Madison, WI

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.

WE LOVE GRANT. I can’t say it enough. I’ve been antsy for more of my friends and family to get engaged just so I can recommend Grant be their wedding photographer. We started with an engagement session with Grant, which felt just like a hang out (and that is EXACTLY what we wanted). We were dreading the engagement session, since this was our first time getting professional pictures taken, and we normally feel very awkward in front of a camera. Grant made it so easy and comfortable by playing music, joking around, asking questions, and prompting us to do certain things, so we never felt lost or posed. It also helped that Grant is hilarious- we were never told to “turn and face each other and pretend to laugh,” since we were basically naturally laughing the whole time already. For our wedding day, we hired Grant to shoot only with film, and boy did he deliver. There’s a sense of rawness and nostalgia to his film pictures, making them absolutely timeless. Each time I look through our gallery, I discover and love something new about each picture. He captured moments I didn’t even know that I wanted, but are now my favorite shots from that day. The day of your wedding, there are so many things going through your mind, so many questions being asked of you, and so many things you end up forgetting. Grant’s playful, yet confident energy constantly put me at ease. He knew when a joke was needed, when hair needed fixing, how to steam dresses (yes, he actually did that), how to deal with children, where to go and what to do at any moment, and when we just needed a break. To top it all off, Grant surprised me and my husband at the end of the night with a whole set of Polaroids he took of every big moment throughout the whole day (so thoughtful and special!!). I now have them all in a frame, illustrating our wedding so perfectly. It is VERY clear Grant is in this business because he loves it and is passionate about what he does. I was never hesitant to tell him my [particular/annoying] requests or opinions, because he was always open to hearing them and excited to take on a new challenge. I honestly wish I could just take Grant and his camera with me everywhere I go to capture all the big moments in my life. I will cherish our pictures forever, as well as our new friendship with him!

Working with Courtney was a dream! She was incredible to work with from the start with our engagement session all the way through to the wedding day and beyond. My husband and I are a little more on the shy/awkward side - especially when it comes to taking photos, but Courtney made us feel so comfortable and knew exactly what to have us to do to get some beautiful and fun shots :) Courtney was so fun and helpful throughout our special day and the questionnaires she sent us to fill out were so helpful for us to give her any heads up and set our day up for success. Our wedding day and timeline went off without a hitch and everyone has had wonderful things to say about our photo/video team and the sneak peek photos! Oh, she was also so patient with our chaotic pups who wanted to join in on some photo fun! We have zero regrets choosing Wild Opal and would recommend them to anyone and everyone!! :)

At the end of our engagement session, we knew we wanted her for our wedding. Bride's, if you don't know now you know that when you find a gem of a vendor, hold onto them!!!! Amandha is genuine, down to earth, laid back, sweet and considerate. She was great on our wedding day! We booked her well over a year before our wedding day, and she stayed in contact over that time touching base to prepare for the big day! Our wedding photos are now in, and we are just in love. She was also extremely communicative to all the wedding vendors on the big day to make sure the timeline stayed on track. If you're debating on who to hire, this is your girl.

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

If adventure makes your heart beat fast, you don't mind straying from tradition, sarcasm and retro music are your love languages, and if you're down to frolic through an open field with me, we'll be best friends in no time. When you choose your wedding photographer, it's about so much more than just hiring a professional to take your photos - it's about connecting with someone who'll capture your special day with intention. So be sure to ask all your questions, and make sure you *click* (pun intended) with the person behind the camera!

We really feel like we’re reliving our wedding day when we look at the photos. I’m so excited to ooo and aw at these for the rest of my life!

The rawness of emotion & human connection is what drew me into wedding and portrait photography. I am a storyteller and celebrater for the lighthearted and crazy in love. I focus on capturing authentic photographs that stand the test of time. My goal is to provide couples with one heck of an experience and images that can be cherished for a generations. One of my favorite facts about my style is that I created my own preset from scratch, and that each photo receives the dedicated time it takes to ensure that its final version is its best. The result is beautiful, sentimental photos that preserve meaningful and true-to-life moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
Annie was absolutely amazing. I’ve never had professional pictures taken and am nervous in front of the camera. I was always worried about how my wedding pictures would turn out or if I could even afford them. Annie made both my husband and I very comfortable in front of the camera and even got us laughing. The pictures were so fun to take and I absolutely LOVE how they came out. Not only that but they didn’t cost me half of my wedding. Annie is very reasonably priced and her photos are exquisite. She helped me stay on track with which photos to take and did amazing with the candids. She also gave us our pictures in a very timely manner and I can tell she spent a lot of time and effort into the shots. We 100% recommend Annie to any and everyone, all the time, 10/10.

Nicole captured the wedding day from beginning to end in such effortless and timeless fashion; from the tiny details of our homemade Day-of-the-Dead sugar cookie decorations to the vast woody backdrop of where my husband and I said our vows, Nicole captured every design and element through her camera lense with artful finesse, giving my husband and I treasured photographic stills that will forever keep our special wedding day celebration alive. Even more impressive is how Nicole adapted to our needs in every way possible, such as running up the stairs to grab my husband’s boutonnière, organizing each family for pictures after the ceremony, climbing up on rocks for that perfect shot, and helping bustle the long train of my dress for the first dance. She brings calm to the chaos and reassurance to any unexpected uncertainty. Her crafted behind-the-scenes edits are also stunning and preserved the genuine characteristics, colors, and romance of our wedding day. I cannot recommend Nicole enough!

I believe you can't stand behind your business unless you can say you fully understand it – and 24 years of marriage is proof that I KNOW LOVE. I set out to capture the essence of love when I started Parker Photography in 2018. I have been married to my best friend for the last 24 years, and people who meet us swear we are newlyweds. We still act like lovestruck teenagers with each other, that same feeling we get from every newly engaged couple that we meet. We know where our couples are coming from and what they hope to capture in their engagement sessions and on their wedding day, and we make it effortless for them to achieve their goals.

I’ve always enjoyed people immensely, from all walks of life and from wherever I’ve been in the world. I’m friendly, easy-going, curious, kind, supportive, and flexible. I listen and observe. These characteristics, combined with my artistic vision and technical expertise, allow me to capture poignant, humorous and truly candid photos of people and their environment.

I searched for a photographer to capture my surprise proposal to my then-girlfriend and am I glad I found Laurie. She was flexible, professional, helpful, and above all really good at taking photographs. We worked through an initial cancellation, she rescheduled with me around the holidays, she knew where and how to take the best shots and she struck the perfect chord of incorporating our wishes during the surprise engagement shoot while standing true when she knew where a good shot would come (and she was right). From meeting with me for a walk-through a few weeks before the surprise to perfectly blending into the crowds at Central Park for the surprise engagement, Laurie went above and beyond and really made the surprise engagement one my fiancé and I can remember forever.

We did a couple’s photoshoot and Kieran was not only excellent at suggesting poses, finding good lighting, and making sure colors between our clothing and backgrounds popped, but *also* she was really and truly able to capture the sweet candid moments of affection as we were doing the shoot. I was blown away by her artistic eye and her ability to capture such sweet pictures of us as a couple.

Hey, how cool of you to give me a few minutes of your time. I am not here to bore you with a bunch of flowery language or over-the-top promises. I love to document real moments. Weddings, elopements, couples' shenanigans - you name it, I am here for it. I do this with a healthy dose of humor, a dash of sarcasm and a whole lot of heart. So if you're looking for someone to capture your story in all its imperfect glory, say something, let's make it happen.

Erika and Loy are not only super creative, but they make wedding days fun. They create moments for couples that they remember forever, and it makes for outstanding video clips. Erika and Loy go above and beyond to bring out the best in every couple, from their fun playful side to their passion and love for each other. They have an eye for incredible shots and are always happy to work together to make it happen. They also capture those candid moments without interruption. I highly recommend Erika and Loy every time!

We worked with BarcStone Photography recently on an early-May 2022 wedding at our Tasting Room. Krista was thorough, asked good questions, took exceptional photographs of the couple as well as our property. BarcStone was pleasant to work with, informative, and easy to get a hold of.

When it comes to photographing your wedding, I take a mixed approach of being a "fly on the wall" and guiding when appropriate. Lots of times my couples see their galleries and noticed things they had no clue even happened during the day. Candids and true documentary style photographs are what I strive to provide, as well as traditional photographs and poses.

Hey there! My name is Angelina and I started practicing photography in August 2020, but I've had an interest in it since I was 13 years old (I really wanted to shoot for National Geographic). Now I've expanded into portraits, engagement sessions, and I've done small weddings. I'm a Chicago native but I've also lived in Iowa, Arizona, Nebraska, & Texas. What can I say, I enjoyed a somewhat nomadic lifestyle. I have recently moved back to Illinois in the town of Channahon. My style of photography is more documentary-esque. Either way, I enjoy conceptualizing with clients to find what works for you!

Angelina was such a breath of fresh air. You all know how stressful hosting events can be let alone having a wedding! She came early to the venue which calmed my nerves, and made genuine connections with everyone to produce some of the best photos. What I appreciated most was her professionalism and authenticity.

We are Haley + Alex, a husband and wife photo/video team team who are passionate about recording families to share their stories with future generations. We will always choose quality over quantity, snapshots full of personality instead of posed portraits, and backyard BBQs over fancy dinner parties. Our work is built on the foundation of our faith, our marriage, and loving our community.

Haley and Alex are an absolute pleasure to work with! They are incredible people, incredible photographers, and are everything we could have hoped for in a wedding photographer team. They took time to meet with us in person for coffee before we even signed a contract, and we knew right away that they were a perfect fit for us. They care about building relationships and getting to know people, and that really stood out to us! From the beginning, they took time to find out what was important to us in our wedding photography. They met with us, our planner, and scouted the venue to make sure everything was perfect for our special day. They really know what they’re doing, and wow their work is incredible! During our engagement session, and on our wedding day, they made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and captured our love in such an authentic way. When we look back at our photos, we are reminded of sweet conversation, genuine laughter, and how we felt in that moment. One of our favorite parts of having them as our photographers was Dad Cam- a 90’s camcorder that the bridal party passed around throughout the night. We have loved watching this footage and seeing the day from our bridal party’s perspective. What a creative idea and such a special memory! We really appreciate them taking the time to capture what was important to us, for being flexible throughout the day and for being incredibly kind. We are so in awe at the fact that we will have these photos to share with generations to come. Thank you Haley and Alex for the great gift that you have given us in these photos!

Authentic, inclusive and FUN. Those are three words that describe my photography style and my ideal couples. I'm a laid back mid-west native, Colorado transplant photographer. I've shot 300+ guest weddings and intimate mountaintop elopements. Big or small, I've photographed and filmed it all and I'd love to join you on your new adventure <3

Seriously the best vendor of our entire wedding. We met her at a LGBTQ networking event and knew right away we wanted her to photograph our wedding. She not only got a lot of great photos of my partner and I but she got pictures of everything I could've possibly wanted. She got photos of the kids dancing at the reception and of my best friend setting up our guest book and of my in-laws meeting my extended family who flew in all the way from India. It was all the stuff I didn't get to see since I was so busy. She is really one of the best candid photographers I've seen and I am so glad we met her and so glad she was able to be part of our wedding.

We are still chasing that dream and capturing so many amazing moments along the way. We have 3 wonderful children who are the fuel of our lives' drive. I (Rachel) am a lover of detail and David lives life on the edge. Together, we are a complementary couple and you'll definitely sense it when you work with us! Let's connect!

Her process for working with us was clear, straightforward, and attentive to detail. We were so glad that we were able to work with both Rachel and David and that they were willing to travel to South Bend, IN at a very reasonable cost. They were able to demonstrate poses together and each brought their own warmth and creativity to the shoot. They gave excellent directions and were exceptionally kind and patient with our family. The results are absolutely stunning - crisp, classic photos that celebrate our loved ones and even the smallest details of our wedding day! Our family and friends can't say enough about how wonderful they were to work with and how much they love the photos. We agree - we can't recommend Those McKissics highly enough!

As consumers ourselves, we deeply appreciate knowing WHO we are investing our money in. We want to be upfront and unapologetic about who we are, and what values we deeply believe in.

We reached out to Christy almost immediately after booking our venue (18 months before our wedding), and are so happy we did! We had a great engagement shoot - something we didn't think we needed/wanted but she convinced us that it was worth it and it was! When the pandemic hit, Christy was flexible and kind as we figured out how to change our wedding plans. We decided to have a super small, outdoor wedding at a family house with as many precautions and safety measures as possible and only 12 us total. Christy felt like a member of our family as she captured the most beautiful photos of our day! She was one of the only vendors on our wedding day and we are SO happy she was there with us! On top of Christy's awesomeness as a person, our photos are better than we ever could have imagined! We have the most beautiful photos to remember our intimidate wedding by and will cherish forever. Our family members who attended love them, too - and having such beautiful images to share with our friends and family who couldn't attend has been so great. Our wedding day was so much better than we could have imaged, and having Christy capture our day made it even better!

Hi Friend! If you would've asked me 7 years ago what I thought I'd be doing as a career, I would've never said photography. I always thought that an office job was the dream job for me. I have always loved taking photos & being creative, but I never thought it could be anything more than a hobby. Growing up I always felt like an outsider. I was always bigger than other girls, I was always darker & never felt pretty enough. I would look in the mirror & wonder why I didn't look like the girls at school.

Liz’s style of photography and editing was exactly what I wanted to capture our wedding, and I couldn’t be happier! I knew she would be a great choice, but her vibe exceeded my expectations. I wish I could get married again just to have her photograph it all over!

I'm a wedding photojournalist based in Las Vegas, with a huge desire to see the world. I'm lucky enough to be engaged (so I know exactly what you’re going through!) to the love of my life, John. Together, we have a home full of animals, go to too many concerts (or at least, we DID before 'Rona), and cook amazing foods in a tiny kitchen. I earned my bachelors and masters degrees in photojournalism from the University of Missouri, *cough cough* known as the best journalism school in the nation. I always thought I’d end up as a National Geographic photographer chasing down wildlife (a la Tiger King), but I think my job now is way better. :)

Choosing Amber as our photographer was one of the best investments we made for our wedding. She was always responsive, helpful, and a great ally to have along the process. We were lucky enough to use many of the different services she provides. We worked with one of her associates, Katelyn, for our engagement pictures and were so happy with the results. Amber photographed me for a special gift to my fiancé, and it was quite the experience which resulted in beautiful pictures and an amazing surprise (IYKYK). Day of our wedding, Amber showed up right on time and got to work. She blended in so seamlessly with our guests and helped bring some calmness to the day. She was incredibly professional yet felt like just another friend. Ever talented, she also made our bouquet and boutonniere, which were so lovely and just what I wanted. She even served as a chauffeur as we took pictures on Freemont. This chick does it all! Amber was able to provide some sneak peaks of our wedding lightning fast, and we shared them with our family back home. We were wowed with all that she was able to capture. There are simply not enough words to express how grateful we are for her services and the high quality of work she produced.

I first and foremost, love pasta. You probably thought I was going to say something about photography. Eh, I can live with that level of disappointment. I laugh, a lot; and loudly. I believe in friends and family and friends that are like family. You will rarely find me with anything sweet in my hand, and definitely zero chocolate. But I can promise you I've never turned down a french fry. When I'm not taking selfies with my clients, you can find me watching reruns (Friends, Schitt's Creek, and Parks and Rec, of course), car dancing, reciting early 00's hip hop lyrics, and online shopping.

Katy is truly amazing. She photographed our wedding in 2014 and the pictures turned out phenomenal. She also arranged to shoot at Victory Field for our engagement session which was such an awesome experience. Almost 8 years later, she is still our go-to photographer. Not once have we felt we were being “posed” for a photo. She has a way of capturing those raw, authentic moments without being invasive and she has always made us feel comfortable. She has such an amazing energy and you can feel the passion she has for her career. Katy is truly amazing and I’m so glad she has been the one to capture some of the most memorable moments for my family.

My name is Jaslyn Elizabeth, I am a wife, mother, photographer and makeup artist. I have been doing photography since I was 15 but, it was always scenic photography. I got into taking photos for people in 2020 and have fallen in love! I am a super shy person when you first meet me so, I never knew I had what it took to take people's photos. Once I get behind that camera though, it all goes away. I absolutely love it, I love getting to go exploring with my clients and capturing their most precious memories. Being able to put your love for each other into a photo is my dream and I am lucky I get to do just that.

I love to have fun and I put 110% into everything I do. I’m outgoing, talkative, silly, a little sarcastic…but most importantly I’m a mother. I LOVE photography and I got into it after having our first daughter. Like most new parents I wanted to capture everything she did. It became an obsession for me to perfect my photography, partly because I like to be the best at whatever I do and also because I wanted to have amazing pictures of my girls! I’ve had some of the worst experiences with photographers before I became one.

I'm a Wedding photographer based in Northern Illinois - My photo aesthetic is probably best described as an earth toned Cinematic. Style of shooting??? Basicalllyyy editorial with minor prompting for those select few that are camera shy. Trust me - I want you to look good so you can see your pretty face on this site front & center! I took a break for a while being a mom of a few wildlings, moved across the country with the love of my life and just finding out how much I missed home & how amazing the people are around me in the right areas. Love to travel, bucket list is still Joshua Tree in California + ALWAYS Colorado!

My fiancé found her online, and they both planned the most beautiful “surprise” engagement (I was suspicious) she made it so prefect and I was overjoyed with how the pictures turned out. This moment she captured for me is one I get to tell and show my grandchildren about someday and that means more to me than anything else

I’m Megan Thompson, and I am the gal behind the camera at Meganography! I’ve always had a passion for photography, ever since I was a wee little one! When I was approx. 4 years old, my Grandma would let me use her camera to take pictures of my dolls (lol)! I've owned Meganography since 2016, and I've been photographing love since 2017. As you can tell, I LOVE to travel! Please ask about my "wedding bucket list location" list, occasionally I offer discounts in those locations. I also am in love with any and all cats of the world, sunshine, wearing sweatpants/leggings, and Starbucks pink drinks! My goal is to capture your love in every image.

Megan was literally the sweetest and best to work with!! We’ve booked with her many times now and have never been disappointed in the work she sends us back! Megan is hands down the best!!

We are a collaboration of photographers and editors bringing together unique ideas and electrifying energy. We are eager and excited to work with couples on one of the most exciting days of their lives!

My husband, Michael and I live in the Minneapolis area but we had our wedding in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, where our friends and family are from. We started by looking for photographers in Michigan before coming across Reflect Studios, right here in Minneapolis. I fell in love with their photography style immediately so I reached out. We ended up stretching our budget a little and booked a destination wedding package with them right away. We felt that Reflect was the absolute best bang for our buck. We met and maintained contact with our photographer, Sian, months prior to the wedding day so we felt really comfortable everything would go as planned. The wedding day was nothing short of perfect. I married my best friend in front of the people that mean the most to us in one of the most beautiful venues I could have ever imagined. A week later, Sian sent us a Sneak Peek album of our wedding and about a month later, we got all of our photos. Every time we see the photos Sian captured for us, Michael and I relive that day over and over again. Sian did an incredible job in capturing the emotion that everyone was feeling. To this day, Sian and I remain close friends. We would hire Reflect Studios 100 out of 100 times.

Shooting with Laura was such a blast. Not only did she make it easy, she made it so much fun! We shot in Hocking Hills, which can be pretty tricky terrain to walk through while all dressed up! She made sure we were comfortable the entire time, helped me climb up and down stairs, & was so eager to help in any way that she could. To top it all off, HER PHOTOS WERE BREATHTAKING. I cried when I first saw them. They are photos of memories that I will treasure forever, & I owe it all to Laura! I can’t recommend her enough!

I started Megan Pontius Photography after I graduated Highschool in 2021. I didn't really get into couples photography until I got married in 2022. It wasn't until then that I really saw the different seasons in a relationship. Between the first date, to the 100th date, to getting engaged, stress of wedding planning, to the wedding day, and the days after that taking on life together. I'm here to make sure those moments are documented for you to look back on years later.

I've worked with Megan Pontius in the past and she is wonderful to work alongside during a wedding day. She wants the absolute best for her couples' experience and is professional and clear in communication throughout the day. I definitely recommend her photography services to any couples looking to book for their wedding!
