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!!
