Phil Koehler Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (7 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,300
  • Serves Amherst, WI

Hi! Phil Koehler, here. I am an out-going introvert, who lives to provide a remarkable photography experience to my clients. When I'm not behind a camera, you can find me either treasure hunting at a local thrift shop or estate sale, hiking in the woods, or paddling on the Wisconsin River. I fell in love with Wedding Photography after shooting a friend's wedding back in 2017. Being able to capture the important moments for my clients, is an honor and joy that I truly cherish.

“If you are in search of a wedding/engagement photographer, look no further! Phil and his wife were such a pleasure and joy to work with. Something we especially enjoyed about Phil Photography is that they take the time to honestly get to know you and your style. So, the pictures they take not only capture your big day or engagement celebration, but also you, your character! They are very professional and very prompt and clear with communication. Definitely didn't have to worry about anything regarding the photography as we knew they had it covered and would show up exactly when and where they needed to be (which is such a relief when you have ten million other things to worry about). Actually taking the pictures was a blast as Phil and his wife are super personable, and their work was incredible. Our engagement and wedding pictures exceeded our expectations and are memories we will treasure forever! We already have them booked for our vow renewal!”

Bringing nostalgia to your present so you can look at your images over and over again and always feel what it felt like. We're your head-over-heels husband & wife photography (and micro wedding officiant!) duo; the photographers for non-photo people who want their moments captured authentically, candidly, and real. In-depth timeline-planning so you can have a carefree, joyful celebration. Let's talk about the investment in your legacy!

“Olivia and Brian are THE BEST. I am not someone who likes their photo taken and not only did they make it painless, they made it fun. They created the best environment and vibe for our elopement, and were such huge supports leading up to it. My husband was on active duty during the planning and OB were the perfect sounding boards and expert advisors. They also put us at ease with including our rescue dogs, as they had ample experience with them and were more than happy to include them as much as possible. Brian officiated our ceremony as well and the interview he did with us to customize it to exactly US made it magical. OB will be taking every photo-op for us from now on. I cannot recommend them enough, photographers for awkward people 10/10.”

From our very first interaction, Anne’s responses were timely, thorough and she provided a sense of calm to all of our questions.On the day of the wedding, she seamlessly blended into the background when needed and she was able to direct people when needed as well!

Planning an elopement can feel overwhelming, but that’s where I come in. I’m here to help you create a day that feels natural, easy, and full of meaning. Whether you dream of exchanging vows surrounded by the WI northwoods, on a lakeside cliff, or somewhere even more remote, I’ll guide you every step of the way, from finding the perfect spot to making sure your day goes off without a hitch. My goal is to take the stress out of planning so you can focus on what matters most: your connection and the adventure of a lifetime.

“Abby is truly something special! We’re so grateful we had the opportunity to elope with her — not only as our photographer but also as our officiant (such an amazing bonus that she’s licensed!). There were no expectations or over-the-top plans; we wanted something simple, and she made our simple day feel absolutely perfect through the photos she captured. From start to finish, Abby was incredible to communicate with. She offered thoughtful advice, was always quick to respond, and went above and beyond to make sure everything felt easy and stress-free. She even provides her clients with a detailed elopement guide that covers every possible aspect of the process — things you wouldn’t even think to consider but end up being so helpful. It’s such a thoughtful resource that shows just how much she truly cares about her couples. Her calm, easygoing energy made everything feel effortless, and the photos turned out so natural, emotional, and genuine. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to capture (and officiate!) our day.”

Beyond Imagination Photography

  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Amherst, WI

We are lifestyle photographers. What does this mean? Well, we photograph our subjects the way they truly are in their own life settings. Our goal is to make every session unique, fun and ever lasting. We try not to do a lot of posed photographs, they are all natural. we also use more of a softer tone in our photographs. The images are crisp clear but soft to allow the photographs to tell your story. In three words I would say my style is soft, natural and honest.

“Jodi and Martina were amazing through the entire process! They were quick to respond to any questions I had, no matter how small, and were open and transparent through the whole process. On our day, they were incredibly organized and made sure we got every family picture needed, plus a couple more that we forgot about. Afterwards, our pictures were back to us very quickly with the flash drive of images so we can have them forever! Their work was incredible and I can’t recommend them enough!!”

Hi there- I'm Jessie. A midwest woman on a mission to celebrate and document couples from all over the country as they say “I do” in some of the most incredible nooks, crannies, peaks, valleys, and lakes this world has to offer. I fell head over hiking boots for elopements while traveling with my hubby and our baby in our Airstream. While on our own adventure, we kept stumbling upon wild weddings—deep in the forests, teetering at the tallest points, and every last jaw-dropping location you can imagine. Not just the adventure—but the entire experience of creating a space couples felt seen, heard, valued, loved, and celebrated in.

“My husband and I exclusively use Jessie as our photographer for all our biggest milestones. Her talent shines in her photographs. I can’t recommend her enough for her talent, personality and professionalism. We are using her for our maternity photos and she never fails to go above and beyond to capture our vision so I am beyond excited!”

“We can't recommend OLAS enough! Our photographer, Victoria, was amazing—super bubbly and made us feel comfortable right away during both our engagement and wedding shoots. She was so fun to work with while remaining highly professional and knowledgeable. The variety in our photos was incredible, but some of my favorites were the natural ones that perfectly captured our personalities. The rest of the OLAS team was also fantastic, helping us develop a detailed timeline and sharing portfolios of potential photographers to choose from.

“My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.”

He is highly detailed oriented which is a must for somebody like me who really notices all the little details. He went above and beyond by traveling to our engagement shooting location all the way in Madison, WI! When it came to shooting the big day, Erik orchestrated everything perfectly including calming me down during a stressful moment, making us all laugh, and capturing all the "good angles". From the first few photos I received, his work made me feel absolutely beautiful.

“Bailey was amazing to work with. She is prompt and professional. She is willing to try new ideas and poses as well as pose you in ways I never would have thought of. The turnaround on her work was faster than anyone else I’ve worked with before. She helped me with printing my images. I would 1000% book her again and again.”

“The booking process was so seamlessly easy. Kia was so friendly and attentive to every need we had. On the day of everything was orderly, we asked her to stay a bit longer last minute and she happily agreed. On top of it all we got our gallery 3 days after our wedding! Would absolutely be requesting her services again!”

Eric Turner Photography

  • Serves Amherst, WI

Hey there! I'm Eric, an outdoor-loving, laid-back wedding photographer based in the Midwest who lives for capturing those real, unfiltered moments that make each love story unique. When I'm not behind the camera, you'll probably find me hiking trails or discovering new local breweries. My approach blends documentary-style storytelling with a touch of editorial flair—meaning I'll capture both those candid laughs during toasts and those naturally romantic moments during golden hour. The best photos happen when couples feel completely at ease and free to be themselves.

Awarded Best of Zola
“Having Eric as a photographer is like hanging out with an old friend. He put this camera-shy couple at ease immediately, made us laugh, and always had great suggestions for posing to help get the best results possible. He came prepared with ideas for shots and scenes, and his videography was so unobtrusive we almost didn’t remember it was happening! He is quick to respond to questions, has an amazing eye for color and composition, and is generally just a really positive presence on a day that can otherwise be pretty stressful. Don’t sleep on Eric — you’ll be so glad you hired him!”
