We are SOOOO excited to share Jodi & Brent’s engagement session with you today!!! If you could only see how adorable these two are together in real life, you’d have sore cheeks from smiling with/at them non-stop! :D At least, that’s how we felt after spending an evening with them in the woods! Jodi & Brent are fantastic photographers, and that made us even more excited/nervous for their session – but at the same time, we knew that they truly value photography and we had an absolute blast creating these photographs with them! We adore the two of them and feel very lucky to know them not only as peers in our industry, but as friends too :)

Jodi & Brent are getting married this September in Wausau and we cannot WAIT to be a part of their day!! Thank you two for such an awesome session – you were up for absolutely anything, and we hope you love these images!!

Love | K&B

Jeanne & Dan both have that personality. They’re as genuine as they come, and they also happen to be one of the cutest couples ever!! These two both radiate happiness & sincerity, and are full of personality! As Jeanne & Dan’s wedding approached, the most important part to the two of them was that all of their loved ones were there and that each one of them enjoyed being a part of their day. From the modern feel of the Figge Art Museum to the charming farmer’s market flowers (in vases that Jeanne collected especially for their celebration with her Mom & sisters!) and the classic style they brought to their day with cumber buns & bow-ties (our FAVORITE!!), we have no doubt that they achieved just that! Their cocktail hour and reception were filled with more laughter and energy than we can possibly describe with words, and the dance floor was jam-packed all night long!! In our minds, Jeanne & Dan’s wedding day really was perfect (even with the rain!) and we feel truly privileged for capturing so many beautiful moments for the two of them and their wonderful friends & family. Thank you guys so much!! :)

Love | K&B

A wedding in beautiful Door County WI when the trilliums are blooming is what we would call a dream wedding! Britanie & Steve were married on May 18th in Sturgeon Bay and their day couldn’t have been more perfect. Britanie slipped into her wedding dress at her parents’ house (on Trillium Lane!) with the help of her favorite ladies, and from the moment her dress was on, so was her smile! Britanie seriously couldn’t be seen without a smile on her face all day long. We aren’t sure what’s more contagious than a glowing-happy bride with genuine emotion written all over her face! Brit brought the smiles right out of Steve ,and we feel so lucky to have documented their wedding day!!

How absolutely gorgeous is this lovely lady!? :) We had so much fun photographing Christina in our studio – she was such a natural in front of our cameras and we just couldn’t get enough of the looks she was giving us!! Shawn of Design Lab asked us if we’d like to photograph some of his creative bouquets, and we couldn’t have imagined a more beautiful bride to pair them with! Thank you both so much for the fun playtime :)

Zainab & Mike have one of the most unique & adorable love stories we have ever heard, and there wasn’t a face without a smile as it was recalled on their wedding day! They both share a passion for traveling & exploring, and their paths crossed when they decided to attend medical school in St. Maarten. Can you imagine a more beautiful place to earn your degree than the Caribbean?!? Zainab, already on the island, received an email from a friend saying that Mike would be arriving to attend med school, just like her! She also mentioned that she had arranged for Zainab to pick Mike up from the airport to show him around, suggesting that they might hit it off ;) Mike sent a photo so that Zainab would recognize him and, after sharing it with friends, it was agreed that he was very cute! Zainab & Mike immediately had a connection, and it continued to grow as they explored the island and endured med school together.

Having met in paradise, we are certain that their wedding day in Milwaukee was equally as beautiful!! Zainab & Mike’s ceremony included the perfect blend of Persian and Jewish traditions – our favorites being the honey they tasted off of each other’s fingers for sweetness & happiness, and of course the breaking of the glass followed by a loud and heartfelt “Mazel Tov”!

Zainab & Mike, photographing your beautiful wedding was both a pleasure and a privilege!! We cannot thank you enough, and are so happy for the two of you! :)

From the moment we arrived at the Hilton in downtown Milwaukee, the energy and excitement that both Lauren and Ryan (and their awesome family/bridal party!) had set the tone for an amazing day! Lauren was absolutely radiant. Together, her and Ryan made an elegant & classic bride and groom :) Both Marquette alums, it only seemed fitting to tie the knot at Gesu – an absolutely stunning church to say “I do!”

To celebrate Lennon turning one, we planned a session with one of our favorite little families (and closest friends!), and boy were we in for a treat!! Lennon had us smiling the entire time – it is seriously impossible to NOT light up when you’re around him! We hope this session brings the biggest smile to your face – we clearly spent the afternoon smiling over here as we prepared their images! ;)

 Andy & Eric invited us to Chicago for their engagement session two weeks ago, and it was so cute watching them fall into each other’s arms then burst out into smiles & laughter the entire time!! We met in Lincoln Park where the trees were freshly blooming and it was green & vibrant in every direction – we truly couldn’t have created a better place for their session if we tried! :)

Thank you two so much for having us – we cannot wait to be a part of your wedding day at the Osthoff Resort in just three months!!

If you know us, you know that there are several things that we especially love: time with family, good wine, and everything California! Last month we were able to enjoy six days packed full of exactly that :) Before our wedding season kicked off, we snuck away to wine country and soaked up some CA sunshine with Butch’s parents, sister Stevi, and her boyfriend Charles. After a few days of winery hopping and lots picnicking, we mixed it up a bit by photographing Stevi & Charles all around West Dry Creek Road and the property where we stayed. Really, does it get any better than a couples session in wine country?!

Without a hint of doubt, one of the highlights of our trip was our visit to Storybook Mountain Vineyards. We were given a private tour by one of the five people who runs Storybook, and found ourselves blown away by the intimate feel of this winery! After walking the land, we headed into one of the oldest wine caves for our tasting. WHAT an experience! We couldn’t help but ship a few bottles back to WI and can’t wait to share them together!!

It’s hard for us to look at these pictures and resist the urge to hop on a plane and scoot back to Sonoma rrrrright now, but we are super thankful to have these images to remember our trip by. We cannot WAIT to get back for our next visit, and until then we’ll enjoy decorating our home with prints & canvases! ;)

Love | K&B

This session is extra meaningful to the two of us for SO many reasons!! We just escaped to wine country with family and while we were there, we had the chance to photograph Stevi & her boyfriend Charles. You may have already seen the resemblance and if you had a feeling that Stevi might be related to Butch, you guessed right – she’s his sister! :) It’s no secret that we LOVE everything California and everything wine. Put them together along with our favorite couple, great company, dreamy romantic light, and a house in the middle of a vineyard, and we’re head over heels! One evening, we took a break from vacationing to weave through vineyards and explore beautiful hillsides at sunset with Stevi & Charles. How adorable are they together!!

Stevi & Charles, we’re so happy that we were able to create these images with you and we can’t wait to visit you again soon! :)

Lots of Love! | K&B
