Developing Diamonds Photography LLC

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Merrimac, WI

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!

Elliot made all of our dreams come true. His professionalism and talent does not go unnoticed. He was the first vendor we booked for our wedding before we even had a venue figured out because of how much we loved his work. He is incredibly responsive to texts and emails which is so important when planning a wedding. He was very prepared for the wedding day! Elliot was able to make sure we stayed on schedule and even moved events around when needed to get the best photos possible since our wedding was outside. He went above and beyond to make our wedding run smoothly. By the end of the night, we didn't want it to end so we even extended his services by an hour which he happily made work. We even had sneak peeks by dinner time which surprised us. We could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. I am recommending him to all of my friends with weddings in the future. I can't imagine my wedding any other way. Thank you Elliot!

Gmartel Photography 

5.0

  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Merrimac, 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!

And the drinks that Jay designed for us were amazing. The day of our wedding, Four Winds helped keep water pitchers full and spaces clean. I've been at several weddings that didn't have refreshed water pitchers or other services, and Four Winds anticipated our needs before we even noticed them. And we've gotten so many compliments on the venue since our wedding!

I enjoy spending my free time with my family, sipping coffee, visiting art galleries, taking roadtrips, listening to live music, and exploring new cities.

I have gotten to work with Nick Garcia Photography several times over the last year and every time it has been phenomenal. He not only captures amazing images, but does so in a kind and professional way. Very prompt as well. I highly recommend Nick!

AB On Site Beauty

  • Beauty professional
  • Starts at $80
  • Serves Merrimac, WI

AB On Site Beauty is entering their third official year in business as a wedding hair and makeup company. With over 12 years of experience in the beauty industry owner Alyssa has been specializing in brides, and every year has mastered her art more and more. She now specializes in both makeup and hair artistry, and has added on an incredible team to be able to accommodate larger bridal parties.

Alyssa and her team were amazing to work with for my wedding! We did all hair and makeup at the venue and they arrived early and were ready to go. We had a large group but all bridesmaids, mothers and myself were done on time and looked amazing. Our wedding was on a particularly hot and humid day in July and everybody’s hair and makeup survived throughout the entire day. Alyssa and her team had great energy throughout the morning in the bridal suite and really made the getting ready process fun and easy. Alyssa was also on-hand to do touch-ups after my first look with my parents and groom. I would recommend AB Onsite to any bride!

I am blessed to have known the women of Creamery 201 for several years now, but even more so that I had the pleasure of getting married at their beautiful venue last weekend. My husband and I had the pleasure of working closely with Katie, Abby, and Libby throughout the wedding planning process. They truly made it so easy. There was great communication (answering my million and one questions), several meetings leading up to the big day, and assistance with decor through their decor store. On the big day, Katie and her team were attentive and helped keep everything on track. They truly treat every couple that walks through their doors like family and go above and beyond to provide such great service. My husband and I are so thrilled with our experience and couldn't be more thankful for Katie and the rest of the Creamery 201 Staff!! -- The Ehrke's

Daniel helped give us the dream ceremony we didn't know we wanted! We had cello & keyboard accompaniment in Olbrich Botanical Garden. His expertise in his craft was brilliantly shown as he totally passed the high expectations of the musicians in my family! He was so very easy to work with, and communicated with us every step of the way. I didn't have to worry about the ceremony music at all, and was stress-free in that regard. Thank you so much, Daniel! Totally recommended!

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!

We source from suppliers around the world but are passionate about sourcing closer to home more and more each year: from our own flower farm and from local growers whenever we can! Briarwood Flowers is here to make wedding floral design the easiest part of planning your day!

I am forever grateful that I chose Briarwood to flower my wedding! I knew from my first meeting with Delaney that they were such a great fit. This is a family business who works so hard farming their own flowers and creating original designs. Delaney made everything so easy and customizable and came up with some AMAZING ideas for my wedding that had our guests talking nonstop. They were the finishing touch on our day that truly made it look magical. They stood out against all of our other vendors. I will be recommending this company to everyone in my life who is getting married!!

We came across this venue and from the moment we walked in the doors we were in awe. From the old ticket booth to the beautiful wood bar, the stage and the stunning chandelier you can see from the outside, it is so very special. Everyone including our vendors couldn’t stop talking about how great the venue was. The owners were also great to work with and could tell they loved their venue and it’s rich history. Bonus you get a great bridal room to get ready, a quaint rehearsal area having it the entire weekend was so appreciated!

Milford Hills Hunt Club was the perfect venue for our wedding day. We primarily communicated with them over email which was always prompt and detailed. The outdoor space was gorgeous and made for a beautiful ceremony backdrop. The indoor space is on the smaller side but worked well for our wedding of about 150 guests. Heidi, the on-site coordinator, was phenomenal - her organization and communication really allowed my husband and I to relax and soak in being newlyweds. The food provided by Milford Hills was delicious and having the ceremony, reception and catering all handled by one vendor streamlined the planning process. It's a stunning venue with an accommodating staff that helped contribute to our special day.

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!
