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.

Awarded Best of Zola
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.

I am a person who breathes art in all forms. Visual art, music, behavioral and conceptual. The process of creation has always provided me with great satisfaction and being able to combine the creative process with a service that can bring joy to so many people is tremendously fulfilling.

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!

XOXO by Sara

Milwaukee, WI
  • Planner

  • 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

She brought the greatest second photographer, Morgan, & they were both a wonderful addition to our day. Their personalities make you feel like they’re fun, sweet guests and not just another vendor.

Dominika Photographer 

5.0

  • 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.

Going back and reliving our wedding through Dominika's photos has been the best way to get over those post wedding blues. Besides capturing the most beautiful photos that we will treasure forever, she was incredibly wonderful to work with and an all around amazing person who I will miss calling/texting/emailing with! When we changed our wedding venue, a month and a half before the wedding, Dom immediately offered to go look at the new venue with me and was such a calming presence through a very stressful process. She really is the best and I’m so happy to have these beautiful memories!

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.

We worked with Katie for our wedding and we could not recommend her enough. We were unsure about incorporating a coordinator in our budget and I’m so glad we did. My partner and I both said it was the best decision we made. Katie was always timely and reliable with communication. During our planning calls, she brought up things that I never would have thought of which helped our day run smoothly. She always had patience with my many questions. She helped us personalize our day to be representative of us as a couple, highlighting what was important to us. She helped with communication and follow up with vendors which alleviated some of the stress and “to do” items leading up to the wedding. Katie was incredibly helpful with running our rehearsal, ensuring that our family and friends knew what to do and had their questions answered as well. Our day ran so smoothly and I’m sure there was much Katie helped with behind the scenes that made that happen. She helped with set up and take down of decorations, always made sure we had a drink if we wanted one, and was the go-to person for everyone’s questions which took a lot of stress of off me and allowed us to enjoy our day. We highly recommend you adding Katie to your team and I know you’d be in great hands.

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. An entrepreneur at heart, Erica realized how much she loved baking and needed a creative outlet to balance her career as a lawyer. 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.

  • Starts at $2,900

I'm a photographer based in Milwaukee, WI. I WILL travel the world to capture your special moments. I've dedicated myself to specializing in natural light, lifestyle wedding and portrait photography, and capturing my clients' true personalities in my images.

McKenna was present (surprise to me!) at the proposal and caught our pictures perfectly (especially as I felt I was not prepared to be camera ready that day). She captured the event beautifully but also kept her space at such an intimate moment and then delivered the images quickly with edits. Of course we used McKenna for our engagement pictures as well (and she'll be there for the wedding). Our engagement shoot was a blast! We felt comfortable taking professional pictures in a public setting and McKenna knew exactly what she was doing from location to poses to making sure she captured a moment and a smile, and not feeling too staged. Again, with a quick turnaround on lovely, fun edited images. Honestly, before taking/seeing our pictures I had no idea what "style" of pictures meant but I quickly learned I love McKenna's use of light, color and nature. The pictures are truly timeless for years to come. McKenna is professional with communication, scheduling, making you feel comfortable on site and then returning the finished product in a timely manner.

I am so glad that we worked with Lyssa and Modern Sage for their day of coordination services. We started planning our wedding on our own as we had a good idea of what we wanted, but working with Lyssa made the planning process easier as I didn't have to take the time to look up recommendations on things like how much to tip vendors, I could just reach out to Lyssa. We hired Lyssa because we didn't want to have to worry about anything the day of the wedding, but I couldn't imagine how much of a difference having her involved would make. She helped with so many little things during the event that I just didn't have to think twice about anything other than enjoying my wedding and spending time with our guests. From making sure everything was set up for the ceremony and making sure we both always had a drink or whatever else we possibly needed, to saving some of the passed appetizers for us to enjoy and putting together an incredible video for us after the wedding, Lyssa did it all and so much more. Whether you are looking for a wedding planner or just someone to help with the details day of, I highly recommend working with Lyssa and Modern Sage as she will run with whatever you ask her to do and will make sure you can be in the moment and not worrying about the details.

Consistency and flexibility are the two main ingredients in making my clients come back for seconds!

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!

Have you ever met someone who all of the sudden, seems like your best friend? Hi, I'm Nicole your new best friend.

I'll bring an optimistic energy to any wedding day. If you're someone who is more excited about marrying your best friend, than the wedding day itself, then you might be a #nicolemirocouple.

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.

Chelsea Ann Bell Photography was established in 2016 with the passion to capture the essence of the most special moments that life can bring. Photographs have this ability to bring us back in time, to trigger a certain emotional response that can allow us to remember the most special moments shared with our most special people. Chelsea Ann Bell Photography is honored to capture these moments.

As a florist, I enjoy working with Chealsea as she has an artistic edge to her photography. We have been vendors on two weddings in a year and one was published in Premiere Bridal magazine! Love getting the photography back to show off to potential brides and when they bring in your own work you giggle inside knowing that was a great shot!

Chelsea Matson Photography

Milwaukee, WI
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,600

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.

Chelsea is an absolute dream! She has an incredible eye and captures the big moments, but also the intimate and special moments throughout the day. Her photos are stunning and so so special, as she really gets to know you and your family. Chelsea will find the beauty in and celebrate what is special about/unique to you as a couple, and the results show that. She is so kind, easy and fun to work with, and was a real support throughout our whole planning process. Especially since we got married during the pandemic we had a lot of questions and unique hoops to jump through. Chelsea was always willing to talk through details (even those not photo-related!), share suggestions, etc. throughout our planning process. The day of Chelsea was a joy to have around and her positive energy and willingness to do whatever it took for the perfect shot (including walking backwards for several blocks during our mariachi band parade through the streets) is unmatched. I recommend Chelsea Matson Photography to any and everyone- you will not be disappointed!

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!

Hi loves, I'm Sarah! I'm a destination wedding photographer and mother of two... CATS! I'm a big dreamer, romantic and creator, so you can only imagine how much I love what I do and sharing my passion with the couples I meet. I'm all about documenting authentic moments and getting to learn your love story. Because of how much I travel, I personally only take on a number of weddings per year as I'm very intentional with the work I do! If I'm not personally available, I have a team and they're amazing! So, if you love my style and don't mind working with my team the day of your wedding, the option is always there for you.

Sarah did an amazing job from the get go. She showed up earlier then she said she would and got some great shots I didn't even know she was taking. She was around for the entire night and captured the essence of our wedding. We are so happy with our pictures and the quality of work provided by Sarah. The turnaround time for the pictures was less then two months even though the contract says up to three (we got lucky!). We love them and are so appreciative of the memories.

I don’t even know where to start with Liz. I was in a bad situation with a photographer & Liz stepped in LITERALLY 5 days before my wedding and offered her services. With little prep time she was able to go above & beyond what I could have ever wanted in a photographer. It rained the entire day of my wedding & she remained so positive & never once made us feel overwhelmed or rushed. Her work is phenomenal, I have never felt more beautiful in photos than I do in the ones Liz took of me in my wedding dress. I would highly recommend her for any wedding!

We’re obsessed with the craft of smoked meat. Our certified humanely-raised meats are dry rubbed, slow smoked, and sauced by you. In some cases, we began smoking your meat yesterday to ensure you get the perfect quality barbecue. We smoke our meats in small batches, all-day, every-day. In some cases, we sell out when items are in high demand, but sit back, savor a bourbon or two, and try something new. We’re certain that you’ll enjoy our variety!

Awarded Best of Zola
We have been fans of The Smoke Shack for years as a go to for some great BBQ food in downtown Milwaukee. When we wanted to have a more casual dinner buffet for our wedding we thought what could be better than BBQ! Smoke Shack was great when we went in for a tasting. If memory serves the tasting was free unlike a lot of other caterers and the pricing was comparable. We had a COVID wedding and had to make some last minute changes (8 days before the wedding) because our venue could no longer accommodate us. No problem! Smoke Shack just updated the location and adjusted their plan and delivered as promised. The food was great and the guests were asking for more. Highly recommend the KC Egg Rolls if you are going to get any appetizers! Thank you Smoke Shack!
