the mccartneys bio picture
  • we are the mccartneys!

    we are butch and kelsy mccartney, a wisconsin-based husband and wife photog team!

    we absolutely love what we do - it's often hard to call our photography "work" because we're doing what we love with the one we love :) while we're on the subject, the thing we love photographing most is l-o-v-e!

    when we're not taking pictures, we love sharing a pot of coffee in the morning, exploring new cities, going to concerts, having picnics, and spending as much time with our families as possible.

    we are so happy that you've found us - we would love to hear from you! feel free to leave us a comment or shoot us a message :)

    best,

    kelsy+butch

say hello to steven! we had a blast photographing his senior portraits and were pumped when he mentioned his passion for hockey… that got our wheels turning and we were able to incorporate his hockey gear into some fun shots with dramatic lighting. his mom, sister and girlfriend tagged along to keep us company and bring out his natural smile, whether he wanted to smile or not! ;)

katie + brian {part one} wausau wedding photographer

Katie and Brian made sure no one was disappointed in missing any 4th of July plans by making their wedding absolutley BEAUTIFUL. They got engaged in Boston, and on their wedding day Katie gave Brian a set of cufflinks made out of coins from the Massachusets Bay Transportation Authority (which also made for some nice detail shots!). They let the magical hands of Evolutions in Design turn the already classic Wausau Country Club into an elegant setting where guests mingled through three different rooms, all of which had windows letting in a gorgeous sunset. Already high school sweethearts, the two of them even experienced going to Marquette University together (quite the celebration among the Marquette alums at the reception too!). All the decorations and details were enough to make Katie smile all day and night, but she saved the biggest smiles for when her new husband’s face was inches from her own. They danced the night away to a fabulous band, The Hometown Sweethearts who were sure to keep the dance floor completely packed all night long :) Enjoy part 1 of their wedding photos and stay tuned for part 2 to see their gorgeous reception, which will follow in the next few days! :)
