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

Kris and Nick also shared some VERY exciting news with us which you'll likely figure out once you get to the last photo in this post (if not before). We're so excited for this wonderful family that we're lucky to also call friends!!!
Rachel and Gary are one of the most warm, loving, and JOYFUL couples we've ever met. There's a light and kind confidence in their eyes that makes you feel like someone GREAT, because that is simply what they do. They lift you up and are a true blessing to everyone who is fortunate enough to call them a friend or family!
Lisa & Ryan are one of the most thoughtful and genuine couples we've had the pleasure of getting to know. As anyone who knows them well would guess, their wedding plans went far beyond the dress and the venue; they had guests traveling to Wausau from near & far and wanted to be sure that everyone was not only welcomed to town, but also treated like family! The best examples of these warm, intentional gestures were the welcome box each guest received upon checking in to the
