We were married 02.25.2023 and had IG Photo Video do our engagement shoot, wedding day photography, and wedding day videography. I can't begin to express how grateful I am that we chose to work IG Photo Video! They are an absolutely amazing team that is friendly, outstandingly talented, and entirely dedicated to making your day perfect. Our experience was that they go above and beyond. During our engagement shoot, Ivan spent extra time with us during a crazy heat wave to capture some amazing photos in downtown Chicago. We also requested to receive a few photos from our wedding early to include in our thank yous and the team was quick to provide them to us! They also were able to include our wedding songs in our wedding video, which was both fun and touching. Aside from the dedication this team has, they are also incredibly skilled. Their photos are timeless and beautiful. Ivan and his team give great direction for posed photos and also captured stunning candid photos during our wedding day. If you take a look at their gallery, the photos this team takes speak for themselves. You will absolutely be making the right decision to go with this group as your photographers and/or videographers. We can’t recommend them 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.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kelsey was so easy and fun to work with. She had so many great ideas for different photos and was so easy to communicate with. Our wedding and engagement pictures turned out way better than I could have ever asked for. Would definitely recommend to anyone who needs engagement, wedding or even family photos done.

Lauren was amazing from our first conversation all the way til the end. As an interracial couple, I was drawn to her photos featuring diverse couples. I loved that Lauren talked about having experience and taking a course dedicated to the lighting/ensuring different skin tones look great in photos (she used professional photographer words but this was over a year ago now haha!) I told her about my insecurities and she ensured me that I would look beautiful and suggested different poses etc that would highlight the features that I wanted. She was on time and took charge of the timeline to keep us on track which I greatly appreciated. The photos are amazing; I can’t decide which is my favorite because it changes every day! I cannot recommend LAR photography enough. Definitely the smoothest vendor of the day. Thank you Lauren!!!

Natalie was fantastic from beginning to end! We had already signed a contract with another photographer as well as placed a deposit. We saw Natalie at our best friends' wedding and loved how she blended into the crowd while still making sure she got every shot. Once we saw the final portfolio from our friends, we knew we had to make the switch. It was the best decision we made. Finding vendors can be extremely overwhelming, especially being a same sex couple. Natalie made the entire experience so much better. We thoroughly enjoyed her company just as much as her photography expertise. We will be using her for any family photos we need taken in the future. 10/10 recommend!

As a small boy, I would sit for hours watching my mother hand-color portraits for a local photographer, during the cold winter months, by a fire in our family room. From there I began taking my own pictures with my first box camera. Fast forward to a restless twenty-something working as a microbiologist, taking weddings and portraits on weekends. Eventually I graduated college with an M.A. in Photography and started out in Chicago, assisting numerous photographers, shooting everything from oranges to weddings. I have been fortunate to have worked all over the world. Photography is more than a job, it’s an avocation, a passion, it's what I do.

My husband and I are SO thankful for the amazing service we had on our wedding night. Thomas went above and beyond the entire night and fulfilled all of our needs. He had an amazing upbeat personality and was a great addition to our special night. All of our pictures came out absolutely beautiful. Thank upu for everything Thomas!!

Mark Malec Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Salem, WI

Mark Malec Photography is a wedding company located in West Bend, Wisconsin. Mark and Beth Malec, the owners of the company, aim to get to know each couple they work with prior to the wedding day in order to become more familiar with each couple's photographic needs and desires. This husband-and-wife team focuses on maintaining open communication throughout the planning process in order to provide accessible and transparent services. The company encourages couples to remain present and mindful on their wedding day, which enables Mark and Beth to capture genuine and natural images.

Where do we even begin? Starting with our engagement shoot, Mark and Beth made us feel so comfortable, and were so good at capturing the way we feel about each other. They have a great eye for what will make a good shot and we’re super attentive to details. They made the shoot so fun and we ended up with a great mix of formal shots and more fun/spicy shots. We had originally planned to just do our engagement shoot with them, as we were getting married out of state but when we got the proofs back, there was no question about paying the travel cost to have them capture our wedding day. They were totally on top of the planning process and really let us be creative with the shots that we wanted and what the day was going to look like. They were there for us every step of the way, and will make you feel like you can handle anything your crazy aunt or creepy family friend is going to throw your way on your day - they’ve seen it all and they play defense for you. Wedding day rolls around and they’re in full on production mode. When I say that I didn’t have to worry about a single thing on the wedding day, I mean it. They had our schedule, kept us on track, and most importantly, they kept us relaxed. I cannot stress enough how special it was to have them both there to get both angles of all of the moments - it’s not something you really think about until you see how special it is to have both sides of the first looks, walking down the aisle, and the first kiss. As my husband and I talked about the day on our way to our honeymoon a few days later, we agreed that choosing Mark and Beth was by far the greatest decision we made for our day. We loved them, and they gave us the most precious memories to cherish for ever. Their work speaks for itself, there’s no question about that, but I think the most important thing they bring is the passion they have for what they do, and I think that’s what made us trust them as much as we did. We really could not have asked for a better pair to work with, and every one in our family LOVED them. If there was any recommendation I had for future brides, it’s to let Mark and Beth be your people.

We're born and raised in Wisconsin, but there are pieces of our hearts in both Colorado and California, the two places where we have traveled the most together. We specialize in couples who are madly in love and who have a sense of humor. We prefer to tell your story, rather than make another generic love story. We want to capture raw emotions. We want you to giggle and we want you to dance.

Couldn’t recommend Katie + Devin DeGroot enough. My fiance (now husband) surprised me and found Katie to shoot our surprise engagement and the photos captured how we were feeling and the excitement of our whole family. She was so professional (and hid in plain site so well!), we knew it was a no-brainer to ask her to shoot our engagement + wedding. We aren’t used to having our photo taken but Katie made us feel comfortable and went with the flow, even when our dog was being crazy :) Leading up to the wedding, the communication from the DeGroot team was clear and friendly. The online portal was easy to navigate with our invoices, contracts, and even Questionnaires that allowed us to organize which photos we wanted / where, etc. Due to COVID, we had to adjust our wedding twice: once with moving the date and once with the location to an entirely different city. I was fearful to tell our vendors but Katie couldn't have handled the switch any better than she did. This put us at ease and gave us one less thing to worry about. She worked with our Wedding Coordinator to finalize details, times, etc.. Day of, Katie + Devin were a dream team. Working with so many personalities of our friends and family is no easy feat but they worked as if they could read my mind. Their associate was professional and a great sport, working in the cold November air to shoot photos after the ceremony! They knew when /where to be and how to capture the day flawlessly and were a great team to work with! Thank you, thank you, thank you DeGroot team! 110% recommended!

Hi! Welcome. My name is Makena a late-twenties photographer in the greater Milwaukee Area! When not photographing people or pets (@thegooddogphotography), I am photographing homes for real estate (yes – I know what you’re thinking… “Boring!” but hey, sometimes it’s nice to photograph things that don’t move or run away from you.) But in my actual free time, I am editing photos, hanging with my mini-family, going to F45, or crashing my neighbor's pool. I am a family, newborn, portrait, and branding photographer. But honestly, I love what I do so much that I can shoot whatever you’re looking for, just inquire!

Awarded Best of Zola
We had Makena as our wedding photographer for our November wedding. She was absolutely amazing to work with! It has taken me a little bit to write a review because there's a million things I could write about and narrowing it down was a task. First, she was more than willing to meet with us well before the wedding to go over what to expect because we were in the dark about the whole wedding process so knowing what we needed to tell a photographer was new to us. She went above and beyond. As a bride I was a little stressed that day and she helped me in everyway. She gave advice, was so generous as to go and receive something I needed, even went to check on things and communicated things for me. I never would have expected that but it honestly helped me out tremendously and actually was a main point to helping the wedding go so smoothly. My husband and I aren't exactly comfortable taking pictures and I was nervous because I wouldn't know how we were suppose to pose or anything like that. Makena made us feel comfortable and directed us for the photos, which took away any nervousness. She was so warm and friendly. We even had a lot of comments from our guests about how nice she was. Our pictures came out amazing. She gave us a sneak peak the morning after which was so awesome to get to show off. The pictures came back at a more than reasonable time and I was very impressed by them. Her work is amazing and she is just a great person all around. Anyone would be lucky to get to work with her. We look forward to working with her for any other photoshoots we have in the future and recommend her to everyone we can. Thank you Makena for all that you did for us. We are so lucky!

I want to capture all those candid, in-between, beautiful, genuine moments that are more meaningful in every single way. I want to capture both the silent and still moments and also the inevitable dance-off that is bound to happen now that all your old class-mates are together again. Essentially, what I really want to give you is something more. What I really want to give you is something to look at it years from now that triggers those goosebumps, those tears of joy, those bouts of laughter and has you truly remembering how this day felt.

“Natalie was an AMAZING photographer for our wedding! I would and have recommended her to all of my friends, and have seen her work several other weddings as well. She is incredibly professional and worked tirelessly all day for our big event, even pitching in with help setting up and tearing down. At the same time she had my bridesmaids and I laughing all day and was truly part of the joyful experience of our big day. Our photos were available soon after the wedding and each and every one of them was truly beautiful. Natalie knows how to capture the essence and personality of the couples she works with, and my hubby and I will treasure our wedding photos for the rest of our lives!”

After beginning in 35mm film and practicing the art of photography on the side all my life, I took a severance package over a change in position when my corporate job was being downsized. That was 2017, and I have only earned my living through a lens since then. Bills, pandemics and doubters - be damned. I am still here, and I am here for you.

My husband and I have so many great things to say about Kevin, where should we begin?? I guess it is important to note that we booked Kevin for our wedding/elopement EIGHT days in advance-not much time at all. With it being such a last minute online booking, we weren’t sure what to expect when it came to quality or price. Boy, were we happy with what we got! Kevin arrived early, had a great positive attitude, and went with the flow for the day. He was well prepared with lots of equipment and ideas and we could clearly see his knowledge with photography and getting a beautiful shot. Oh, and to top it off, we were sent some previews/proofs SO quickly-we were not expecting it. It was amazing to be able to share a professional photo so quickly with our friends/family who were not at the elopement ceremony. To wrap it up…if you want a photographer that is timely, pleasant to work/communicate with, doesn’t cost an arm and a leg, and takes amazing pictures-look no further and book Kevin for your event!! We are so happy we did.

Why do I take photos? Well I’m glad you asked! When I was a teenager I was thrown from one of my horses and lost my long term memory. Thankfully my father was into photography and I notice that looking back at family photos helped to trigger my memory! With the fear of hitting my head and potentially loosing my memory again, I started taking photography classes and was obsessive about taking photos. Whenever I take photos for a client I remember how important it was to my recovery to have images of my life.

Elyse is the best. She is great with directing you into the perfect pose, always making sure you are show your best self. Her photography is natural and bright. I chose her for all our family photos and business photos because her editing and photography is timeless. She is great at getting everyone's attention and keeps things moving. Friendly, personable, reliable, basically every positive word describes Elyse and her photography! It's always hard to pick favorites when we get our galleries!

It should be about using everything at that moment to produce something unique...ultimately, it's about dragging your client towards something bigger and better than they expect. It's about giving them experiences and photographs that belong on rock albums and movie posters!

The quality of his work was stellar - they captured the most beautiful, artistic, and detail-oriented photos that we will treasure forever. They were able to get us our fully edited photos the same night, which was incredibly impressive. The best example is, the stunning family photo they took of my husband, daughter, and I - it's now my new favorite of the three of us and I can't stop looking at it. He also took incredible shots of my husband and I throughout the day that I'm so grateful to have. Plus, he made the whole experience easy and fun! We had a great time getting our pictures taken together for a first look before the ceremony. The value he provided was unbeatable, and we'll absolutely be using him again in the future.

Sarah was incredibly helpful in figuring out what I wanted for my engagement photos and making them possible. She was easy to work with and flexible with what my fiancé and I were looking for in our photos. Sarah came up with some fun ideas that really worked with our personalities, which made this a fun experience! She genuinely cared about our comfort and making us feel natural with getting our photos taken. When I struggled to give an authentic smile, Sarah would do something silly to get me to give a real, genuine smile. It was a great experience and I would recommend her to anyone looking for wedding photos to be done, especially if you hate getting your photos taken like myself! She is by far the best photographer I have had the pleasure to work with!

More than a decade ago, two sisters - knew there had to be a better way to allow talented photographers and videographers to focus on what they do best -- create gorgeous art -- while providing couples with better support in the planning process. Together, they created an all-inclusive, stress-free environment where couples can choose from talented local photographers and videographers and work with a small team of planning experts equipped and eager to make everything a success. With the pressure gone, you can truly enjoy your big day. Relax and rest assured that all the emotional and moments will be documented with unmatched quality.

From the moment we booked Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. as our photographers, we knew we were in good hands. Their communication throughout the planning process was incredibly helpful, reliable, and reciprocal - they made us feel comfortable and supported every step of the way. On the day of our wedding, our photographers were diligent, supportive, and truly inspiring. They helped us feel at ease and captured all the special moments beautifully, including the gorgeous dip and flowing dress photos during our Cocktail Hour couple's session. The final photos and videos were flawlessly edited and exceeded our expectations. We are so grateful to the Once Like a Spark team for helping make our wedding day vision come to life, and we would highly recommend them to any couple looking for personable, talented, and dedicated photographers and videographers.
