in Design's STUNNING florals, Laurie & Mark's vision for their wedding day was 100% them – vibrant, colorful, and SO happy!! Thank you both for the giant honor of capturing your celebration. We feel so lucky to have been a part of your wedding!
