ROMANTIC DOOR COUNTY BEACH WEDDING | BECKY & JACK

After debating between a destination or Door County wedding, Becky & Jack dove head first into planning from their home in Virginia. It is safe to say that we were ecstatic when they reached out to us for their wedding photography!! We knew of a few pieces Becky planned to make for their wedding day, but were genuinely blown away when their big day arrived. She not only created personalized hangers for each of her bridesmaids, but went on to decorate a beautiful ceremony  site on the beach at her Aunt's house on Lake Michigan, as well as every inch of their reception at the Landmark Resort! Becky & Jack's wedding day was filled with emotional moments that left us feeling distinctly honored to photograph them. From the thoughtful "something's" Becky's bridesmaids gifted her just after she slipped into her dress to the sand mixing ceremony with Jack's (and now Becky's!) children that united them as a family of five and the surprise release of butterflies, Becky & Jack's wedding day was truly a family affair! :)

To Becky & Jack and your adorable, welcoming family: Thank you so much for the privilege of allowing us to photograph such a passionate wedding celebration!

Love | K&B

LOVELY WAUSAU COUNTRY CLUB WEDDING | NICOLE & ERIC!

Nicole & Eric are two of the most caring, genuine and thoughtful people we have ever been lucky enough to meet, get to know, and photograph. They each have a selfless aura about them, and that definitely shined through on their wedding day as they were more concerned about their guests than themselves! We even caught Nicole, who is a hair stylist by day, doing one of her young cousin's hair while she was supposed to be getting ready herself because she wanted them to feel beautiful on her wedding day too! How amazing is that? :) As a couple, they are absolutely the perfect fit -- she brings out his silly side and makes him laugh, and he is the perfect compliment to her -- SUCH a joyful couple!! Their ceremony was held at a classic church in Wausau, and from there they led their guests to our favorite reception site in town, the Wausau Country Club! By pairing that with an AMAZING florist, Randy from Evolutions in Design, Nicole & Eric's wedding day was truly stunning!! We felt lucky to float around the course with Nicole & Eric on the other side of our cameras -- they are so beautiful, and that doesn't even begin to touch how awesome they are on the inside.

Wedding days fly by faster than anyone could ever imagine until they experience it themselves. We know just how important it is to step back and soak in each moment and every special guest around you. Capturing these moments is SO important, and we are incredibly honored that Nicole & Eric invited us into their lives to capture them with their most beloved family & friends!!

Nicole & Eric, from the bottom of our heart, thank you!! We are so happy for the two of you!

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!! :)
