Elise & Trev’s Dreamy Brix on the Fox Wedding

Elise and Trev are two of the warmest, kindest and most loving people we have had the honor of photographing. Being a part of their wedding truly felt like a dream – after first meeting Elise at her sister’s gorgeous Glen Club wedding in 2023 we were beyond excited to reconnect with this amazing family and celebrate Elise and Trev’s wedding this Fall at The Brix on The Fox.
Elise and Trev first met as undergrads at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. While they both majored in psychology and lived just 6 floors apart their Freshman year, they did not meet until they both worked as medical scribes at UW Health. Elise quickly fell for Trev’s sense of humor and his enthusiasm for sports and statistics. Trev was won over by Elise’s bubbly personality, laughter, and competitive side. Trev made the first move and slid into Elise's Facebook messages that Fall where he invited her to watch the Bears game with him. That first date turned in to a 9-hour marathon, the first of many memorable days between these two.
Elise and Trev have spent the past 6 years writing an epic love story that includes surviving a 4-month quarantine at the McCune's house, graduating from medical and PA school, building new friendships, watching/attending as many sporting events as possible, and traveling both near and far. The best of their travels took them to the beautiful country of Iceland where they spent 16 days traveling around the Ring Road, car-camping in a Subaru. It was on this ring road that Trev knelt down on one knee, underneath the mist of the Gljufrafoss waterfall and proposed to Elise. She had the biggest smile on her face and screamed yes!
I was beyond excited when Elise reached out to tell me she was engaged to Trev and wanted to use Something Blue to capture all of their wedding memories. I had the best time getting to know these two at their engagement session in Lincoln Park last Fall. When the time came for Elise and Trev’s wedding at The Brix we were all really excited, it was a gorgeous early Fall day and every detail came together so beautifully. Christy loved snapping some fun shots of the bridesmaids in their matching jumpsuits with Elise while I took pictures of all of Elise’s pretty details, I could hear the girls’ laughter all the way down the hall at the hotel. Once Elise was dressed she did the sweetest reveal with her bridesmaids, our friend Grace is expecting and was especially emotional seeing her gorgeous sister as a bride!
From the hotel we made our way to The Brix where we met up with Trev. He was nervous but looked so handsome in his light suit, those nerves melted away the moment he saw his beautiful bride. After Elise and Trev’s first look we had a lot of fun photographing their wonderful wedding party before taking some romantic pictures of Elise and Trev together before their ceremony. Trev shed a few tears as he watched Elise walk down the aisle, it was all so sweet and just perfect. We found the prettiest golden light just before sunset and then settled in for a delicious dinner and rollicking celebration during their reception. This was truly the most perfect day and we were so grateful to be a part of it!!
Congratulations, Elise and Trev, we love you and wish you a lifetime of happiness together!

Cassidy & Brandon’s Magical Brix on the Fox Wedding
Cassidy and Brandon first met each other at a bar – she was working and they immediately clicked. Their connection was so powerful that their relationship quickly became serious – within four months they had moved in together, and after nine months they were engaged. . .
Cassidy and Brandon first met each other at a bar – she was working and they immediately clicked. Their connection was so powerful that their relationship quickly became serious – within four months they had moved in together, and after nine months they were engaged. Cassidy and Brandon’s strong connection was on full display on their wedding day at the Brix on the Fox.
As Cassidy was getting ready (along with her adorable dog) Brandon was working out the details before their ceremony. The excitement was building as guests arrived and we all prepared for Cassidy to walk down the aisle with her Dad. She looked absolutely gorgeous, and once Brandon saw his bride he didn’t take his eyes off of her for the rest of the night.
The weather was threatening so we decided to take wedding party and family photos inside. Both Cassidy and Brandon are twins, it was fun to see all of the twins at their wedding! During cocktail hour the sun finally peeked out even though it was still raining – Conrad and I knew to quickly get Cassidy and Brandon outside for photos before their reception started. When we crossed the street and moved toward the river we were treated to a stunning double rainbow! The light was gorgeous and made for the most perfect moment for the newlyweds!
Congratulations, Cassidy and Brandon, we love you and wish you a lifetime of happiness together!

This summer we celebrated weddings in a whole new way. The pandemic shook up our routine of big celebrations and led us to pause and see weddings differently. Last summer Katie and Matt were forced to put their big wedding celebration on hold and instead exchanged their vows at their church in front of only their families. Conrad was on hand to photograph the intimate celebration (and to meet their puppy Freedom after the ceremony!)
Conrad and I were both so happy to be welcomed back this summer to document Katie and Matt’s big party. Ashley came along to help me shoot photos while Conrad captured video throughout the day. We convened at Brix on the Fox and honestly had the best time with Katie and Matt’s friends and family. The day was so relaxed and everyone was so eager to celebrate with this awesome couple! And while we didn’t get to hang with Freedom this summer we were happy to see that he was at least well-represented on Matt’s socks and koozie. It was the perfect day filled with beautiful details and joyful moments.
Congratulations, Katie and Matt, we love you and wish you a lifetime of happiness together!
