EAGLE RIVER WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER | SARA & BROOK

Sara & Brook's wedding:  Classic, romantic, & sophisticated. Beautiful and inspiring. Sincere, silly, & definitely real. Their wedding was a perfect reflection of the two of them, and the day they were blessed with in northern Wisconsin at the Eagle Waters Resort was absolutely fitting for two of the most genuine people you will meet! They planned a relaxed, care free wedding day that allowed them to slow down and truly soak in each moment. With their closest friends & family, S&B prepared themselves for the day in suites overlooking the waters of Eagle River, WI with towering pines, a perfect early summer breeze, and gorgeous light pouring in!

Sara & Brook's first look was easily one of the most touching we have ever photographed! The reaction Brook had when turning around to see his stunning bride revealed to him for the first time was perfect! He and Sara were locked in a moment and completely immersed in themselves, as if the two of us had vanished and it was just them, their eyes & smiles :)

After a touching ceremony we headed back to the resort where we were blessed with what felt like unlimited portrait time with Sara & Brook and their welcoming family. Smiles and laughter came so easily throughout the day and the comfort S&B found in each others arms spoke volumes to their relationship and love for one another!! We are absolutely honored to have been a part of their charming wedding day and have no doubt that the two of them have a future together filled with the perfect combination of adventure, romance, and friendship!

ADORABLE WOODSY WAUSAU ENGAGEMENT | LAUREN & CAMERON

Joyful, adorable & contagious. These are the first 3 words that come to mind when we think about Lauren & Cameron :) These two wear their emotions right on their faces, and it is impossible not to smile when you're around them!! Lauren is from Green Bay, Cameron is from Chicago, and they met 4 years ago while attending Wisconsin Lutheran College. Lauren's roommate was dating someone on the University soccer team, so she joined her to watch the boys practice and noticed a certain guy on the team with lime green shoes. With Lauren's curiosity at its peak, one thing lead to another and L&C were set up on a blind date. Four years later... they were still dating! Since their 4 year anniversary had just passed Lauren figured that if it didn't happen then, Cameron must not be proposing anytime soon. After the anniversary, to Lauren's surprise, Cameron's proposal came right around Thanksgiving weekend. His plans included cooking Lauren dinner and surprising her with a custom wine label... and of course she said yes!

One of the cutest tidbits about these two is that Lauren is a Packer fan and Cameron is a huge fan of their rivals, the Chicago Bears. When we asked Lauren how much of a Packer fan she is, she responded with a stone-cold serious "I bleed green & gold." Cameron is just as intense in cheering for his Chicago Bears, so football season can be an interesting time for the two of them! We love that they brought this competitive spirit to their engagement session and had so much fun working it into their engagement photos! L&C are planning a Milwaukee wedding this August and we are SO excited to be a part of their day!!

LAKE SUPERIOR MICHIGAN ENGAGEMENT | KIRSTEN & GENE

As a nursing student, Kirsten met Gene's sister who thought that she hands down must meet her brother, Gene. K&G ended up chatting on the phone for three hours!! Since Gene was living in Indianapolis at the time, Kirsten took a weekend trip to visit him with the mentality that if things weren't going as expected, she could always stay with her cousin ;) Lucky for the two of them, they hit it off right away and were engaged six months later! Truly, Gene bought Kirsten's ring on a Saturday and his sister wanted to see it so he brought it home with him for Thanksgiving weekend and then realized... what is the point in waiting any longer to put this on Kirsten's finger?! Of course she said yes, and we are SO excited to be a part of their Wausau wedding this August!

Kirsten & Gene are both super mellow and easy going with a great sense of humor, and we were pumped when they invited us up to Ontonagon MI (Gene's hometown!) for their engagement session on Lake Superior with s'mores, snuggling, and a perfect campfire on the beach!! :)

SPRING WISCONSIN ENGAGEMENT | AMY & JESS

From the very first time we chatted with Amy on the phone, we immediately knew that she & Jesse were going to be a couple that we just couldn't wait to work with & get to know! These two put so much thought and planning into their engagement session, and we would be lying if we didn't confess that each of them made us (Kelsy) do a little happy dance! Included in their planning was Amy's grandparents' handmade quilt & vintage croquet set (love!!) as well as a little cupcake cuteness made by Amy's friend, and this was the perfect recipe for a fun Friday evening session. Amy's laugh is completely contagious, and Jess knows exactly how to pull it out of her :) We are so looking forward to more laughs, adorably planned out details, and sweet glances at their Door County wedding next month!!

Love | K&B

PS! Be sure to take a peek at the one-of-a-kind guest book that Amy had made for their wedding!! Complete with their initials and a sweet phrase that Jess always says to her... "Grow old with me, the best is yet to be" :)

SPRING WAUSAU ENGAGEMENT ON FILM | JANA & CHRIS WIMMER

Earlier this month on the most perfect springy Saturday, we had fun playing with Jana and Chris during their engagement session! We've known Jana for years and were SO excited when her and Chris got engaged... possibly even more excited when she started talking about pictures with us!! Chris' family is huge into racing in Wausau so it was only natural that we spent time at State Park Speedway together, followed by a natural setting just before sunset  :) Jana & Chris are getting married this November in Mexico, and we were honored to kick off their wedding celebration with a beautiful engagement session!
