KELSY & BUTCH
When not taking pictures, The McCartneys love spending as much time with their family & friends as possible. Hiking with their Cavapoo pup, Parker, traveling, getting out on the water, and relaxing with a glass of wine are a few of their favorite ways to spend time together.
Kelsy & Butch love laughter with every fiber of their being, and bring that energy into not just their lives, but wedding days & portrait sessions as well. You will rarely find either of them without a smile on their face!
In a world where moments are fleeting we capture them all, big and small, so you can look back at your photographs and FEEL the love, anticipation, and joy you experienced on your beautiful wedding day that went by too fast. With a mix of candid moments and gently directed portraits, we ultimately want your wedding photography experience to be just that – an EXPERIENCE you are over-the-top pleased with!
-Kelsy & Butch McCartney
STYLE
The McCartneys have a huge heart for creating heirloom images for couples to cherish for a lifetime. They are recognized for the genuine energy and 15+ years of experience they bring to each wedding through their work.
Kelsy & Butch consider their vision one that is timeless, classic, romantic, and luminous. They love real moments, laughter, and all of the emotions present on a wedding day. As much as they enjoy portrait time with you & yours, they especially love the natural moments of your celebration!
Accepting just 10 wedding commissions per year, Kelsy & Butch pride themselves on providing the highest quality experience to their couples.
NOT 1, BUT 2
As a full-time husband & wife photography team Kelsy & Butch have photographed 300+ weddings side by side. Reading one another's minds knowing where the other is going to be at any part of a wedding day is just one of the super-powers they have acquired over the last 15+ years in business. Their couples love the effortless synchronicity & shared passion Kelsy & Butch bring to their wedding experience.
TRAVEL
When a Door County boy meets a Central Wisconsin gal and two of their favorite things are photographing near water & exploring new places, they are constantly hopping around to adventure with their cameras.
Kelsy & Butch's studio is located in downtown Wausau, Wisconsin. Most of the weddings they photograph take place in eastern Wisconsin, especially beautiful Door County (Butch's hometown). Outside of the Midwest, a few of their favorite places to photograph are Charleston, NYC, and Northern California.
"Easily one of the best decisions we made concerning our big day, the McCartneys are the whole package!
The day of the wedding goes by too fast, so having two photographers on hand made sure that we were able to capture all of our special moments.
The cherry on top of our experience is the personal connection we made with Butch and Kelsy – from our consult all of the way through the wedding day!"
