A HUSBAND & WIFE PHOTOGRAPHY TEAM | DESTINATION WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS BASED IN CENTRAL WISCONSIN
We were so excited to see Katie & Bryant’s snowy engagement photos on Wisconsin Bride Magazine’s blog yesterday! K&B’s surprise engagement session was such a breath of fresh air for us last month :) A big thank you to Katie & Bryant and the lovely ladies of WI Bride!! XO

We absolutely love it when couples use their engagement session to introduce us to locations that are meaningful to the two of them. Ashley and Adam did just that, and the ease with which they loved on each other in front of our cameras was effortless. From the moment we first met A&A just off of the whimsical Grand Avenue area of St Paul, we felt giddy behind our cameras :) He’s witty and charming. She’s stunningly beautiful and so sweet. And together with their golden doodle named Chloe, they are about to start a life that almost seems like a fairytale. We are over the moon about the images we created with them on a perfectly crisp Sunday morning and cannot wait to photograph their wedding next month!

Lookin’ good you two! Very cute! :)
Gorgeous couple! Lovely photos! And oh my goodness, that dog is the cutest ever :) Can’t wait to show Katie! :)
Spending time with Becky and Chris guarantees at least two things: a constant smile on your face and a happy heart. The reasons for this are simple – they radiate positive energy, they are full of laughter, and they have two of the biggest hearts we have ever met! With this in mind, we knew that they would shine even brighter on their wedding day.
On December 3rd, it rained for the majority of the day except for the perfectly timed hour when we were outside creating their portraits. We even had a few incredible moments of sunshine! With or without the sun poking through the rain clouds for those few minutes, Becky and Chris’ faces were absolutely glowing. But in that moment, while we wanted to be doing backflips while taking their picture in the middle of the street on a stone bridge against the most beautiful rays of sunlight, the two of them were lost in their own moment, completely soaking in their perfect day.
Given the time of year and early fading light, Becky & Chris chose to see each other before their ceremony. Their first look was truly one of the cutest we have ever witnessed!!
Becky, you made SUCH a beautiful bride!!
These were the moments where we wanted to do backflips & cartwheels behind our cameras. LOVE!
Becky and Chris, photographing your wedding was the perfect way to end our 2011 wedding season! Your love is such an inspiration, and we are so grateful to have been part of your celebration. We couldn’t possibly be more happy for the two of you. Happy one month wedding anniversary!

We hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday thus far!! We have been very busy little elves at the McCartney studio preparing packages for our lovely clients and awesome family members… We even managed to get most of our holiday cards out just before Christmas, can we get a WOOT! :) Now we’re off to drive our sleigh around the state of WI to visit both of our families and enjoy a nice long week off. Happy Christmas, everyone! Here’s a little peek at our 2011 card… See you in the new year!!

Love you guys! My little sis saw your Christmas card on our fridge last night and was oohing and ahhing over it. :) Great taste, as always! :)
Katie’s older brother, Brian, and his lovely wife, Sara, happen to be two of our very best friends. When they wanted to surprise Katie & Bryant with a surprise engagement session, we were on board right away! :) The idea was for Brian to photograph them around downtown Wausau on the first snowy day… then we would “randomly” show up and decide we wanted to take their picture too! Well, the plan worked perfectly last Friday afternoon and we had so much fun braving the cold for a beautiful session with them!! Katie and Bryant are absolutely adorable together, and being part of their surprise session was the highlight of our day!!!
Love // K&B
Katie, you are gorgeous!
