Milieu

  • Photojournalistic style

The word ‘milieu’ defines how we want to capture your wedding: as whole of scenery. Any experience is the result of a series of moments and feeling of our interaction with others. Images can recreate those intangible elements more fully in our mind, allowing us to relive our emotional experience long after the day has ended.

Awarded Best of Zola
Salvatore (Milieu) made our wedding day even more special than we could have expected. We LOVED his beautiful and creative ways of capturing our most special moments (if you look at his portfolio, you will know exactly what I mean). He is so very kind, professional, and made us so comfortable. He was so accommodating and helped us come up with a way to get all of the photos we wanted within the time frame we had to work with. I can go on and on about how much we loved working with Salvatore! He is truly a 1 of a kind find and we HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend him!

Eugene Svirhun

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Hayward, WI for additional fees

I started photography in 2017 and after being a part of many weddings, engagements, and family sessions, I still love what I do and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients. I consider myself a storyteller and love capturing the little details, the half-smiles, and the simple motions. For me, it is about seeing the real, the lovely, and the messy moments, the everyday magic that tells the stories of our lives. Each wedding and session has its own unique story to tell and I challenge myself to capture those stories through my camera as best as I can and would be honored to capture yours too!

We can’t express enough how incredible our experience with Eugene was and how perfectly he captured our wedding day. After Hurricane Helene, we had to change our venue and it was a little farther away from our original venue and Eugene made it happen and didn't want any extra travel fee or anything from us. On the wedding day he made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera and made sure no moment from our wedding went unnoticed. Not only is he an amazing photographer, but he’s also a fantastic person, and we truly hope our paths cross again in the future. We highly recommend planning your special day around when Eugene is available to document it—you won’t regret it!

As a documentary-style photographer, I truly believe that the essence of life is captured in the unscripted, candid moments that often go unnoticed-- Each click of my camera is more than just a snapshot; it’s an opportunity to freeze time and preserve the love, joy, and uniqueness of your moments for generations to come.

Where to begin?! Anna made my wedding day MAGICAL! Our photos felt like actual works of art, yet somehow were captured in such a natural way. She was the one decision I made as far as vendors go that I actually felt peace with. I had zero doubts she would make mine and my husbands day so special, and she truly did. I feel like I'm transported back into time every time I look at our photos!

Whether it’s a courthouse ceremony or a handfasting in the woods, I focus on the details and emotions that make your day truly yours. Let’s turn your love story into art.

Awarded Best of Zola
Our elopement photos by From GA with Love are absolutely magical. They didn’t just capture the obvious moments but found the heart in every little detail of our day. One of our favorite shots is of the winding dirt road we drove down at sunrise, with the mist clinging to the trees—it feels like the start of our own fairy tale. Another incredible image is of us exchanging our vows on a quiet riverbank, with a heron landing in the background as if nature itself was blessing our ceremony. Even the candid photo of us laughing together while struggling to light our unity candle in the breeze is now one of our most cherished memories. Their ability to honor the intimacy and uniqueness of our day made our gallery feel deeply personal and full of love. The best part was the inclusion of our kid, who got to feel like a part of the day. If you want a photographer who can make your story feel as epic and authentic as it deserves, they are the one.

I can't say enough good things about Makenna Smith Photography! There are so many things to love! We've worked with her three separate times and each time she absolutely exceeds our expectations! She is so incredibly talented. One of the times we worked with her was when she was just beginning her photography business and the finished product was absolutely stunning - we still get compliments today on our photos and I love to tell people that she was just getting started at the time. We love to brag about her! Her attention to detail and organizational skills during the planning process is so much appreciated. She helped answer all planning questions, assisted us with finding vendors and was so great at communicating with us and with our other vendors. Even though she had other clients, I always felt like the top priority. On the day of the wedding, Makenna is so helpful at keeping things going. She leads when she needs to but she's flexible and goes with the flow when things don't go as planned. She always makes it a priority to check in with the couple to see if they are having fun, doing okay, and enjoying the day. She's so selfless and does whatever it takes to make the day amazing for the couple. She goes above and beyond in everything she does - she is so much more than a photographer. Aside from being a great professional, Makenna is a wonderful person and her energy and heart shines through in everything she does. This is her passion. She loves capturing special moments and I'm so thankful she agreed to capture ours!

It was very important to me to have a wedding with a vintage look, and A.R. knew exactly what we wanted. He shot our wedding on a mix of digital and film and had tons of advice on how to style the lighting so that we could have a classic look. He was really polite and super easy going.

With over a decade of experience, I believe your wedding day should reflect who you are and the journey you share. Whether an intimate mountain elopement, a seaside ceremony, or a grand celebration, my focus is to capture your love story – the genuine, heartfelt moments that make your day unforgettable. I work closely with you to ensure each image feels natural and meaningful, letting you relive the day’s emotions. Based in Minnesota and ready to travel, I blend seamlessly into your day, preserving every detail with care. Let’s create a timeless collection that truly reflects your love and the legacy you’re building.

Oh my lanta. Where do I begin? If we had to get married again, my first task would be to see if Rigg & Co was available and if not, I’d change my wedding date. I couldn’t imagine not having her there! First, Kate listens to what you want. My husband and I really wanted a lot of candid photos of us and our guests. We had an intimate wedding with our closest friends and family so it was important to us that she captured them in the moment! Mission accomplished and more. Second, Kate is so talented and also just a fun human to be around. There’s no awkwardness or that “is this a good pose? Am I doing what I’m supposed to?” feeling because she makes you feel so comfortable! It was like she was just a part of the family and fit right in. She really was there at every moment - the rehearsal, up very early the next morning to go to the farmers market where I picked out my flowers, the ceremony, the dance, everything! Looking back, I’m extra thankful for her and the long day she put in because every moment was captured beautifully and exceeded my expectations. It even rained during our ceremony and the way she captured us during it was magical! I also can’t leave a review without mentioning the video she made! I was blown away by this. The video is so well done and thoughtful and really special to us as we got married during COVID and we had people who could not attend. This video allows them to see all of the intimate details of our wedding without actually being there. We even hired her years later to do family photos with our doggo! She’s the best. I feel like I’m rambling but it’s really because I cannot say enough positive things about Kate - hire her!

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 was a joy to have as our photographer! She captured both our engagement photos and wedding day. All our friends and family commented on how efficient, kind and patient she was. We are so fortunate to have such beautiful photos of our day and we felt so comfortable with her. Ceri excels at capturing moments and memories and really getting to know you as a couple. We couldn’t recommend her more!

My name is Meredith. I’m a self-taught photographer, an avid hiker, and a person who loves getting lost in their own city. If I am not photographing, you will either find me in one of two places, a coffee shop or out in nature usually eating my favorite snacks in fish form (Swedish or Gold), or belting anything from musicals to early 2000s country (yes there is a difference) to 90’s hip hop jams.

Cross Lake Media went above and beyond to make our entire engagement seamless. Meredith highlighted our interests during engagement pictures. She met with us prior to the wedding to make sure everything was in order. Her and Shawna kept us on our schedule on the wedding day. Her editing is phenomenal. She lets the natural beauty shine, while adding her artistic style to each picture. She cared for us as a couple, not as “Just another client.” 10/10 recommend!

Hey, how cool of you to end up here. I promise not 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 day in all its imperfect glory, say something, let's make it happen.

Loy at Sweet Lime takes some great photos. He was a joy to work with and helped set the room up by providing a suggestion that none of the restaurant staff, or us, had thought of which ended up working swimmingly. The day of the wedding, he was present but also not too if that makes sense. He was kind enough to send us a couple preview shots while we impatiently/patiently waited. The photos are well worth the wait. I would be happy to recommend Sweet Lime Photography. You will not be disappointed in his service.
