My husband and I had been watching their blog for a couple years and knew that we wanted to have the McCartney's photograph our wedding. Butch and Kelsey were such a delight on our wedding day and the pictures they provided are absolutely stunning. We are so lucky to have such beautiful memories! Thank you for making our day so perfect :) -

Such professional, fun, and talented photographers! Just the people you want hanging around with you all day on your special day :) We were so comfortable with them and they really do a great job of capturing those truly special moments. Looking through our pictures and albums, it's as if we are reliving the day! Priceless, quality pictures from The McCartneys! -

Hiring Butch & Kelsey McCartney was the best decision of our entire wedding, and we have amazing pictures to prove it. Words can't express how highly we recommend them. We hired them for both our engagement session and our wedding day.
Their talent is undeniable. They always seemed to be in the right place at the right time to capture every amazing candid moment. The way they capture light in outdoor photos makes every photo look magazine worthy.
In addition, they're both really sweet people. Their positive energy & enthusiasm is contagious. They're the kind of people you'd want to hang out with outside of your wedding day too. They're also incredibly thoughtful and don't overlook any details. Everything we got from them felt like a surprise "gift." I instagramed the un-boxing of the wedding photos they sent us because it just looked & felt that special!
And to boot - they got our wedding pictures on Style Me Pretty. I couldn't believe it - definitely the cherry on top of the wedding cake!

I used Photography by McCartney for both my wedding and my newborn's first pictures. They are an excellent team that had more of a photojournalistic approach to their photography. They captured our wedding as it happened as opposed to staging things. I've always thought it unusual when a wedding photographer will stage the first dance or cake cutting... Butch and Kelsey were there for the entire thing and did an amazing job. Instead of the generic group photos we went to a park and just had fun with our wedding party. My husband absolutely hates having his picture taken, on our way to the reception after all the photos he said, "Wow, that was actually fun!" That basically sums up our experience with Photography by McCartney. It was fun and we have amazing pictures that will help us remember our special day forever. -

The McCartneys are absolutely amazing! We couldn't ask for more perfect pictures that captured our big day. Also, Kelsey and Butch are such fun to work with and people we would love to hang out with on a regular basis! Our wedding party loved them as well and I get so many compliments on our photos. They were the one vendor we splurged on and it was definitely worth the price. -

We really enjoyed that they work as a team, splitting up to capture all the special moments. They are recently married and young, you can see that through their images, focusing on the candid events throughout the day. Butch & Kesly were extremely flexible when we frequently changed our travel schedules to meet with them. We can truly say that we plan to stay in touch and that we have made new friends! Side note: we also ordered our Christmas photos from them and they arrived less than 2 days later, WI to CA...amazing! -

The McCartneys are not only amazing photographers but wonderful people. As a team, they take the time to really get to know you and become your friends along the way. While working with them for our engagement session and our wedding day, Kelsy and Butch brought a contagious energy that added to our excitement and made us feel very comfortable working with them. When photographing, they have a way of finding the perfect light and special small moments that really set their pictures apart from others.
Kelsy and Butch captured our day in such a timeless way that we can look back on for years to come. No where will you find such talented photographers and genuine people who truly love what they do like the McCartneys. -

Kelsy and Butch are phenomenal photographers, whose exceptional talent and skill are matched by their exceptional personalities.
After seeing examples of their work via friends who had hired them for their wedding, I knew they would be the first vendor to call when my now-husband and I got engaged. The McCartneys are incredibly professional, personable, and most importantly, masterful at what they do. They are prompt in their pre-wedding communication, provide thoughtful suggestions, and are on top of all the details (qualities that are invaluable to any bride – especially an anxious one like me!)
They have an amazing way of making you feel at ease in front of the cameras and letting you enjoy the moments they are capturing, while at the same time skillfully guiding the process and ensuring they are getting amazing photos. We truly enjoyed their company during our engagement session as well as their photography of our rehearsal dinner and wedding, and are incredibly happy with our experience working with the McCartneys. It was really nice to hear from our friends and family who they photographed as well, that our photographers were "so fun to work with."
It is wonderful, beyond words, to reflect on the moments and memories from the happiest day of our lives, and we have Kelsy and Butch to thank for capturing them so beautifully. -

Kelsey and Butch were the most wonderful photographers!! We loved their style and their easy going nature. You can really tell that they enjoy taking photos because they have fun while they are doing it! I can not say enough good things about this fun talented duo. :) They were very professional and flexible with our plans, and we feel that the value was amazing. Not only do their photos turn out wonderful, but their product is just as good. I liked the fact that the albums are handcrafted and can easily be put out on the coffee table because they are so well made and hard-wearing. We would absolutely recommend these two whole-heartedly to anyone looking for a fresh unique take on wedding photography. In fact when we were on our honeymoon in Hawaii last month that's all we kept saying... "Kelsey and Butch would take such AMAZING photos here!!!! We should've hired them to come along with us!!!!' :D
Thank you two again soooo much for helping us remember how beautiful our day was!!! :)
<3,
Jen & Jeff Nieuwenhuis -

Kelsey and Butch captured our day in the most beautiful way. Their shots reflected our style and they were tons of fun to work with. We could tell that they really enjoy what they do because they were always having fun. We also received many compliments on our wedding photos as well as our album designs, and we highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a pair of wonderful photographers.:) -

Having Kelsy & Butch photograph our wedding, was like having two of our close friends do it. They were so much fun to work with and they captured every ounce of joy from our wedding day. We had people tell us that after they looked through our pictures they felt like they had actually been there. -

The McCartney's are the best Wausau has to offer and I know you will love them. They are so easy to work with and make you feel so carefree. They are great at capturing the moments that you want while not standing out like a sore thumb.
I was looking for a photographer that was going to give me a photo-journalist point of view on our wedding day and they did that and so much more. We have so many amazing photos that we love and have actually worked with Butch and Kelsy since then because we just love them! My husband just commented this afternoon that we should have them take photos every couple of years because we love the way that they are able to capture our happiness and sense of adventure. -

Photography: Beautiful, timeless and well laid out. I didn't want oversaturated digital images for my wedding, I wanted to look back on it and see us in a way that was natural and uncontrived. They deliver.
Medium: Mix of film and digital
Responsiveness: Kelsy and Butch are punctual and very responsive, they managed our expectations in terms of delivery time and are fantastic to work with.
Personality: Positive, warm and upbeat and sensitive to family dynamics - first class
Professional: Kelsy and Butch were with us for the whole weekend, they showed up on time, were communicative when they needed to be and in the background capturing everything. We received TONS of compliments with everyone telling us that that they loved our photographers and now after seeing their work, love their photography. -

If you're looking for wedding photographers that totally get you and your personality, are just as excited as you are about your big day, easy to work with, totally fun, and above all...SUPER talented? Then look no further than Butch & Kelsy McCartney! They are simply amazing and as an obsessive lover of pictures I knew that I wanted to make sure our wedding photos were ones to remember and would last a lifetime. Let's just say they were so much more than I could have imagined. Moments were captured that I never knew possible and our love story was told beautifully through pictures that could be in any bridal magazine. Their love for their craft is immediately evident in all of their work and is contagious during your wedding day. Needless to say the McCartneys will forever be in our lives, not only as photographers, but as friends. You won't regret this wedding decision! :) -

John and I found the McCartney's through our good friends who have used them to capture all their precious moments (wedding and their two adorable girls)! We spoke to multiple photographers and as soon as we Skyped with Butch and Kelsy we knew we wanted them to capture our special day! We felt like we knew them for years! The amount of detail they but into their business and their clients is unlike anything I have seen or experienced! From the initial welcome box they sent us with personalized touches to the timelines and sending us our wedding photos in such a timely manner. Our pictures are incredible, so many people compliment on the quality and style! Butch and Kelsy were incredible to work with and went above and beyond our expectations in every way! I would highly recommend the McCartney's for anyone's photography needs our pictures are stunning! -

There were a few vendors during our wedding planning process that were truly a privilege to work with and the McCartneys were one of them. From our very first contact through even now, after our wedding as we are ordering our photos, they were extremely professional, brought excitement and creativity to the project, and were always incredibly responsive. They were pros. Wedding planning is a lot of work and having a vendor like them who simply handles it, does an amazing job, and is pleasant throughout is a gift. We gave them very little direction and they nailed everything. We love our photos and look forward to using them for more in the future! -

Not only are the McCartneys incredibly talented but they are also genuine, light-hearted, and full of energy! They truly have a way of capturing the most pure and real qualities in anyone that make for the most timeless photos! Every image evokes a different feeling.
When it came to budget, we had planned on putting most of our funds towards photography because we wanted to reflect on every emotion and detail of our special day for years to come through quality images. The neatest part was when our photos were ready and there were photos with details that we hadn't even remembered incorporating!
Throughout the entire planning process leading up to the wedding, we developed a friendship with Kelsy and Butch that completely put us at ease as they clicked away on their cameras. These two have such a strong passion for what they do and it's noticeable in every shot that they take; often times joking with one another about who's photo is going to be better, so cute! We were in contact on almost a daily basis to talk through colors, decorations, flowers, hair, makeup, day-of expectations, timeline of events... They basically doubled as a wedding planner for us because they were just as excited about every detail as we were!
We are beyond thrilled that we decided to work with Kelsy and Butch, we look so forward to having them photograph more of our special life events! <3 -

Butch and Kelsy were the PERFECT wedding photographers! They were able to be fun and creative, while still holding true to our wishes. They were discreet and respectful at the ceremony and then SO much fun for the post-wedding pictures and reception. I have had numerous comments from my wedding party that they were so impressed by how fun and relaxed the photographers were. Our pictures (the most important part!) turned out FANTASTIC. We are so happy with them, and again, the compliments we've gotten on them are numerous. We received all the specific shots we were looking for, along with tons of others that were so creative and artsy. My husband and I try to recommend them to anyone who is getting married in the area- we can't wait to ask them to do family pictures for us in the future!!! -

There aren't enough words to describe the praise The McCartney's deserve. Not only is their work of the highest quality, Butch and Kelsy are two of the sweetest, most sincere people who make you feel so relaxed and comfortable. Your wedding photography is the one physical piece of your wedding memories that you will go back to time and time again. The way the McCartney's capture your day will show all the true emotions and details to help you relive that day. Their professionalism, responsiveness, quality, and infectious energy simply cannot be beat. We were 100% satisfied with their service from the day we first met and booked them, through our engagement session, wedding day, and even beyond. You definately don't feel forgotten by them after the wedding is over. They make you feel as if your wedding day is as important to them as it is to you. You will not feel like "just another client /booking " with these two. And the way their photography skills compliment each other leaves no angle or emotion left uncaptured. -
