WAUSAU WISCONSIN WEDDING | MICHELLE & RYAN!

Michelle & Ryan's wedding style was a beautiful harmony of classic & elegant meets vintage! If you ask us, this combination couldn't more perfectly reflect the two of them and their relationship. Together, Michelle & Ryan have a calming nature about them that makes you feel genuinely appreciated and blessed to be a part of their lives. Spend one second with them and you can tell that they fill each other up, just by the way they so effortlessly fall into one another. :)

In the months leading up to their wedding day, Michelle & Ryan worked closely with Anna of A.Styled Event and Evolutions in Design to bring their wedding day vision to life! From a charming "welcome to our wedding" sign, the cutest apple cider favor display, expertly created chalkboard signage and countless blooms in stunning amber glass vases, it's clear that no detail was left untouched! Bringing a stylist into their wedding celebration truly elevated it to an event that not only represented Michelle & Ryan as couple, but also brought an element of creative surprise that wow'd their guests! The team Michelle & Ryan assembled to bring their Jefferson Street Inn wedding to another level is one that we are so fortunate to have been a part of.

We're actually starting to think that Michelle & Ryan are an incredibly lucky pair. Their wedding fell on the most PERFECT fall day imaginable, just like their engagement session last fall!! All day long, we were in awe of the vibrant color that had just "popped" and the sunny skies surrounding us. Have we ever mentioned that fall is our FAVORITE?? ;)

Thank you so much, Michelle & Ryan, for choosing us to photograph your wedding day! You two are such a sweet couple, and we feel very lucky to have been the ones capturing these moments for you & your family!! :D

Love | Kelsy & Butch

413 ON WACOUTA WEDDING | MEGAN & CAM!

Megan & Cam were married last October, and we've been hanging onto their gem of a wedding day until just the right time to share. The trees just popped into shades of yellow, orange & red in Wausau, and we KNEW this was the perfect moment to unveil their beautiful celebration to you!!

From an intimate ceremony to their warm & inviting reception, Megan & Cam's style and rich color palette was carried though every element. A few things they love as a couple are great food, wine, and the company of their closest friends & family. They managed to make their reception feel like a large dinner party, and they did so by not only spoiling their guests with delicious bites, but also by making sure each & every guest knew just how important it was to have them there. 413 on Wacouta was the perfect setting for such a celebration, and La Petite Fleur created the most elegant bouquets and centerpieces to really bring the space to life!

When we think of Megan & Cam's wedding day, the first think we think of is how romantic it was. After getting ready in the elegant Saint Paul Hotel, Megan & Cam saw each other for the first time at Irvine Park. As Megan descended down the grand staircase, Cam waited for her with the cutest smirk on his face. Megan snuck up on her groom-to-be, and they had one of the sweetest "first looks" we have ever photographed. It was as if we were watching a movie!!

Everyone join us in congratulating this wonderful couple, as their first wedding anniversary is right around the corner – October 13th! :)

Love | Kelsy & Butch

GREENWOOD HILLS WAUSAU WEDDING | JODI & BRENT!

Thank you, Style Me Pretty, for featuring Jodi & Brent's wedding!! :)

From the moment we arrived to Jodi's parents house the morning of her & Brent's wedding, she was non-stop smiles and overcome with emotion. Taking in every moment of her & Brent's wedding day and letting each part sink in. Even moments before Jodi slipped into her beautiful lace gown, she was saying "oh my gosh, I'm about to put on my wedding dress!!" :)

Jodi wrote three special letters to be shared on her wedding day – one for her Mom, one for her Dad, and one for her soon-to-be husband. Before heading off to the church she shared a moment with her Mom, and then her Dad, to deliver the letters. She simply wanted them to have a reminder of how much she loves them both – one of the sweetest gestures we've ever seen! Shortly after arriving to St. Mary's, Jodi & Brent also shared a moment before their ceremony. With a modern take on tradition, Brent kept his eyes closed so that he wouldn't actually see his lovely bride until she walked down the aisle. They were able to comfort one another and share a quick embrace before taking time to read the letters they had written for each other. These moments were so emotionally powerful and we felt incredibly lucky to capture such true love!!

Jodi & Brent poured every ounce of themselves into planning their wedding day! Nearly every detail was lovingly created, designed and styled by the two of them – with just the right amount of help from sweet friends & family members! Paired with stunning florals by Fawn of Inspired by Nature, their celebration was absolutely wonderful!! Every single table at their Greenwood Hills Country Club tented white reception had an entirely unique centerpiece, and each one told a part of Jodi & Brent's love story. From shared passions (the Packers & photography, to name a few) to tales of their loved ones and cute little ways they've grown together as a couple, Jodi & Brent expressed what makes them them in such a creative way! And, might we say, a way that we absolutely adored photographing!! :)

After photographing Jodi & Brent in the blue classic car they rode away in post-ceremony and fun pictures with their wedding party, we were also able to sneak Jodi & Brent out for a few evening portraits. We were COMPLETELY blown away by the gorgeous light we were blessed with during this time!!! Being that Jodi & Brent are photographers as well, they were up for any & all picture-taking-time and were excited right along with us about the crazy-beautiful sunset shining over the greens!! Such a romantic setting, and they ROCKED it! :)

Jodi & Brent's love is so apparent. You could spot the two of them in the middle of a giant crowd and know that they are not only meant to be together, but they're also very much in love! Brent's sweet words and thoughtful gestures light Jodi up & bring out her biggest smiles, and she has cute little ways of making smiles creep across his face, too. :) As a couple, these two are not only a wonderful bride & groom whose wedding day we were given the absolute honor of photographing, they are also great friends of ours! Jodi & Brent, we couldn't possibly be more happy for the two of you!!! Thank you SO much for choosing us to capture your beautiful day! :)

WAUSAU BARN WEDDING | JEN & ROB!

Jen & Rob's wedding celebration was filled with thoughtful gestures & talents from friends and family to make their dream day come true. :) Well, one part of it at least! We photographed the first day of of Jen & Rob's 2-part wedding weekend – the day they promised their love to one another atop Rib Mountain (the same place where Rob proposed AND where we captured their wintery engagement session)!

After a beautiful ceremony covered in blue skies, Jen & Rob hopped into a hot red corvette and drove off to a perfectly styled private barn celebration just miles away. We were seriously blown away by the gem of a barn where we had the pleasure of capturing Jen & Rob mingling, laughing, and cheersing with their family! With decor & wooden elements created by Jen's parents and meticulous styling by Jenna A Events, they treated their closest loved ones to a delicious meal and great company :)

Jen & Rob are such a radiant, happy couple! It's honestly quite hard to imagine the two of them NOT smiling – Jen especially!! Her smile & laughter is 10000% contagious, and Rob looks at her with the most loving eyes. We have no doubt that the second half of Jen & Rob's Labor Day wedding festivities were just as joyful, and feel truly lucky to have documented this day!!

Love | K&B

OSTHOFF RESORT ELKHART LAKE WEDDING | ANDREA & ERIC!

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
