Oh my goodness, where to even start. As a bride trying to plan a wedding in Wisconsin while living in Montana, you could imagine there were some stressors. Kurt was one of the few ...

photographers I found that was available and willing to travel to a little town very northern Wisconsin to come capture our special day. Kurt made both my husband and I feel so secure with our choice. He made sure we knew exactly what we were getting, the options for more if need be, helped me formulate a timeline not just for pictures but truly for the whole thing (bless you again, Kurt), and made sure we knew we could always reach out for whatever questions we may have. Come the day of our wedding, I had just arrived to the venue and within 10 minutes I had about 25 questions being asked, trying to avoid my husband from seeing me, making sure finishing details are being finished AND both our DJ and Kurt showing up at the same time. I was frazzled and didn't know where to start. Kurt gave me a kind smile and told me a bride shouldn't be stressed or worrying on her wedding day and graciously took on tasks to capture some pictures while I figure things out before our first scheduled pictures. (Did that make sense?) Kurt was not only personable, he was professional, he made us all laugh and feel at ease. As someone who is extremely awkward in front of a camera, he talked us through poses and really made us feel like he was a lifetime friend just helping us capture our most special day. From making sure my dress was always draped out for full display, to helping me bustle my dress on the dancefloor, to keeping me on track and schedule with our timeline, and always wanting the best for not only my husband and I but for everyone there, we could not have been more happy with choosing Kurt to capture our wedding day. We just passed our 1 year anniversary and the amount of times I have gone back to look at our incredible pictures to relive the day is probably more than I am wanting to admit. I would recommend Kurt over and over again and if you are wondering if you should book with him, this is your sign! Do it!! You will not regret working with this kind, talented, and gracious soul. Thank you again, Kurt! You are so appreciated.

There are no words to describe how much we love and appreciate Kurt. My husband and I both agree that our day wouldn’t have been what it was without him for so many reasons! He was...

the best hype guy, wrangled our people when needed, always had us laughing, made sure we were always happy, reminded us to take all of our little moments in, worked tirelessly to make sure our day was what we wanted it to be and captured our favorite day so beautifully. He was exactly what you would want for your big day and we can’t thank him enough!

Kurt is an absolutely lovely human being!! We hired him for our engagement session and he was professional and kind. My fiancée and I are not very touchy in front of other people, ...

so we were worried about feeling awkward or weird during the session, and Kurt made us feel right at home! I had only communicated with him via phone prior to meeting him in person and from the second we met him, he made us feel very comfortable. He was very timely with his communication throughout the entire process. The photos that he captured of us perfectly described our relationship. While he gave us prompts to follow throughout the session (which were very helpful), nothing looked staged or posed. Each photo was absolutely beautiful and I love how he was able to capture us the way he did. If you are on the fence and trying to decide who to hire, stop looking now and hire Kurt!! He is well worth your time and money. I cannot recommend him enough!!

There’s not enough I could say about Kurt and the God-given passion that he has for capturing your story just right. On our wedding day, Kurt was punctual and ready to go with the ...

flow of the day. He followed our shot list and kept the vibe we were going for. Kurt loves his clients and made us feel so comfortable throughout the day. He has a great rapport with the entire wedding party and will keep you laughing throughout all the shots. I highly recommend Kurt as he was easy to work with and we are IN LOVE with our final gallery.

axing for us!! At one point he played our song for us and we were just dancing while he was snapping AWESOME pictures!! He gave us some ques and helped us a bit with some posing as neither my fiancé and I are super great at it and those photos turned out wonderful!! We are still fairly new to Wausau so Kurt suggested the location of the photos and we are THRILLED with how beautiful they look!! I love the river and having some pictures with the river in them is so fun! I can’t say enough positive things about Kurt!! Also he got the photos back to us a few days later and I was sooo excited to take a look at them! He is friendly, professional, and all around amazing at what he does! I HIGHLY recommend going with Kurt for your photos!!

I love the moments that Kurt captured. He didn’t have his own agenda, rather tried to take photos/edit photos to what we imagined and hoped for. I didn’t really know how to pose o...

r have lots of ideas - Kurt really helped with that and made us feel comfortable. I appreciated that a lot. He managed to pull off being the sole photographer which isn’t easy. He got our photos back to us within a very reasonable amount of time and really enjoyed the sneak peak photos he shared earlier. Kurt will give you great photos - recommend!

ng up to the wedding. His rates are also completely reasonable, which was a factor for us in deciding who would shoot our big day. Would wholeheartedly recommend him for you. Kurt did our engagement photos as well, and although it rained that day, the weather did not allow phase him. He was mindful of making sure we didn’t freeze in the rain and of using his time efficiently to get the shots he needed. Before our wedding, Kurt had a call with us to talk about our vision for the day and what we wanted in our photos. We found this helpful and felt that this emphasized his good communication with us. The day off, he kept us on schedule for photos. He got wonderful shots of not only us but of our guests, which we loved! He also got some beautiful couple shots that are blissful in their artistic quality; truly we will treasure them all our marriage.
