Homeschoolin, Home birthin, and Holistic mama that loves to capture Life and Love in it's truest moments and forms. My business has been a decade in the making from falling in love with photography in high school, to now... My love for Milkweed and my time spent living in Iowa has inspired my business name. I used to live near a conservation center with fields of milkweed. My children and I spent many days enjoying this haven of beauty and were blessed to see thousands of Monarch butterflies migrate to the Milkweed. I realize how fleeting these moments are and would love to capture your story!

So easy to work with and professional! My labor went very quickly so photos were in the immediate postpartum. I love how each detail was captured so intimately to tell the story, so I can look back on those moments. She respected the environment and helped in any way to make sure I felt cared for-above and beyond being a photographer. We also did some newborn/family photos a few days later and she was very patient with my full of energy toddler, all while capturing the sweet details of our newborn. All of the photos are beautiful!! When I asked for a few edits to the gallery it was done and updated for me quickly.

Victoria recently did my hair and make-up for my elopement in Bayfield. I love that she could travel to me to alleviate the stress that morning of getting ready. I honestly didn't have a specific inspiration in mind and was teetering between half-up do versus an up-do, and the masterpiece she created was like having the best of both worlds. In addition, even though I did not provide any inspirational pictures, nor had she met me before this appointment, the details she incorporated fit me, as I often did some of the techniques to my hair. I highly recommend Victoria!!

Hi! My name is Savannah and I'm a wedding photographer located in Wisconsin (but traveling anywhere!). I believe photography is a way to return to moments otherwise passed. It's a way to freeze time, emotions, and memories. I started my business at a young age, and have loved every second of it! Through ups and downs, photography has always been my passion, and I truly believe I have the best job in the world. When I'm not taking photos or editing at my computer, you will find me hanging with my husband, binging a 90's sitcom, reading Harry Potter for the 100th time, playing with my two cats, or caring for my very many plants!

Awarded Best of Zola
I have worked with Savannah at over 10 weddings together and she is an amazing photographer to work with as a videographer. She brings the fun energy that you need to wedding day photos while still being in control and getting what needs to be done, done! She even photographed my wedding and I recommend her to all of my clients! There is no way that you would ever regret having Savannah as your photographer- She might just be the best decision you’ll make for your wedding day

Wild Elegance

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Balsam Lake, WI

Hello hello! My name is Marie and I am the owner and photographer for Wild Elegance. We are a brand for adventurers, for lovers of life, and genuine people who love those little moments between the moments in life and seek out truth over perfection. Your marriage is unique because of the relationships you have with the people you choose to celebrate with. Spending my day with you and your closest family and friends brings me such joy, and creating art out of some of the best moments of your life is something I am truly honored to be a part of for so many.

Knowing how much of a financial investment a wedding photographer was going to be, I did not take my decision lightly. I reached out to several companies and had several questions when determining who would be the right fit. And I have to say, Marie was by far the most understanding and compassionate during that process. While many photographers seemed annoyed by the (many) questions I would ask before booking, Marie was patient and very thoughtful with her responses -- she even took time to arrange a phone call with me while traveling! And during that phone call, she made sure I didn't feel rushed and that she answered all questions I had fully, it truly felt like I was talking to a friend. That was when I made the decision to book with Marie. Beyond that, when booking the session for our Engagement photos, she brought several creative and adventurous ideas to the table and had the PERFECT locations to take us to. We had a blast together. I would recommend Marie to anyone looking for a photographer who is friendly, compassionate, accommodating and just a joy to be around.

My goal is to always serve you well in all areas of your wedding or elopement! I love capturing love! It is my absolute favorite! I will go anywhere you need me to go - just let me know where and when. Let's go have some fun together!

Awarded Best of Zola
My wife and I have done shoots with Caitlin for our engagement as well as for our wedding/post-wedding. We plan to have her take my wife’s maternity photos as well! We both cannot say enough good things about Caitlin. She makes the shoots super fun and she personalizes the experience to us as the couple. She listens to the ideas we have about what kind of photos we want and she makes them come to life. She has awesome ideas about poses/settings and the photos always turn out great. Caitlin is a great editor and the finished product is unmatched! For us though, the biggest plus is that the shoots are low-stress and enjoyable. I don’t normally like having my picture taken but I’m always excited for us to have a shoot with Caitlin because I know it will be fun! I’ve also been in a wedding party for my cousin that Caitlin photographed. It was cool being able to see how hard she works and how consistent the experience is when I wasn’t the one primarily being photographed. If you choose to have Caitlin as your photographer, you’ll definitely be glad you did!

DRS MUSIC, INC 

5.0

  • Band/dj
  • Starts at $5,000
  • Serves Balsam Lake, WI

David Rothstein Music was started in 1999. David believes each couple/client deserves to get exactly what they need for their specific event. DRM has a wide variety of ensembles and song choices to make every event meet and exceed your expectations!

We always ranked the music as the number one priority for our wedding, and we’re so glad we entrusted David Rothstein Band to bring our party to life. Planning a wedding during Covid had many challenges, including not being able to see the band live, but thankfully, David has so many live videos available where we can see the entertainment his band delivers day in and day out. Those videos, along with David’s passion for his work, made us confident to chose his team to make our day special. For our wedding, we had a classical duo during the ceremony, a pianist during cocktail hour, a jazz trio during dinner, and an incomparable 10 piece orchestra to dance the night away. From the first note to the final encore, we were BLOWN AWAY with the talent and energy that the band brought. We had a few special requests for the night - from a unique arrangement for our ceremony processional to a mashup of New York songs during the reception - and David’s team was beyond accommodating. We had dancing for 3 hours straight and not once did anyone leave the floor - the band was able to feel the energy in the room and chose the right song for the moment. I stumbled across the ingoing setlist after the party and was actually surprised to see that the band didn’t even stick to the songs they had picked - a sign that they adjusted based on what the crowd was loving. It’s been nearly a month since the big day and people keep telling us how amazing the music was, and we can’t stop watching the many videos David took from the night, reliving the magic that his band created. If you’re thinking about which band to have for your wedding, look no further than the David Rothstein Band - you won’t be disappointed!!

Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

Awarded Best of Zola
When you elope in the middle of a pandemic, it matters all the more that you love your photographer--since they'll be the only other person at your wedding. :) And in short, we couldn't be happier that ours was Shawnee. She has such a gift and a love for the work she does—and it shows. We knew she was the right person from the moment we met on Zoom--she is warm and kind, asked all the right questions, and instantly put us at ease. My partner and I eloped at the end of October 2020 in DC, just before the election. It was a whirlwind moment for so many reasons, especially as a queer couple. And it mattered to us that the person who captured those treasured memories, really understood what that moment meant to us. Everyone who sees our photos marvels at how wonderful they are—and no doubt we look great, but Shawnee’s warmth and direction and stellar eye really made all the difference. Vibing with your photographer matters—we’re so grateful to have found one with such grace and as much love for her art as Shawnee. <3

Wife, mom, cat guardian, storyteller, photographer. I've been photographing those madly in love for over a decade and still love every moment of it. I am a coffee lover, light chaser, and extroverted introvert. I find joy in being surrounded by family and friends, and relish the quiet moments of reading or aimlessly scrolling on my phone.

Ceri is, simply put, one of the best in the business, and she is sure to make your day a success! Her skills anticipating the needs of everyone involved at the wedding and her ability to pivot are astounding on their own, but when paired with her strengths in capturing moments you didn't even know you needed, well, she's out of this world! I highly recommend anyone to work with Ceri if they are looking to have a great time, an efficient process, and someone to make you feel comfortable and outright amazing!

They did beautiful ceremony music, incredible sax jazz during cocktail hour to keep it classy. Then, they kept everyone engaged and entertained for the reception, from my aunt in a walker to my college friends twerking. We danced the night away but lost our voices from screaming along with the songs too. 10/10 you can’t go wrong with dueling pianos - DJs and wedding bands are out, Felix & Fingers is IN!

Hello! While I have always had a passion for photography it wasn't until 2012 that I realized how much I TRULY loved it. My husband handed me a DSLR camera and I started calling on my friends to do photoshoots. Next thing I knew, Markina B. Photography was born and it's been going ever since. What I love about being a photographer is that I get to see emotions, expressions, memories and joy-fullness through my lens. I get to capture and create art out of it for my clients to hang on their walls or to give as a gift. Photography is my true passion in life and I will never not love it.

Markina is absolutely amazing in every way! My (now) husband and I met with Markina to discuss engagement and wedding photography, which is something that we were extremely anxious about because we wanted the best! After our initial conversation with Markina, we immediately knew she was the one! Markina helped us with our timeline, setting up our photo lists, and she took the most amazing pictures!! My husband and I are normally not very comfortable in front of a camera, but Markina made us feel completely at ease. She guided us through each pose and kept everything moving smoothly. We are so pleased each time we work with her. Markina’s positive nature and flexibility in her work make her the best photographer to work with. I recommend Markina B. Photography to everyone!

Welcome to Golden Touch DJ, where Minnesota DJ Bill Young has dazzled guests of weddings and many other events in the Twin Cities (and surrounding area) for more than 15 years. Bill’s journey as a DJ started years ago when he was a professional dancer. Also born into a musical family, Bill instinctively knows how to get a crowd going—reading people and intuitively choosing songs to get them out of their chairs and onto the dance floors until the party’s over.

I would highly recommend Bill from Golden Touch DJ. He was super attentive to details from start to finish, and had many helpful suggestions. We were thrilled with his services and had a very fun wedding reception with Bill leading the event!

Along with a tray, wine stopper, ornament, and book mark, Danielle was able to take part of my Mother’s wedding dress (that was wrapped around my bouquet) and preserve it in a jewelry box with my flowers. Let me tell you, the reaction my mom had on her face when I gave her that jewelry box was indescribable. If you are ever second guessing preserving your wedding flowers, this is your sign to do it. You won’t regret it! Sarcasm and Sunshine’s work is impeccable and I hope that others are able to have their flowers preserved with such care and precision as I was able to have mine.

Hi, my name is Vivian. I grew up in the beautiful state of Oregon and have a huge black great dane. He makes my heart sing! Art has always been my entire life. Aside from wedding photography, I also teach dance for a living and write in my spare time. Some of my other hobbies include hiking, camping and traveling. I’ve spent a lot of time backpacking all over the world and made a ton of amazing memories doing it. I love what I do for work. The glitz, the glamour, the beautiful moments and all of the positive vibes. I hope we can meet one day so we can create something meaningful together.

Vivian Claire did such an amazing job on our wedding. She was VERY punctual. She attended our rehearsal to get an idea of our everything would photograph and then was at our wedding day THE ENTIRE DAY, which was amazing because she captured so many little details for us. She was like a ninja and sometimes she was at places we didn’t even know to get awesome shots. We got some of those classic/traditional wedding pictures, but Vivian also captured some non-rational pictures which we loved! She has so many ideas that were amazing! She even brought a speaker to play some music to get some even better shots! Vivian is quiet,but an amazing photographer, who does amazing work!

HEYYY! *waves hands* We are Leandra + Clinton Cunanan, owners and lead videographers of Food + Cake Wedding Films. We are huge advocates for doing exactly what you want on your wedding day. We had the most epic wedding of all time (ask us about it!), but we didn't hire a videographer. And now this why we do what we do. It's the best feeling knowing each one of our couples will be able to relive their wedding day for the rest of their lives. We didn't have that, and now we get to give that to you!

I am so blown away by not only the quality of Clint and Leandra's work as videographers, but also what wonderful people they are! Not even halfway through our first zoom with them to talk about what packages they offer and our vision for the day I knew they were the perfect fit for us! Being with them on the wedding day felt like hanging out with old friends, they were amazing at blending in to the crowd to capture candid moments while also giving us prompts that created some of our favorite memories of the day. They worked so well with our other vendors and I don't think our day would have been complete without them. They are masters at what they do, and also the perfect people to have during a busy and, at times, stressful day (Leandra was able to bussle my dress when no one else could get the loop on the buttons AND snagged me some appetizers when I was resting my feet after the receiving line, she was a lifesaver!) My husband and I both teared up watching our trailer and highlight reel, and then happy cried getting to see our whole ceremony, private vows, speeches, and first dances. I know this is footage we’ll be so happy to look back on in the years to come, not just of my husband and I but of our whole families as well! I'm so happy we found Food Cake, you will not regret hiring this fantastic couple!
