Hello! My name is Brook! I am the owner and lead photographer of Forever Frozen Photography. Thank you for checking out my page! Let's jump right in! I have an amazing 4 year old son and my husband and I are newly married as of November 2022! I've been a professional photographer for about 8 years now enjoying every minute of it! My true passion when getting behind the lens is wedding photography. I pride myself in noticing the little details of special moments that happen during your wedding day, things that in maybe 30 years from now you may not remember of the day.

Hey, Im Grant. I'm a Madison, WI based wedding photographer who specializes in a documentary approach using both film and digital photography. If you want your wedding gallery to be uniquely yours (vs a Pinterest shotlist), then I'm your guy.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing the right photographer was one of the more important decisions for our wedding, and we dedicated considerable time to making the right choice. Looking back after our wedding, I can say that we made the best decision. Working with Grant was truly a fantastic experience. From the moment we connected, he seamlessly guided us through the entire process, making us feel at ease and ensuring our day was beautifully captured. He made the day a breeze, capturing every special moment while making us feel totally relaxed. His ability to blend into the day effortlessly while capturing important moments was impressive. Some of the most cherished shots were taken without us even realizing he was there, yet each picture vividly brings back the emotions we felt at that moment. His documentary style? It's our jam! No stiff poses- just real, authentic shots that tell our story. Also, his skill in film photography added an incredible depth to the images, preserving the essence of our day in timeless frames. I also want to point out how easy communication was/is with him. Grant is lightning-fast with responses! So friendly and approachable too. When so many details of a wedding can be stressful, it was SO nice knowing we didn’t have to worry at all about our photography. If you're after a wedding photographer, Grant has the skills, the vibe, and the passion. Highly recommend!

The photography for our wedding day was one of the most important parts of our wedding day and we are so happy Caitlin was our photographer! We had to cancel our original wedding due to covid, and since our families live far away, we ended up having a ceremony with just me and my husband, and our two witnesses (a friend and my mother in law). It was so important to us to have photos to capture the day so we could share with our families and friends who could not be there. They all absolutely loved them- she captured the beauty and detail of even our small simple ceremony. Leading up to the day, Caitlin was responsive, kind, and professional. She made sure to check in and ask us what was important for her to capture on the day of and double checked logistics for the day. On our wedding day she did such a good job! She is down to earth and comfortable- it makes a difference when you feel at ease! She helped us figure out how to pose and got some really nice photos, and she also took some candid shots which are some of our favorites! the photos came our beautiful. When we were looking for photographers, I was drawn to Caitlin's work- she uses light in such a beautiful way. We were not disappointed with our photos! We highly recommend cjefko photography!!

My father started Ueda Photography in Brazil more than 50 years ago. I grew up immersed in the world of photography as both my parents were professionals in the field. I remember bright lights, classy suits, winding the film of the Hasselblad, and my dad’s fun personality. My father would take me to parties, even at the age of five, and instruct me in lighting. He introduced me as “Uedinha” or “Little Ueda” to the party guests. Now I find myself in Madison, WI. I continue my father’s legend in a new land. I have kept his excellence and attention to you, the client, while going forward with my own artistic sense of photojournalism.

With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

We were so pleased with OLAS and glad we hired them for our wedding. By far one of the easiest vendors we worked with. They were prepared, communicative, and always available for questions. We were impressed from the beginning with their clear communication and responsiveness and we stay impressed after seeing the end result. We hired OLAS for photography and videography. Both did an amazing job and we were so happy with the results. OLAS also took the time to understand our needs and the unique cultural components of our ceremony (Indian Catholic ceremony) that needed attention. Highly recommend this company for your wedding. We were also so happy with the video quality - it was like watching a movie!

I've been passionate about documenting and creating since I was a little girl running wild in the suburbs of St. Paul. I would steal my parent's film camera and take dozens (okay maybe hundreds) of blurry photos of our dog. In high school, I spent babysitting money on a polaroid and then finally my beloved point and shoot, which was my favorite accessory for a night out! I was gifted my first DSLR in my early twenties, and that changed the way I looked at the role photography played in my life. What was always a beloved hobby became my passion, and I've never been happier.

Awarded Best of Zola
I found Bonnie on Instagram and fell in love with her photograph style. She was wonderful for our engagement photos, and we are so excited to see the rest of our wedding photos. She was able to drive several hours to meet us, since our venue wasn't in her home base, for an additional reasonable charge. She was kind and fun, putting us at ease while getting our photos taken (we are not used to it at all!). She even helped us incorporate some of our ideas about playing games and reading books during our photoshoot and was very encouraging and accommodating. She made sure our photos didn't look posed, and captured many genuine laughs and smiles. Her photos are warm and colorful, without washed out skies or whites. We highly recommend Bonnie if you are looking for a photographer!

Nelena and Dom took photos at my rustic/modern wedding at cider mill in Princeton, Illinois. Once the four of us met, my husband and I loved how easy it was to speak to Nelena and Dom and how they immediately understood where we were coming from. As introverts we wanted a photographer with a larger-than-life personality, someone who would find candid moments on our day and Andreoni Photography really brought the fun. I can’t stress enough how truly wonderful our experience was. The two of them worked so well together. They brought so much excitement and fun when capturing photos of our wedding party. Nelena and Dom were always so responsive to my many questions and concerns I had. I could expect a response from either of them within 24 hours and usually much quicker than that. The first time my now-husband and I saw the photos, we melted! We had a date night and snuggled up on the couch, and loaded the photos onto our big screen. It truly felt like we were back on our special day. We loved the unique poses and fun and intimate moments Andreoni photography captured. I had no idea our small town wedding could look so incredibly beautiful. The finished photos ooze class, sophistication and refinement.

I'm a 34-year-old husband to Samantha, our son Silas, our soon-to-be daughter Fiona, and our wiggler companion Moxie. I've been a wedding photographer for 11 years, having photographed over 300 weddings and countless other sessions! My hobby is also my job, and you bet my wife loves that, haha. I am also a stay-at-home dad, a philatelist, a Lego freak, and a craft beer nerd, and we have an orange fridge, haha.

The quality of Erik's work as a photographer is unparalleled. He truly captured the "light, bright, airy" aesthetic that I loved when I first started researching different styles. 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. When I shared with others, the first thing they commented was: "Wow, Your photographer KILLED it with the wedding photos!" Extremely high quality editing....Erik is worth every penny and I would highly recommend him to anyone!

I’m addicted to capturing who you are and your tale as it unfolds (the photojournalistic approach gives me life). I can occasionally be found sipping on bubble tea while indulging in Doctor Who, Sherlock, or Merlin marathons. Being diagnosed with Lupus at 16, I had to give up my ultimate goal of being a pilot in the Air Force. After my first year of Law School, I felt a bit empty and sat down to take a serious look at my life. I never saw it as a career path and pretty much wrote it off until 2016. I'm extremely blessed to be able to work with so many amazing people. Full: www.chettaratphotography.com/about

I cannot recommend Chettara enough! Our whole experience, from the first email to the wedding to receiving the photos has been a pure joy - she is so sweet and so easy to work with, it really felt like having a friend at our wedding! I am completely obsessed with our wedding pictures, they are absolutely stunning and gorgeous (a comment we've been hearing from our friends and family) and I really feel like I'm reliving the joy of that day! I truly wish and probably will print out ALL of the photos. This was the best decision we've made (outside of getting married of course :) ) and I would highly HIGHLY recommend you hire her for not just wedding photos, but engagement/modeling, etc! She's a true gem of a person and of a photographer :)

We booked Taber for our wedding. She was absolutely incredible. She arrived at the venue early, to capture my daughter's and I getting ready before the rest of my wedding party arrived and that was so special to me. Taber captured moments without us even realizing she was there, and those memories we will cherish forever. Our photos turned out absolutely breathtaking! She was so easy and fun to work with. She's professional, fun, experienced and knowledgeable. You will not be disappointed! We highly recommend Taber!

From the moment we booked her, we knew we were in the best hands! She made us feel so confident and comfortable every step of the way. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she also went above and beyond, practically acting as a wedding planner. She guided us through the planning process, helping with the timeline and ensuring everything ran smoothly. Her expertise and care truly made the entire experience stress-free. As for the photos, they are beyond breathtaking! She has an amazing ability to capture the raw emotions and beautiful moments that would otherwise go unnoticed. Every photo feels full of life and love, and she made us feel at ease in front of the camera the whole time.
