Amazing Photographers!
We chose the McCartneys as the photographers for our engagement shoot and our wedding in Door County this past summer. We are by no means individuals that love to be photographed but we felt extremely comfortable shooting with Kelsy & Butch. They are down to earth and put us both at ease throughout the entire process. We just received a very comprehensive and stunning collection of photographs from our wedding day. We couldn't be more pleased! They captured so many special moments from the day that we will look back on for years to come. We wanted our photos to be elegant and timeless and they completely delivered. We loved the fact that they had shot many weddings in Door County, WI in the past. They helped find beautiful outdoor backdrops for our photos. If you are looking to make an investment in beautiful, timeless photography for your wedding I wouldn't hesitate to book them! Thank you, Kelsy & Butch! -

These are your wedding photographers! Look no further!
Kelsy and Butch. Where to even begin. They were such a bright light during our special day. I don’t think I’ve met a duo that is so kind, amazingly positive, and yet totally professional. They make you feel so comfortable I literally forgot they were taking photos. Our bridal party and families could not stop talking about how awesome they were - they truly added so much to our day. This expense is TOTALLY worth it for the quality of the photos. They captured such genuine moments and really took into consideration the style of photography I wanted, which was amazing. These are your people!!-

HIGHLY RECOMMEND- if you like having fun and getting great pictures
We got married in September 2021 and this amazing duo added so much fun to our day! We are both super awkward and do not like being in front of the camera and they made everything feel so natural and fun!! We don't have our pictures yet but we're so excited to see them as even the pictures they took on their phones and posted to Instagram were amazing! We also had a decent sized group for the brides extended family and everyone was asking for family pictures; Butch was so flexible and kind making sure that all the moments were captured. We cannot be more happy that they were a part of our day both as photographers who brought out the best in us for pictures but also as a wonderful couple who filled our day with many laughs and smiles with their great senses of humor, love, and excitement to be a part of our day. -

We love Kelsy and Butch!
Butch and Kelsy are fantastic at what they do!
We relocated our wedding to Las Vegas after our original 2020 wedding was cancelled. They were happy to come to Vegas with us in 2021 to photograph our new wedding.
What they excel in, besides taking beautiful photos, is making everyone feel comfortable and excited. They are fun, funny, and energetic. It helps keep everyone happy and light. Weddings can be stressful, especially for a Bride. But I felt nothing but relaxed as they took all of the pre ceremony shots.
They ask you ahead of time what is important to you and what style of photography you want. Then they scout your location to find the perfect spots to capture your day.
They also make you feel like models and tell you you are really pretty, so who doesn't love that?!
If you want a stellar photography duo, look no further!-

Wonderful duo!
Kelsy and Butch were so fun to work with from the first email to when we received our photos (which were delivered less than 1 month after the wedding)!!! We had such a wonderful wedding day and we are thoroughly enjoying reliving it through our photos. Kelsy and Butch had such a great, positive energy and everyone commented how lovely they were to work with. I would highly recommend them! -

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. -

Ah, The McCartneys! I was so excited to randomly stumble upon their blog when I was photographer-hunting and even more excited when they were available for our day. I'm a photography nerd so the photo aspect of our wedding was really important to me, and the fact that the McCartneys do a mix of film and digital was so attractive to me (film is not dead and it's so much better than digital, trust me). I emailed them like a thousand times with questions/updates - planning a wedding long-distance will do this to you - and they were endlessly patient, friendly and even pretended to enjoy my myriad messages. We got our photos super quick after the wedding and they were INCREDIBLE. They're super easy to work with and are more like friends that vendors. Hire them. Now! -

Easily one of the best decisions we made concerning our big day, the McCartneys are the whole package! To start, Butch and Kelsy are an amazing, two photographer team. The day of the wedding goes by too fast, so having an extra camera on hand made sure that we were able to capture all of our special moments. If that isn't enough, the photo quality is exquisite! The McCartneys are different than most photographers in that they shoot traditional film. It doesn't sound like a big deal, but the quality of the film shots is superior (in our opinion), adding that last missing element from comparable photos we have seen. The cherry on top of our experience is the personal connection that we made with our photographers. From our consults, to a dinner meeting here and there, and all of the way through the wedding, Butch and Kelsy are amazing to work with. Their light-hearted attitude, paired with an amazing work ethic, truly sets this pair apart from other photographers. We could not have envisioned a better experience with better people and would highly recommend the McCartneys to anyone who asks! -

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! -

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. -

I truly could go on forever about all of the things I loved about working with the McCartneys! First, I just love THEM in general! They are so kind, fun and warm. They made us feel so comfortable from the very first interaction and went above and beyond what I expected. Your photographers will be with you so much of your wedding day so it is important that you feel comfortable with them and I loved spending my day with Kelsy and Butch! Also, their work is incredible. Our engagement and wedding photos are perfect. I loved that they let us just be us--no awkward posing or forced expressions. Everyone says how beautiful all of our photos are. Our wedding day was cold, windy, rainy and muddy and they took it all in stride and still managed to get all of the photos we wanted.
I honestly think hiring the McCartneys was one the best decisions that we made during our planning. We have hundreds of beautiful photos, great memories and two new friends. I can't recommend them enough! -

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 -

If you are looking for wedding photographers who will make your day so special and make you wish you could invite them as guests to your wedding as well... look no further. I had randomly stumbled upon the McCartney's facebook page long before I was even dating my now husband and since then had loved their photography. When I did get engaged and we started looking at photographers obviously my first choice was Butch and Kelsy, but little did I know how perfect they really are. Kelsy and Butch are phenomenal photographers that photograph with love, integrity, and pure passion each and everyday. From minute one you will feel so special and you will feel like you are discussing your wedding with great friends, not your wedding vendor. They will help you with your day of timeline, give advice on what will make great photographs and will capture so much more on your big day. Many of my wedding guests commented on how sweet Kelsy and Butch were, but also how it seemed that they were everywhere capturing every moment possible. I can say with confidence that we have found our photographers for life and look forward to family, anniversary and baby photo sessions for our family in the future! -

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 were incredible to work with. My husband and I could not be happier with our choice to work with them for our wedding. Even though we live in Seattle and were getting married in Wisconsin, we found them to be extremely responsive and easy to work with leading up to both our engagement session and the big day. They were very willing to be flexible and accommodate our every wish. They were helpful in planning out the timeline for our wedding, and our entire wedding party enjoyed working with them. Kelsy and Butch were professional, passionate about their work, and of course they take absolutely beautiful photos!! We can't thank them enough for all that they did and all the wonderful memories they captured for us. We highly recommend them to others!

Where do I begin? I cannot say enough about the McCartneys and their photography. It. Is. Amazing. Breathtaking. Beautiful.
It was such a whirlwind day, and I didn't fully realize just how absolutely amazing and full of love it was, until I looked at the pictures from the McCartneys. They captured the moments that mattered, the little moments, the big moments, and those in between. They made me feel comfortable, they made me feel pretty, and they made the entire day into something special.
I received so many compliments about them - their professionalism , their kindness, their flexibility, their ability to put up with crazy groomsmen ;), and their overall photography skills.
I would recommend the McCartneys in a heartbeat. I cannot be more grateful for the way they captured my day. Priceless, in every single way.

This AWESOME husband and wife team is beyond professional (and crazy talented), yet will treat you like old friends! The energy, passion and genuine care that Kelsy & Butch have for each couple (and for each other) will immediately make you feel comfortable. Kelsy & Butch capture such amazing, timeless images that bring back those emotions surrounding your wedding day and remind you of those incredible moments experienced with close family and friends! Anyone would be lucky to have The McCartneys as wedding photographers :) -

Kelsy and Butch were such a huge part of our wedding day, as we had planned from the start. Photography was a very big piece of our wedding budget and our best investment. We both knew that the photos would be beautiful, timeless and we would treasure them for a lifetime, but honestly we are more than elated with our wedding photos and they are MORE than we could have ever dreamed. They captured the real emotion of the day, were there for all of our important events and even spent the end of the night dancing with us!
They are such genuine people, who make it a point to connect with the bride and groom and get to know those closest to you as well. They truly love what they do and are professional yet so personable to work with. My husband and I felt so special on our day and they truly helped the day go by even more beautifully that it already was. Simply amazing work that the McCartney's Photography do and we are so blessed to have been a part of their story as they are now such an important part of ours! -

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. -

Butch and Kelsy are absolutely incredible in every sense of the word. They are professional yet fun, caring, and flexible. Our original wedding plans changed and Butch and Kelsy were incredibly willing to work with us through the changes and even worked out a way to photograph both of our wedding celebrations. They are constantly communicating with their couples, trying to get a feeling for what that bride and groom have in mind for their day and what they want people to remember and feel when they look back at their day. The photographs that the McCartneys take truly make you FEEL. I don't know how they do it but when you look at their photos you can just tell what the feelings, emotions, and style was on that couple's wedding day. These two are amazing people and are always willing to work with their couples and make their services of value. Every day I felt like Butch and Kelsy were there to help with other aspects of the wedding, offering recommendations and suggestions for vendors or ideas. I couldn't DREAM of having another photographer and I am so happy with our choice! -

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. -

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!

The McCartneys did an outstanding job at our wedding. The photos have been beautiful, and they captured so many wonderful photos from the day. We wanted a lot of candid photos, and the McCartneys did just that. They were so easy to work with, and they helped to make the day flow so nicely. We would highly recommend them for wedding photography! -

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. -

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!!! :)

Kelsy and Butch of the McCartneys Photography are positive and energetic. We are so happy they photographed our engagement session and our wedding. They captured our day beautifully! They created our photo album to perfectly tell the story of our wedding day and the final product exceeded our expectations. The McCartneys go above and beyond to provide heartfelt and personalized photography services! -

We could not be happier that we chose Kelsy and Butch to photograph our wedding. Not only are they super talented in their work - they are also so fun to be around! They made us, our family and bridal party very comfortable in front of the camera and as a result, we have some amazing images that will last a lifetime.
We are also very impressed with the excellent customer service Kelsy and Butch delivered. They were quick to respond to email and our photos were delivered in the cutest packages. Kelsy and Butch were somehow able to make it seem like we were the only couple they were working with. -

Looking through our pictures and albums, it's as if we are reliving the day! Priceless, quality pictures from The McCartneys! -

Kelsy and Butch are SO amazing and wonderful! They did an incredible job for our wedding and also our engagement session. They are so easy going and easy to work with. (I remember revising the wedding day timeline with them probably 7 times and they were more than happy to make it perfect for us) After looking at other wedding photographers, there really is no comparison-- the McCartney's photos are really that great! :) Their photos are so much more natural and less posed and stiff-looking. We do know that we spent a decent amount of money, but we truly believe that it was completely worth it and the photos are something you will have forever. We think its also important to realize you are getting two photographers and not a photographer with a back-up shooter. Kelsy and Butch both have an incredible eye for detail and are SO good at what they do! We are very happy we were able to work with them and would definitely recommend them to friends and family. -

Hi, I just want to let you know some of the many reasons why we decided to go with The McCartneys Photography (aka Butch and Kelsy).
Let's start here~When my Husband and I started planning our wedding in July of 2012, we started out with a budget and a priorities list (of about 15 priorities). When it came down to it the photography came in the top 5 in both lists. If you are putting any time and effort into your wedding it's really kind silly to not go with a photographer that's going to capture all of you details, effort, and special moments (and to have it look as nice as you prepared it to be)!
Some more amazing things that we loved about Butch and Kelsy are: They dressed super professional and looked like they were going to a wedding, Butch went with guys prior and Kelsy was with the girls before the ceremony, and of course their pictures look like they are straight out of a magazine/fairy tale.
If you want two professional/understanding/trendy/great people with great ideas~you are simply missing out on what could make a huge difference on such an important day/milestone in your life! :)
Thanks and I hope you enjoyed my review :) -

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! :) -

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.:) -

As two busy young professionals, my husband and I hoped that we would evade the stress of wedding planning. We can honestly say that Kelsy and Butch provided us with the ease of mind we were searching for! They made the whole process incredibly easy through constant communication and answering any questions that we had. Combined with their genuine efforts to get to know us and their astounding attention to detail, we were reassured that we had made the absolute best choice in asking them to document our special day. We also felt that we were in good hands with a couple who clearly have a deeply caring and loving relationship themselves!
Looking at the final products that Kelsy and Butch were able to capture on our day, has enabled us to relive all the wonderful and special emotions. Although the day of wedding was a whirlwind of events, our photos definitely capture the best memories and moments which we will cherish for a lifetime.
We highly recommend The McCartneys to anyone seeking professional, enthusiastic, and passionate photographers! We cannot thank them for their work! -

Kelsy and Butch are truly amazing! Instantly, they make you feel as though you have been friends for years. Their work is timeless and they do it effortlessly. They will do WHATEVER they can to accomodate your needs, and figure out needs you didn't even know you had!! The McCartney's are the most genuine, down-to-earth people, and truly want nothing but the best for you. They don't know how to take a bad picture, so you definitely will not be disappointed!! -

A family friend highly recommended that we take a peek at the The McCartney’s Photography. Wow, were we in awe! After a few emails/phone conversations we felt an instant connection with them and their photography style. Kelsy and Butch are such an authentic duo and were genuinely excited for us and the details we were planning to incorporate into our wedding day.
Before we could commit, like most couples, we had a lovely little budget to abide by so we gladly re-arranged ideas, costs and put photography as a top priority. After all, you get ONE day..ONE chance for your Photographer to capture YOUR day. Why wouldn’t you want to feel 100% confident in the Photographer you hire?
The McCartney’s were wonderful at walking us through the start of our engagement session and after much laughter, we were completely at ease at being photographed. The images from our e-session captured us wonderfully and left us smiling from ear to ear.
Our wedding day arrived and Kelsy and Butch couldn’t have been a better fit with our family and friends. They jumped right in and took control of what they needed to accomplish. They share such a unique perspective and true talent for this art and it shows; our wedding day images are absolutely breath taking! Looking through our images brings us back to our day (that flew by entirely way too fast) and we are able to enjoy the emotions all over again. Every.single.time!
We are forever grateful that we put photography as a top priority. We feel blessed and honored to have had The McCartneys along during this memorable time in our lives! -

Kelsy and Butch are simply awesome! From the first time we met them during our engagement photo session to our cememony and reception, they made us feel so comfortable around them and in front of the cameras.
Our pictures turned out better than we ever hoped, and they captured all the moments that we will never forget. Kelsy and Butch took the time to make us feel really special, and we felt like they really cared about our wedding day and what was important to us. Several members of our wedding party agreed that Kelsy and Butch were the easiest photographers they had ever worked with. They also do a great job in the presentation and packaging of photo prints ordered.
I can't say enough good things about Kelsy and Butch and hope to be able to work with them again sometime in the future for family portraits!

Kelsy and Butch are a dream photography duo! It is clear that they truly love what they do and love working with each other. They always kept us at ease and the awkward posed moments never seemed to happen. Perhaps most importantly, the photos turned out beautiful and were a perfect representation of our special day. -

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! -

Butch and Kelsy are a dynamic duo. First, they were upfront about their photography style, their prices, and expectations for services provided. They even worked with us to tailor a pre-set package to better fit our needs. Once we officially had a contract signed with them, they continued to be accessible and were more than happy to just touch base from time to time and to answer my frenzied bride questions.
Our engagement session was fabulously fun and relaxed, and we were proud to use those pictures for our wedding guest book and save-the-dates (which the McCartneys designed). When the actual wedding day came, Butch and Kelsy needed no direction, but were more than willing to do what they could to give us what we were looking for in our pictures. They were an integral part of our day, from start to finish, but they worked inconspicuously when appropriate.
Shortly after we returned from our honeymoon, they were in contact with us to give us an idea of when our photos would be ready. They put together a blog with a subset of our pictures that we really enjoyed showing off to our friends, and then gave us online access to our complete gallery. We were able to share that access with family and friends so that our guests could order pictures, too.
It was incredibly difficult to choose our favorite photos in the gallery - each one seemed to capture a glance, a special moment, a strong emotion. We were able to re-live our wedding day over and over as we poured through our pictures. Butch and Kelsy also put together a little video/slideshow of some of the day's highlights, which was fun to share with those we invited to the wedding but were unable to make it. Okay, I'll admit it was fun to watch on my own, too (I may have shed a few tears . . . ).
In the end, we received a few printed portraits, all the digital negatives, and a priceless coffee table book that the McCartneys constructed from the day's images. We we thrilled to display both the book and the portraits in our home. We are sure to be giving framed McCartney photos to parents, grandparents and Godparents this Christmas!
Thanks Kelsy and Butch for your fabulous, truly priceless work, and for being so easily accessible, so professional, so flexible, and so fun! When we start adding babies and puppies to the family, we'll be in touch! : ) -

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. -

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!!! -

The photo books is just an added bonus to the personal touch they add to your wedding day!!! -

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. -

What a team! Kelsy and Butch absolutely love (and are fantastic at) what they do! They were dedicated to getting to know us and capturing every detail of our wedding story. I found the McCartney’s when looking for wedding photographers in the Wausau area; they caught our attention with their photojournalistic approach to weddings, attention to detail, and the way they could capture the energy and emotion of the moment. I also noticed they were friends with another photographer friend of mine. When I asked him what he thought of their work, he told me, “If they are available BOOK THEM…you won’t be disappointed”. And he was right!
We met Kelsy and Butch in downtown Wausau for our engagement session. We were a bit nervous to be in front of the camera, but they put us at ease right away. They were extremely professional and captured all the magic moments of our wedding day, from getting ready, to our ceremony, the reception, and all the little details that made our day special. We are so happy with the quality of our prints and the wedding coffee table album that tells the perfect story of our day.
Regardless of whom you choose as your photographer I think it's critical that you meet with them a couple of days before your wedding to highlight the shots that you don't want them to miss. Kelsy and Butch are VERY good at what they do but they can't read your mind.
We also had asked for a timeline recommendation from the McCartney's and then made some modifications (mostly eliminating some of the portrait time) to ensure that our guests weren't waiting too long between ceremony and reception. My suggestion to future brides is your guests can wait, take all the portrait time you and your new husband want...it's your day and you don't want to be rushed. I loved our venue and wish we had spent more portrait time around the site and in the park in front of the venue.
Overall, we loved working with the McCartney’s! The photographers were definitely the most important part of our wedding and we feel our money was well spent on the McCartney’s exceptional style. -

We met Kelsey at a bridal expo and were immediately impressed with the unique pictures they had on display as well as her personality. We setup a meeting to meet Kelsey and her husband Butch who are both photographers. We felt we had a great meeting and were very happy with the way they present their business and options to the customer. They are professional, confident and know what works. That said, they are great listeners and are very open to ideas. They took pictures of our whole wedding day. From us getting ready (which was great to have both Butch and Kelsey taking pictures of each of us before we saw each other), through the ceremony, dinner and dance. They are so respectful and made us feel at ease. Because we were so comfortable with their ability to capture and create great moments, we asked them to pull us aside at any time if they felt it was a great photo opportunity. We were not disappointed. The pictures were amazing. Their great chemistry together shows while they are shooting and comes through when you see the photographs. Of all the decisions we had to make about our wedding day, the decision to use The McCartneys was the best choice we made. They are friendly, kind, compassionate and easy to work with. It has been great to see the McCartneys continue to be more successful including features in major wedding magazines. This is not a hobby for them. They are a husband and wife duo who has photography as a full time profession. Their livelihood depends on their success and they have shown they have the talent to outshine all the others. -

The McCartney's were great to work with and gave us the most artistic wedding and engagement photos we've ever seen. Their style is incredibly unique and unparalleled. We searched long and hard to find a good photographer for our wedding and the McCartney's work blew all other competitors out of the water. They were so much fun to work with that we plan on hiring them again for future events! -

Jeff and I have so many wonderful things to say about Photography by McCartney that we don’t know where to start! Butch and Kelsy are a fun, dynamic, professional photography duo. They shot our wedding in November of 2009 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin and it would be impossible to have gotten better pictures to immortalize our special day!
Butch and Kelsy were with us as we got ready in the morning until late into the reception, capturing an amazing amount of photos chronicling the entire day. The angles used, poses staged and portraits shot were incredibly creative; these two have an astonishing talent for creating visually-stunning images and effectively utilizing any and every space available to them. Personally they are just as fun as the images they create—they aren’t stuffy or strict, and melt in well with a bridal party and reception crowd to snap wonderful in-the-moment action shots!
Our package included a hardcopy book featuring some of the photos taken throughout the day; everyone that has seen this book is taken aback by the quality of the images! Pictures were taken at a few Milwaukee landmarks such as the Mitchell Park Domes and Calatrava expansion of the Milwaukee Art Museum—people think they are looking at a bridal magazine and not a collection of our photos!
Butch and Kelsy are fabulous photographers; the service is professional, the product absolutely AMAZING, and the price competitive. You’d be hard-pressed to find a better value for the quality of service and product provided by Photography by McCartney.

Butch and Kelsey were extremely energetic, easy to work with and friendly! They immediately fit in as part of the family during our wedding and captured some beautiful pictures of the day! Very professional and high quality photos. Would recommend them to anyone! -

Photography was my #1 wedding priority and it took a little while to find what I was looking for. After the recommendation of a friend and co-worker, I visited the McCartney's website and was instantly blown away by their beautiful work. Every wedding and engagement session on their blog was equally stunning and the quality and artistry was nothing like I've ever seen. After a very excited Skype date, my fiance and I could not be more ready to book with them - which ended up being the best decision we made for our entire wedding.
From helping us decide which collection was right for us, to coordinating our wedding timeline and of course, our wedding day, Butch and Kelsy could not have been more responsive, helpful, and professional. They were more than photographers, they truly helped shape our day in more ways than one and if that's not enough, they are a complete joy to be around. They are fun, worked great with our family, bridal party, and other vendors and are so happy and passionate that you can't help but feel wonderful when you're with them.
We were blown away by the quality of our engagement blog and images, but our wedding photos were truly greater than we could have expected. Their ability to capture the many emotions, the tiniest detail, and a special moment is pure artistry. Our prints are beautiful and something we will treasure for years. We could not be more pleased with our photos and overall experience and also could not recommend Butch and Kelsy more. THANK YOU for capturing our wedding day so beautifully and for helping to preserve these precious memories.
Love, Nick and Amanda Trentadue

After my first brief conversation with Kelsy McCartney, I was convinced my hubby and I needed them for our wedding photography. Kelsy and Butch were incredibly helpful, cheery, and accommodating from that first phone call. Hiring the McCartneys meant exceeding our initial budget for photography, but we are so thankful we made photography a priority! We cared more about having incredible photographers capture the essence of our wedding than we did about anything else that we knew wouldn't last past that day. As a result, we have hundreds of beautiful images that make us feel giddy inside every time we look at them because they take us right back to the amazing feelings present on that magical day!
I think the McCartneys would be an especially wonderful choice for a couple who's not exceedingly comfortable in front of a camera. It's impossible not to feel relaxed and joyful around those two-- their love and happiness for each other and their job is absolutely contagious.
In retrospect, the only thing I was a bit heartbroken about is that I don't have a photo of just my two sisters and me, who were my maids of honor. I figured that would be an obvious shot to get before the ceremony, but I don't think anyone should assume their photographers will get every shot they hoped for. If I got to do it over again, I would have been more specific about photos like that. Overall, though, as is evidenced by my ratings, we were absolutely thrilled with the McCartneys. If you haven't booked them yet, do it soon! :) I've recommended them to many, many friends and will continue to do so. Thanks again, Butch and Kelsy! :) -

I looked around for awhile before I came upon McCartney photography. I was astounded by their raw talent and how little they charged compared to the "big guys". They were also very personable to everyone in the wedding party and seemed to truly be enjoying themselves and their work. They far exceeded my expectations for photography at our wedding. I would recommend them to absolutely anyone! -

LOVE, love, love their work. They are so great to work with, make you feel SO comfortable. My only regret is that I didn't have more time between the ceremony and the reception for pictures and that I didn't have more time with B&K! -

Kelsy and Butch made us feel really comfortable in front of the camera and also helped calmed the nerves on our big day. Pictures are one of the only tangible things that remain from the wedding so it's important to get great shots that capture the day. They did a great job of putting our wedding story together and we will always be able to look back on that. -

Kelsy and Butch were very fun to work with. They bring a great attitude and excitement that resonates with everyone involved in the process. Our entire wedding party had a great time and we were very happy with the pictures. We would highly recommend The McCartneys Photography to anyone. -
