Stephanie Koppa - Photographer 

5.0

Milwaukee, WI
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,600

Hey! Allow me to introduce myself - I'm Stephanie. Born & raised in Wisco but I have a wandering soul. I love photographing love. Silly love, sweet love, crazy love, & any kind in between. Adventurous couples are my jam - those that aren't afraid to jump in a lake fully clothed or hang out with alpacas in the freezing cold for their shoot. I live for shoots where we are all barefoot, hanging by the lake, enjoying the sunset while I capture the moments.

Stephanie Koppa was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. From the very start, her communication was easy, accountable, and completely transparent, putting our minds at ease throughout the entire process. She was up front about pricing which we really appreciated. The quality of their work was truly incredible - the photos were absolutely beautiful and made me tear up when I first saw them. We booked Courtney as our head photographer and she knew exactly what she was doing! She made everything feel so easy and relaxed, and their team went above and beyond, even sending us prints of our photos with a beautiful Christmas ornament! They gave us so many good edited photos I was truly blown away. If you are thinking about booking Stephanie Koppa, do it - they are so thoughtful and talented, and will ensure your wedding day is captured perfectly.

Awarded Best of Zola
We searched for a photographer for our Lake Geneva wedding but it was a bit difficult as we both live in Chicago. Luckily, I had read some really great reviews about Ari Rosenthal Photographers and was thrilled when I talked with Ari. He was helpful and professional, had our date available and their price was perfect. Mark, one of the photographers and the one who we chose, was amazing to work with on our special day. We have had so many family and friends just love the photos when we shared them! Mark's professional experience put us at ease from the moment he arrived and the communication was great from the first phone call. We feel so fortunate to have chosen Mark to be our photographer as his ability in working with all of us, was so calming and fun, plus our pictures turned out so awesome! We look forward to celebrating our 1st Anniversary on September 29th and have incredible photos to forever enjoy!

  • Starts at $2,200

I’ve always had a deep passion for organizing and planning, and I believe that every special event deserves to be absolutely stunning. With this philosophy in mind, I founded XOXO by Sara, and have gained many valuable connections with industry-leading experts and vendors over the years.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband & I worked with Sara for our wedding this past July for month-of coordination, and it was a super easy, enjoyable, and fun experience. Sara was personally a joy to work with and we clicked quickly. She remembered every detail from our meetings, kept me organized, and tracked down vendors for answers which helped me immensely. She went above & beyond what I was expecting, and as someone who usually likes control over all of the details I trusted her immediately and knew we were in good hands. Day-of, she hustled so hard and executed on every detail we discussed, making our day worry and stress free. She has a great way with people – making sure everyone in our families knew what they were doing (wrangling 20 people) but in a personable, yet firm way! I will miss working with her, and would recommend her to absolutely anyone. V

With over five years of experience and more than 75 weddings captured, I’m here to ensure that the most important day of your life is documented with intention, heart, and artistry.

From the moment we first reached out to Hello Hana Photography, we were impressed by her friendly and incredibly helpful communication style. Hana went above and beyond to ensure our engagement pictures were beautiful and that we felt comfortable during the whole process. As an interracial couple, we were worried about finding a photographer who knew how to make us both look our best, but the engagement photos she took exceeded all expectations. Hana also provided vendor recommendations and made herself available for any questions, going far beyond just the photography aspect. The final photos were nothing short of amazing - we are overjoyed with the results and would recommend Hello Hana Photography to any couple looking for an exceptional photography experience. We can’t wait for our wedding day & to continue working with Hana!

  • Starts at $4,500

Hi! I'm Kayla - a traveling Milwaukee wedding photographer - and I'm going to make you cry. Wait, what? Don't worry, not in a bad way. Most of my couples say they cry when receiving their wedding photos from me for the first time. Five, ten, fifty years down the road when you open your wedding album, bet I'll get you again. You'll still be surrounded by your loved ones - remembering the happy tears and laughing until your belly hurts - just as you did on your wedding day.

Securing Kayla to capture our wedding day was easily one of the best decisions we made! We loved getting to know her and her work flow through our engagement photo session. Then on the day of, she brought an amazing energy! She worked efficiently to capture every special moment and even got in all the family pictures before some rainy weather hit! Her eye is incredible. We were blown away by her work. I can't recommend Kayla enough!

Hi, I’m Kelsey! I am a wedding photographer! I am obsessed with dogs. I will never not acknowledge a dog near me by saying “puppers”. It is what it is. I would 100% rather be on the beach somewhere with palm trees. I am constantly daydreaming about being in the tropics. I love the color black. If we work together, there is a high chance that will be my outfit color of choice.

Kelsey did our proposal shoot, engagement shoot, a random photoshoot we planned, and our wedding. She is so easy to work with and makes us feel so comfortable working with her. She goes above and beyond with her delivery of images too. She’s always given us more images than what we’ve paid for just because she enjoys the shoot so much and the images. You can tell she loves what she does through her work! She’s always timely with her shoots and delivery of images! She got us close to 100 preview images within a day of our wedding. We love working with her and highly recommend her!!!

Dominika Photographer

  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $4,700
  • Serves Milwaukee, WI

Hi, I'm Dominika. I'm happily married and a mama to two awesome daughters. I'm also a yogi and, admittedly, a wannabe Spaniard who would move back to Spain in a heartbeat to indulge in the simple pleasures of delicious tapas, red wine, cheese, and late dinners. Traveling and spending time with my little family brings my heart joy. Having lived and worked in Poland, Germany, Switzerland, Japan, Argentina, and Spain, has deeply inspired my will to explore more of the world and my style behind the lens to capture the essence of moments as they happen naturally and spontaneously.

If you don’t think you are photogenic, you will be after working with Dominika. Her personality is amazing, and she makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She knew how to capture the true love we have for each other. Right from the beginning we knew we selected the right photographer after our first meeting. We felt like we knew her for our entire life and felt confident she would capture all of our memories. The photos were stunning and were the best pictures we have ever had taken of the both of us. We also want to acknowledge Dominika’s second photographer for the day. Lottie was professional, friendly and worked very well with Dominika to meet both her and our vision of how our wedding photos would look. They were an amazing team and can say with confidence Dominika knows what she is doing. We look forward to working with her more beyond the wedding and would recommend that you do the same.

Katie works to take care of the details, allowing you to relax and focus on creating memories with your loved ones. Whether you are planning an intimate gathering or an extravagant affair, she can assist with weddings of all sizes.

Our wedding day was absolutely magical and we owe it all to Katie from Willow and Waylon Events. From the moment we met Katie, her commitment to perfection and attention to detail shone through every step of the way which spoke to my very type A personality. She truly made the whole experience stress-free by keeping us on a timeline, keeping track of all of our vendors and given that we both have very hectic work schedules on top of moving out of state prior to the wedding, she dealt with all of the vendors for us. Not to mention when one coordinator from one of our vendors was not meeting her standards, she took to initiative to rectify the situation by contacting the company and changing coordinators for us to ensure we had the best possible experience. She was with us every step of the way with multiple regular check-ins over the year of planning and was by my side through the wedding day as a calming presence to keep everyone on track. She was always available via zoom, phone or text. She thought of things we didn't know we needed to think about and helped to suggest vendors when we didn't know who to choose in our price point. Above all, she is such a kind and thoughtful human being and in general, lovely to work with. I can't give Katie and her company higher praise, I would not have been able to get through planning our wedding and wedding day without her.

Unique by Monique Weddings was created with you in mind. Details, no matter how big or small, are bound to slip through the cracks. Having a planner on-site can truly make all the difference on your big day! I have had the honor of working in the wedding industry for nearly 8 years now & have only recently branched off as an independent wedding planner. From your ceremony and reception to an engagement party or rehearsal dinner, let’s save you the stress & leave all the coordination to me!

We had the BEST experience with Monique. We decided to hire her as our day-of coordinator about 2 months prior to our wedding because the stress of decorating the venue and keeping a timeline for the day was just too much for me. Monique SAVED US and helped create the best day of our lives! Her knowledge of the industry was so helpful with figuring out the small, last minute details when we met up about 6 weeks before the wedding. Her communication was great and she knew exactly what to do when we reached a bump in the road when it came to our rehearsal. She managed running our rehearsal and her ability to (patiently) corral our bridal party in order to remain on task was very impressive. Our wedding day ran so smoothly and my husband and I were able to fully enjoy the day and it is all thanks to Monique! You can tell that she loves what she does and she makes your day just as important to her as it is to you. Look no further, because Monique is your girl!

Classy Girl Cupcakes was founded in 2009 when owner Erica Elia baked the cupcakes for her own wedding. They were such a hit that friends and family asked her to bake for their weddings and parties.

She built a website, rented a kitchen, catered 35 weddings her first year & went on to opening her dream bakery! Our dedicated staff give the utmost personal attention to our clients. Even though we cater many weddings, our goal is to inspire positive client relationships for a lifetime of cupcake-worthy celebrations.

Erica and her team at Classy Girl Cupcakes created the perfect wedding cake and cupcakes for our special day! From our first meeting, Erica was prompt, cheerful, and eager to bring my vision to life. She asked thoughtful questions to understand my style and preferences. Throughout the planning process, Erica was readily available to answer any questions I had. She provided design ideas that were creative yet tasteful. The end result was an exquisite two-tier cake and decorative cupcakes that fit our 08/03/2024 Carriage House wedding flawlessly. The cake was moist and flavorful, with elegant piping details. Erica's attention to detail ensured that every aspect was picture perfect. I would enthusiastically recommend Classy Girl Cupcakes to any bride looking to add a personal, delicious touch to their wedding.

KENDRICK WAS AMAZING. So was his help that came. He was incredible at rounding people up, directing the night, and most importantly…. Mixing music. I can’t recommend him and the company enough.

Naomi keeps the wedding day moving with gentle assertiveness and an artistic eye for special moments. We truly could not recommend Naomi more, so much so, that my Maid of Honor is now utilizing Naomi for her wedding, too! In summary, the photos are stunning and the person behind the lens is just as great.

Hey Beauts. My name is Gemma-Louise. I have been a bridal specialist for 7 years and am still as in love with it as I was on day 1. I don't have one particular vibe. I like all the vibes! I love working with brides who are open minded. Putting my own little twist into an upstyle is my fav thing to do. Making your hair not look exactly like the photo (cause that's already been done) is my jam. But I can absolutely recreate a look if that's what you want. Speak soon Beauts.

Working with Gemma was a dream. She was so sweet and kind. We did a trial that turned out amazing but I ended up slightly changing what I wanted to do day of and she executed my hair even better than I could have imagined! She made my girls look gorgeous as well.

The kind of person who loves to live life to the fullest and experience all the amazing things the world has to offer. The one who wants to be everyone’s best friend.

I cannot recommend Lyssa and Modern Sage enough. Having a day-of coordinator was one of the best planning decisions I made. Lyssa made the day run smoothly with no stress for me or my family. Our cake was delivered late and I didn’t even know or have to worry about it, she took care of it all. Not only that, the extra touches she made with our decor and setup, made our space look totally dreamy. Lyssa went way above and beyond our expectations and choosing her was one of the best things we did for our wedding!0

Hi, my name is Lucy! I'm a baker and decorator located in Downtown Milwaukee, and spend most of my time in the kitchen! I also come from a lineage of bakers, and most notably the "Cake Lady of Erie Pennsylvania" - being my great grandma. So, this is kind of in my genes. ​I've been baking professionally for over 7 years, and was hired to make my first wedding cake when I was just 16! I love being able to give clients something memorable for their weddings, events, or as gifts for their loved ones. Consistency and flexibility are the two main ingredients in making my clients come back for seconds!

Awarded Best of Zola
Lucy knocked it out of the park with cookies for a bachelorette party. Even on short notice without much direction, Lucy made cookies that were honestly too pretty to eat, but once we had one, they were too delicious to stop eating. Lucy was professional, quick, accommodating, and her cookies made for the best treat for the event. I will keep coming back to Lucy for future events, because her cookies are THAT beautiful and THAT good.

Hey, I’m Elizabeth “Libby” Haydin (yes my middle name is Sue) wife, mother, photographer, and puppy cuddler, and a lot more. Based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, I'd travel anywhere to capture a beautiful story. In 2016 I graduated with a degree in photography. At the time I was a 20 year old stay at home mom. I photographed my first wedding while planning my own and developed a passion for capturing love stories.

We love working with Libby Haydin. We’ve done many photo sessions with her. Our favorite thing about working with her is that, not only does she bring her own creative ideas, but she is open to suggestions on poses, etc that we might want to try. She loves what she does, and she wants to help you capture your memories that you can look back on for years to come. So when people ask for a Wedding Photographer, Libby Sue Photography is always the first one we suggest!

Hey! I'm Katrice. Photography has been my 'thing' for as long as I can remember. My father was a photographer. One of my earliest memories is a point and click film camera being placed in my hand. As I grew up photography began to mean so much more to me. It helps us remember. these little bits of time are captured forever. Seeing the joy on my friend's faces when I'd hand them prints after recent adventures was so meaningful to me. After college and the birth of my daughter I decided to dive in full time, and here we are. 7 years later & still learning and growing. I love it all.

Katrice was simply amazing. She was flexible and communicative. Her online portal is super easy to use. But most importantly, she captured the most incredible pictures of our wedding. She commanded the attention needed to wrangle a variety of people for formal photos, including an entire group shot, and got truly excellent candid photos. We could not be happier!

I have known Liz for quite literally, my entire life. I don’t say this to expose bias (though I certainly am), but I say this because Liz is who she always has been: organized, professional, and dedicated to craft. When I initially reached out to Liz to photograph my wedding, I told her we didn’t need getting ready photos, we just need ceremony, some pictures of us, and family photos, but being who she is, she went above and beyond. She was at the church just moments after I had arrived and was already hard at work creating detailed shots of my dress, accessories, and family who were arriving. She went above and beyond the call of duty and I was already impressed, as I knew I would be. Liz was so fun and easy to work with, and she excels at giving direction. We had talked about my vision a week prior to the date and Liz helped guide and execute it beautifully and in a way that was fun and put everyone at ease. She was flexible, but she knows how to get the shot you’re looking for. She’s well researched and equipped for your needs. Our day was magical, and the photos reflect that beautifully. I am over the moon with how stunning our photos turned out- I cannot emphasize enough how much they turned out exactly as I had envisioned. I will cherish them for a lifetime, and there was no one better for the job. I also cannot believe how affordable the price was for the quality of the service and photos themselves. Liz was also willing to drive hours to photograph our day with a reasonable fee. If you’re looking for a photographer to photograph your day, or really any occasion, I cannot recommend Liz at Wide Open Photography enough.

Hi! I'm Alex, a wedding photographer based out of Milwaukee, WI! I've been a photographer since 2017 and have fallen absolutely in love with capturing love stories! When I'm not behind the camera, you can likely find me traveling (I'm in Arizona a lot), snuggled up at home with my pups, or trying local coffee shops!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Alex as our wedding photographer, and I can't say enough wonderful things about her! From the moment we first met her, she radiated warmth and professionalism. Alex's talent behind the camera is truly remarkable. She has a unique ability to capture the most candid and heartwarming moments, turning them into stunning works of art. Her attention to detail is impeccable, and every photo she took seemed to tell a story. On the day of the wedding, Alex was an absolute joy to work with. She made everyone feel comfortable and at ease, and her positive energy was infectious. She was able to effortlessly blend into the background, capturing all the intimate moments without ever feeling intrusive. Not only is Alex incredibly talented, but she is also incredibly dedicated to her craft. She went above and beyond to ensure that we got the most beautiful wedding photos. She scouted out the perfect locations, worked tirelessly to capture the best lighting, and was willing to travel to us to get the shots we dreamed of. The final photos exceeded our expectations in every way. They were breathtakingly beautiful and brought tears to our eyes as we relived our special day through Alex's lens. She managed to capture the love, joy, and emotion of the day in every shot, and for that, we are forever grateful. If you're looking for a wedding or engagement photographer who is not only talented but also a pleasure to work with, Alex is the one. She is a true artist, and we feel so lucky to have had her as our photographer. Thank you, Alex, for capturing our day so beautifully!

Seriously, if you came across Nicole's information - look no further. You'll know from the very first interaction, this girl is fun, personable, caring and professional. She has a full blown process from start to finish, including providing printed style / informational guides, etc. For a type A bride like me, she was so thorough and basically did the thinking for me. For my, now husband, he wanted a photographer that would help him feel comfortable and give direction while photographing; she nailed it. When it came time for delivery, we were blown away. I've already referred her to several other people and she always over-delivers. We are so happy to have hired her and are thankful to have her as our go-to photographer from now on.

I've worked as an editor and videographer for the last 6 years of my life and filming weddings has allowed me to connect storytelling to a lifelong hobby and passion of mine; videography. In the off-season, I work for creative agencies, production houses, and all kinds of others as a videographer and editor. Follow me on Instagram to see some of my other commercial and creative work that I've had the pleasure of working on.

Brad was an absolute breeze to work with. Planning a wedding in 2020 was not easy, but you wouldn't have known that working with Brad. His communication was always on point and was there to answer every question. Not everyone decides to hire a videographer, but I would 100% recommend it. The outcome of his product left my husband and I speechless, not to mention brought tears to our eyes. Everyone always says the actually wedding day flies by, and truly it does. But having all of the video footage to go back and watch is something I can't put into words. Brad and team, I can't thank you enough!! So if you are on the fence of whether to hire a videographer or not, do it. I promise you won't regret it!

Hi! I grew up in NY and came to Milwaukee 8 years ago - you could say it was for love. We have settled in and embraced our new community. I have been so lucky to always have working with people at the forefront of everything I do. From teaching to non profit work, photography allows me to do all of those things. I LOVE being outside and exploring new places. We live on the shores of Lake Michigan and visit the beach regularly year round. When I am not frolicking and photographing amazing people, I am usually spending time with my nutty little family outside.

It’s been over a month after my wedding and I’m still wondering if it is acceptable to love you wedding photographer more then your husband??? I can not speak more highly of Chelsea! When we first met I knew it was meant to be, her passion for capturing love and telling a love story just pours out of her. When looking for a wedding photographer we wanted someone who was easy going, professional, fun to work with, and loved love as much of us, Chelsea blew these “requirements” out of the water. Not only is she an amazing, kind, caring person but her work is is equally amazing. We love that her photos are edited in a natural way and that she captures all of the small natural moments. Nothing every seemed forced! My husband and I highly recommend Chelsea Matson Photographer! We are so grateful that she came into our lives (for good now) and could capture the most important day of our lives.
