DOOR COUNTY FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHERS | THE GOETTELMAN'S

door-county-family-photographers-001 This family portrait session includes three of our very favorite things: Door County's gorgeous fall colors, an ADORABLE family who we are lucky to call great friends, and Butch's parents beautiful land in Jacksonport! It warms our hearts watching this family grow, spending time with them, and especially getting to take photos that they will cherish for a lifetime. :)

Cain, Terry, Olive, Stella, and Ruby are an example of the kind of family we one day hope to have. Especially after spending the day with them earlier this month, as we had a blast goofing around during the session and also enjoying a cookout and giant bonfire with them afterwards (complete with s'mores, of course)!! So much love to this beautiful family!

Love, Kelsy & Butch

DOOR COUNTY ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS AT CAVE POINT | STACY & STEVE

door-county-engagement-photos-001 We met Stacy & Steve at Cave Point in Door County for their engagement photos on a crisp fall evening. Cave Point is one of the County's most iconic destinations and, on this particular day, the giant waves were crashing and giving us quite a show! :) Door County was the most perfect location for Stacy & Steve's engagement photos as it also allowed them to soak in a relaxing weekend in the county to enjoy the fall colors!!

We had been looking forward to Stacy & Steve's session not just because we knew the two of them are awesome and we would have fun together in this beautiful place, but also because they were bringing along a special little someone who we simply couldn't WAIT to meet! How adorable is their goldendoodle pup, Jordy!?! He melted our hearts immediately and was such a good boy while we were taking pictures throughout the session. He effortlessly managed to make at least 15 friends because everyone who passed by couldn't continue on without giving his sweet, fluffy face a few pets!! It's no secret that we are also giant dog lovers, so this only made us love Stacy & Steve even more. :) We are so excited to be a part of their family farm wedding next June in Central Wisconsin!!

Love, Kelsy & Butch

UNIVERSITY CLUB OF MILWAUKEE WEDDING | SARAH & JEFF

university-club-of-milwaukee-wedding-001 Everywhere we turned we found beautiful, meaningful, and timeless. Sarah & Jeff planned a wedding day that was perfectly thought out for not just them, but also for all of their guests who were flying in from around the country. Of course, there's not much you can do when smoke fills the sky in Chicago and guests must scramble, reroute their flights, and find any form of transportation possible to be there for Sarah & Jeff's wedding. Most made it in time to see the I do's and, for the few who weren't able to make it, we hope these photographs are able to tell enough of the wonderful story that was their wedding day.

Classic elegance is the phrase that comes to mind when we think of Sarah & Jeff and their University Club of Milwaukee wedding. Personal details like Sarah's grandmother's broach attached to her bouquet, Jeff & his groomsmen playing Texas hold 'em before the ceremony like they've probably done dozens of times, and Sarah's father, Ken, with the brightest smile and glossy eyes walking his daughter down the aisle to marry Jeff, are  just a small part of what made their day so wonderful.

The University Club of Milwaukee was filled with gorgeous flowers & historic charm everywhere you turned, as well as golden chandeliers and matching chiavari chairs that warmed the room where Sarah & Jeff said I do. But, the way they loved each other all day long and the smiles on the faces of Sarah & Jeff's guests was enough to make their hearts full on the most memorable day of their lives! Not to mention their caring families, bridal party that was full of laughs, that magical sliver of a sunset we found at the end of their portrait time, or the band who had everyone on their feet immediately following the first dances.

Sarah & Jeff, thank you SO much for trusting us to document your memories on a perfectly beautiful Milwaukee, Wisconsin day! :)

Love, Kelsy & Butch

FALL ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS | MAGGIE & DJ!

fall-engagement-photos-wausau-wi-001 Maggie and DJ came to visit us in Wausau for their engagement session on an absolutely GORGEOUS fall evening!! The colors were just turning, the sun was bursting through the trees, and the four of us were nothing but smiles as we made our way around the mountain together (even with Maggie in heels!) :) These two are so sweet together, and we knew from the moment we first Skyped with them that their style & smiley faces were a perfect fit for us! Let us assure you, they are as adorable in real life as they seem from these photos!!

From DJ serenading his lovely bride-to-be with his guitar (we must say, we enjoyed the serenading as well) to us sprinting through the tall field to catch a glowing sliver of golden sunlight, this session made us even more excited for Maggie and DJ's wedding and we cannot wait for their day to come next September!!

Maggie & DJ, thank you both for making the trip to Wausau and for trusting us as we took you "off-roading" through some very thick fields in search of the perfect light! We had SO much fun with the two of you and cannot wait to celebrate with more photos on your wedding day!

Love, Kelsy & Butch

A DAY AT THE ORCHARD!

apple-picking-wausau-wi-001

It's no secret that we McCartneys LOVE all things FALL! :) Give us crisp weather, vibrant leaves, extra long walks with our Parker pup, and a sunny afternoon for apple picking, and we're happy!! This year, we visited Helene's Hilltop Orchard just north of Wausau and nearly had the place to ourselves! It was a Tuesday afternoon so we figured most normal people were at work, and it couldn't have worked out more perfectly! Parker was able to wiggle his way through endless rows and rows of apple trees without being on his leash and we had a blast filling up two giant bags with apples to share with our parents :) Cheers to our favorite time of the year and all of the gorgeous colors Mother Nature has to share with us! We hope this autumn is treating you splendidly as well :)

Love, Kelsy & Butch
