Wedding planning for us is extremely daunting but it was so easy to pick Chris and Madeline. They were there when they needed us. When our mother wasn't able to make it, they drive 45 mins the next day when we met with her in the hospital. They are both so accommodating and one of them is always there for you. They come prepared and will help you through the ups and downs of your day. Looking at other wedding photos I had always thought I will never be able to do that; I was overthink it way too much! They were able to get us amazing pictures both for our engagement session and wedding. They are more than your day of photographers; they are your partner in planning. If we had any questions they would shows us or give us examples of our options and work with us to make it perfect.

She consistently put me at ease talking with her leading up to our wedding day. We had an amazing engagement session and an absolutely perfect wedding day. She was quick, efficient, and got all of the shots I was hoping for. She was such a bright energy throughout our day and I honestly could not have asked for a better person to capture our day.

Three: Seventeen Photography Llc

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Salem, WI

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.

I worked with Three: Seventeen Photography LLC in 2019 on what was the hottest and rainiest days of the year. The original wedding was supposed to take place in an outside portion of the venue but had to be switched very quickly due to heat and severe storms. As a wedding planner it is always great to have vendors like Three: Seventeen Photography be able to pivot and work with the changes at hand. Not only did they step up when needed, they also worked on finding alternative photography locations on the spot due to the weather. They are professional and provided excellent service to the happy couple and I would recommend them to any future couple in need of a top quality photographer.

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.

Bella Luz Photography was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. From the very beginning, their communication was excellent - they were highly professional, skilled, and insightful in understanding our vision. On the day of the wedding, they captured every moment with a fantastic, artistic eye, providing incredible value through their visual storytelling. Kevin, the lead photographer, was wonderful to work with and we highly recommend Bella Luz Photography to any couple looking for exceptional wedding photos that will beautifully preserve the memories of their special day.

Welcome! I'm Steve! Creativity should be about showing you the usual things unusually. 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!

Steve Bowman Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, his communication was quick, informative, and friendly. 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.

  • Serves Salem, WI

I've been passionate about documenting and creating since I was a little girl running wild in the suburbs of St. Paul. I would steal my parent's film camera and take dozens (okay maybe hundreds) of blurry photos of our dog. In high school, I spent babysitting money on a polaroid and then finally my beloved point and shoot, which was my favorite accessory for a night out! I was gifted my first DSLR in my early twenties, and that changed the way I looked at the role photography played in my life. What was always a beloved hobby became my passion, and I've never been happier.

Bonnie documented our wedding Oct '22, and we could not have asked for a better experience. Communication and planning leading up to the event was timely, clear and simple. Her cool, calm manner made us all feel at ease and the candids that Bonnie grabbed between moments are some of our favorite shots. My husband and I are not particularly comfortable in front of a lens, but we love the way she was able to capture our personalities on camera. We are so grateful to have had Bonnie at our wedding, and would highly recommend her services.

Chettara T. Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Salem, WI

I’m addicted to capturing who you are and your tale as it unfolds (the photojournalistic approach gives me life). I can occasionally be found sipping on bubble tea while indulging in Doctor Who, Sherlock, or Merlin marathons. Being diagnosed with Lupus at 16, I had to give up my ultimate goal of being a pilot in the Air Force. After my first year of Law School, I felt a bit empty and sat down to take a serious look at my life. I never saw it as a career path and pretty much wrote it off until 2016. I'm extremely blessed to be able to work with so many amazing people. Full: www.chettaratphotography.com/about

We were married on 11.18 and Chettara shot our wedding. She was able to capture every moment with sheer perfection. As someone who hated having pictures taken, I was very nervous about being in front of the camera!!! She is able to work her magic ensuring that everyone feels comfortable in front of the camera. I cannot stress enough how amazing her work is! From the colors, lighting, her humor to make everyone comfortable, the time she invests in ensuring your vision comes to life, and her attention to detail are amazing! I promise you, you will not regret going to Chettara!

I grew my business after a desperate venture as a newspaper photographer over six years living with student loan debt in my father's basement. But, that soon changed... And in 2014 I had the opportunity to work with some of the best wedding photographers in the state line as a second photographer having 20 weddings that first year. It was brand new to me, it stirred a passion, and I realized I wanted to do this for a living. I found my calling, but that first year was rough, until...

Erik was a total pleasure to work with! He made my day perfect! I could not be happier and cannot wait to see the pictures! 10/10 recommend!!

I started Ampersand Photography in 2022, but I’m not new to the scene. I’ve been in the wedding photography industry for 8 years as a second shooter and offering limited packages on my own. I also offer family portraits, head shots, milestone sessions, boudoir, senior portraits and more. I love audiobooks, potatoes in all forms (including raw), playing games, peanut butter, ice cream, dogs, and truly just being around people. I love listening to others' stories. I love grandparents. I love people, genuinely.

From the initial consult, to the delivery of our Gallery, Sam was the superhero needed to keep things going smoothly. If you’re looking for a photographer who has skills in getting to know who you really are, making sure your personality is as much in the photos as you are, going above and beyond to help things go smoothly, take care of things you didn’t even know needed to be done, and show up in whatever way helps you while getting the job done: you’ve found her. I could not possibly say enough that would capture how great of an experience it was to work with Sam; the professionalism, care, and attention to details are as equally prevalent in her practice as her positive attitude, genuine helpfulness, and kind spirit. That is to say, Sam is everything you could want in a photographer, and everything you need to make sure it’s done with the utmost precision and skill.

Danielle is absolutely amazing! She is everything you'd want in a wedding photographer and more. We went with Danielle for both our engagement and wedding photos, and I couldn't have asked for better pictures. We received our wedding sneak peeks the same weekend, and it was amazing to see her work with such a quick turnaround. She is creative, great to work with, easy to communicate with, and does an excellent job of organizing big groups and making everyone feel comfortable. I would recommend Danielle over and over again for any event!

Hi, I'm Makenna, and I’m a Wedding + Lifestyle Photographer based in the Madison Metropolitan area! I am a midwest gal, born and raised, currently residing in Stoughton, WI. Most days you can find me hanging out with my best friend and husband, Chris, our daughter Scottie, and our dog, Sky. Other than my family and photography, I’m most passionate about music, dance and the arts in general. I’m also interested in clean skin care and beauty, sustainable fashion, supporting small businesses, and meeting/getting to know new people! I would love to get to know you more as a couple, and to photograph your wedding day!

I can't say enough good things about Makenna Smith Photography! There are so many things to love! We've worked with her three separate times and each time she absolutely exceeds our expectations! She is so incredibly talented. One of the times we worked with her was when she was just beginning her photography business and the finished product was absolutely stunning - we still get compliments today on our photos and I love to tell people that she was just getting started at the time. We love to brag about her! Her attention to detail and organizational skills during the planning process is so much appreciated. She helped answer all planning questions, assisted us with finding vendors and was so great at communicating with us and with our other vendors. Even though she had other clients, I always felt like the top priority. On the day of the wedding, Makenna is so helpful at keeping things going. She leads when she needs to but she's flexible and goes with the flow when things don't go as planned. She always makes it a priority to check in with the couple to see if they are having fun, doing okay, and enjoying the day. She's so selfless and does whatever it takes to make the day amazing for the couple. She goes above and beyond in everything she does - she is so much more than a photographer. Aside from being a great professional, Makenna is a wonderful person and her energy and heart shines through in everything she does. This is her passion. She loves capturing special moments and I'm so thankful she agreed to capture ours!
