My name is Elliot Stokes and I am a photographer located in the Madison, WI area, but I work all across Wisconsin and Illinois. I have been drawn to the camera since I was young, but becoming a father has really shown me the magic behind capturing the most candid and beautiful moments of our lives. I started my journey into professional photography officially in the summer of 2019 and received my Bachelors of Fine Arts degree with honors in Digital Photography in the spring of 2022. I absolutely love what I do and look forward to every new experience and opportunity this journey takes me on!

The photos are absolutely stunning, capturing every beautiful moment perfectly. We are so grateful to have had him as part of our special day!

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,800

Hi, I'm Brianna! I'm a wedding and elopement photographer based in Madison, Wisconsin. I'm an adventurous spirit who loves traveling and taking photos. I've been photographing weddings for 8 years! I absolutely love weddings, and each one is so unique and I enjoy capturing the thoughtful touches and emotions on your special day. I wholeheartedly believe that the photos I create for you on your wedding day will soon be priceless, magical, time-traveling heirlooms. I love shooting outdoors, no matter the weather, and am always inspired by beautiful greenery, a sun-kissed field of summer wildflowers, or a moody piece of architecture.

I had the pleasure of working with Brianna on a wedding at the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art in October of 2023. She was very professional and easy to work with. Upon receiving the image gallery, I was blown away at what she captured from the day. She used a variety of techniques to create vibrant and innovative effects with lighting in some images, especially the dance/party period of the event. I would highly recommend Brianna Kraft Photography!

I'm a self proclaimed music enthusiast, homebody, & a love-your-photos advocate who promises to be with you for every single step to i do. On days that I'm at home, I'm usually curled up on the couch with my golden doodle and a good book. If the weather is nice, you can find me at the pool, hiking, or downhill skiing in the colder months! Oh.. & I LOVE food.

How do you put into words a service that is absolutely perfect and everything you’ve ever dreamed of? Caitlin is absolutely incredible. She has gone above and beyond other photographers I’ve worked with in every way. She helped us from the start with all sorts of information, tips and tricks and helped us create a timeline that worked for everyone and kept the whole day flowing. From engagement photos, to boudoir photos to our wedding – Caitlin was there and documented every step of the way. She truly is a godsend. She is so talented and every photo is crisp, beautiful and shows the true emotion of the day. She has one of the fastest turn-around times I have ever come across for wedding photographers. (We had our sneak peak 14 hours after she left our wedding and our entire gallery in 5 DAYS!) and every photo is perfect. She’s so quick and efficient and the groomsman didn’t complain once! She’s got a wonderful personality and she’s got jokes and makes every situation light and so enjoyable. She’s like a ninja and sometimes I forgot she was there! She’s so thorough and doesn’t miss a beat if something changes on the fly. We truly love all of our photos and recommend her to all of our friends who are getting married. She made the whole experience a breeze and so enjoyable and we love our photos and her so much!

HEY! I'M ASHLEY! Aka, Your Professional third wheel! I am so happy you dropped by! I am a uber bubbly, warm hearted, person who loves to order 3 drinks at Dutch Bros and say its for other people but really its just for me. When I am not spending my lifes savings at Dutch Bros, I am professionally following peeps in love and photographing their stories. I am a lover of true crime and murder podcasts! (But I mean who isnt! I just cant help it!) FUN FACT: I speak switzerdütsch, aka a German slang. My mom is originally from Switzerland and my dad from Jamaica, so you know I am always hungry for adventures (and new places to binge eat at).

Hiring Ashley was easily one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She’s bubbly, kind, and makes you feel like you’ve been friends forever. The day of our wedding went by so fast, but every single image she captured brings me back in an instant. She not only captured our love story, but captured our friends and family beautifully. Every silly moment, tender exchange and happy tear was published in our gallery — and for that, I am forever grateful. THANK YOU Ashley & Meredith, our wedding day was all the more special with your talent!

Lauren was an amazing photographer to work with! My husband and I planned to get married in Rockford while living in Houston. Choosing our photographer who was willing to work with our weird circumstance was super important. From the start Lauren was communicative, supportive, and flexible! As a person she is so kind and calming, as a professional her pictures really captured what I envisioned for our wedding day. She was direct about her pricing, her suggestions, and her advice. On my wedding day I didn’t have to worry about a thing and I’m so glad she captured our most important moments.
