In 2010, we first met Kelly when she was a bridesmaid in her cousin’s wedding that we had the honor of photographing. Fast forward to 2014 when we had a fun, memorable time with her and her Mom during Kelly’s senior portrait session! Next came the spring of 2015 when we were feeling inspired and invited Kelly to jump in front of our cameras for an editorial session.

All that to say – can you IMAGINE our excitement when over the summer we heard from Kelly because she was engaged and planning a wedding with her fiancé, Pete! We couldn’t be more thrilled to be their photographers, and loved this snowy session with the two of them and their dog, Frankie! Very happy photographers over here, filled with excitement for Kelly & Pete and their upcoming Wausau Country Club wedding! :)

Winter engagement portrait session in Wausau, Wisconsin. Photographs captured on Contax 645, Pentax 67, Nikon F100 with Fuji Pro 400H and XP2 film. Processed by Fast Foto Film Lab.

After a fun engagement session planning date with Taylor & her engagement session stylist, Kase Styles, we had dreamed up a vision for her & Adam's engagement session. We couldn't wait for September 21st to arrive! Fast forward to just two weeks ago and we were venturing into the Northwoods of Wisconsin with lanterns in tow, heading up to Taylor's family's beautiful lake home in Hazelhurst, Wisconsin. Upon arriving to the property where Taylor, Adam and their friends & family created countless memories over the years, we noticed the forecasted rain for other parts of WI had shifted paths – it was now heading straight in our direction with an ETA of about 10 minutes. With this in mind, Kasey quickly styled a romantic spot at the end of the dock where Taylor & Adam promptly curled up and shared just how ADORABLE they are with our cameras! Taylor was absolutely stunning, Adam equally as handsome, and we could have photographed them all night on every inch of the most beautiful lakeside property. :)

After a short time, the rain kindly suggested we take the rest of their session indoors which ended up being a blessing because - WOW!! It felt like we were photographing Taylor & Adam on vacation at an elegant yet cozy cabin in Lake Tahoe, complete with a glass of wine by the fire. :) These two are one of the most welcoming, down to earth couples and we couldn't be more excited to be a part of their wedding day next June!

Love,

Kelsy & Butch
