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.

  • Serves Waukesha, WI

Hello!!! My name is Olive and I am SO excited for you! I am a wedding and couples photographer in South East Wisconsin with a passion for putting your beautiful selves into photos. A bit about myself, I am a free spirit and have a romantic soul and am run by lists, organization and tradition. I love Jesus, flowers (ESPECIALLY lilacs which are my favorite, but peonies follow as a close second), coffee and my chickens. When I'm not doing anything photography related, you can find me in my garden, playing my violin, listening to music, shooting archery, going to car shows with my grandpa, baking and of course caring for my wonderful chickens.

We LOVE working with Olive! She has provided both private family & wedding day photography services for us. Even for those who are a bit uncomfortable being in front of the camera, her communication leading up to our shoots as well as during the event put everyone at ease & resulted in many beautiful memories. Olive captured the big moments as well as the seemingly small details through her creative lens leading to one of a kind photos which both reflect us personally & are truly a piece of art. As small business owners ourselves in the Wedding Industry, we recognize Olive's talent, professional work ethic & creative mind, amazingly even at a young age. We would highly recommend Olive Azalea Photography for your Wedding Day or any of your photography needs & look forward to working with her again ourselves!

My name is Sarah Hamer, your future wedding photographer! I'm a hopeless romantic who works tirelessly to create beautiful artwork, starring you & your unique love story! Here at Hamer Visuals we don’t JUST create stunning images, we create epic memories to last a lifetime—from your engagement to your wedding and everything to follow! More often than not, my couples become lifelong clients, giving me the opportunity to watch their families grow as their love deepens for one another…. & THAT is why I do what do! Documenting your love story is the blessing of a lifetime. One, I hope to share with you!

As someone who hates getting her photo taken by anyone, Sarah Hamer made getting my photo taken super fun and super easy. 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!

Hi! I’m Connie! First of all congrats!🍾 ✨Thank you for visiting my profile and considering me as your photographer! I am so excited for your big day! Here are some things you might wanna know! I’m not typical photog- I don’t just arrive on your day, leave after few hours, and deliver few months later! I’m there for all the moments leading to the big day! You can hit me up any time- we can brainstorm all the ideas, timelines, all the tiniest details! I am a fan of Pinterest vision boards, sending each other tons of messages and be open about EVERYTHING! This is your day! Let’s make it all about YOU!

All I can say is Connie is hands down so much more than a photographer. She was so patient, kind, and positive when we had our elopement. We got down pour rain and she was quick to have plans to take us to get beautiful pictures. She was so thoughtful with doing things she didn’t have to do, like helping hold my wet dress, and so much more. Connie is extremely calming presence in a stressful and hectic day. We absolutely loved our pictures and all the special moments she captured without us realizing and was truly so special working with her!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Awarded Best of Zola
We loved Isaac and his wife, Jing, who photographed our wedding earlier this month. Isaac was super calm and collected and on top of everything. His photography style was perfect for us. He already delivered about half of our retouched photos a week after the wedding which was insane and I love every single one. He was flexible with the 5 flower girls we had in and out of pictures and the multiple areas on our venue property. Overall an amazing experience and I recommend his work to anyone and everyone looking. He was very considerate when I first reached out about his work and wanted to use him and was very mindful of his travel fees to fit in our budget.

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.

Hello! We are a husband and wife company. We have covered over 1000 weddings in less than 5 years all across the USA, Canada, and Mexico. We love to travel so much that we keep our prices affordable- giving us the opportunity to cover all over the USA (no travel fees). Our most popular package is our Red Carpet which gives our clients up to 10 hours of photo and video coverage, 505+ edits, and 2 wedding videos (with the whole ceremony). Check out our FB or Youtube for HUNDREDS of weddings we shot in the past.

We were so impressed by 505 media and their quick responses and quality of photo/video they took! From the initial phases of planning, they were quick to respond and eager to help in the planning process of making sure timelines were manageable. They were able to capture all of the milestones during the day and were even willing to hop on our party bus when we wanted footage of the wedding party driving around! We were so impressed by how quick the photos were delivered! We received a text while on our honeymoon the week after our wedding that our edited photos were done and one week later we received all our pictures! You don’t hear that often from photography companies! We also watched our wedding video trailer today (which was delivered in less than 2 months from our wedding) and can’t stop watching it! I would recommend 505 media to anyone!!

I love photographing real moments of people in love. With me, I work hard for you to feel comfortable to be yourselves, so that I can capture the most creative, endearing swoon-worthy moments. My style is a mix of candid and editorial, and while I'll make certain to grab those mandatories with fam, the majority of your photos will be captured "moments" — especially between the bridal couple. My editorial-style wedding photography and engagement photos will capture those moments, those details, those looks you gave one another, that you may forget about 20 or 50 years from now, but will be able smile upon when you look at your wedding photos.

Not only is Emily an absolute DREAM to work with, she is an AMAZING talent. Cannot recommend her enough & will be doing exactly that to all clients looking for incredible photos to remember their big day.

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.

We are so beyond thankful that we went with Kayla to photograph our wedding. Throughout our engagement shoot and the wedding day- watching her work is truly incredible. She is a master and finding little moments that bring absolute magic to her photos. Never did we feel like we were doing cheesy poses on our wedding day, and the photos reflect that. We have been looking through our sneak peek pictures obsessively because they instantly bring us back to our wedding day. Throughout which, Kayla was the calm amid the chaos. She was so focused on helping us stay on time and navigating us from one task to the next. It was such a comfort knowing that she had our backs and was ensuring that we got all of the big (and small) moments we had discussed leading up to the day. We can’t wait to see the rest of our photos. We know that choosing her as our photographer was one of absolute best decisions for our entire process - from engagement to wedding day. If her pictures haven’t already convinced you- let this be your sign! You want this one.

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!

My approach to photography is rooted in a desire to illustrate the emotions and stories of my clients in a way that reflects the honesty of their experiences. I adore capturing the uniqueness of each person I work with. It is by encouraging my clients to honor their story, their truest selves are reflected in these photographs.

Coming from 10+ years in venue management & wedding planning I've seen my share of photographers weekend after weekend. Let me tell you - it takes a special kind of photographer to have all the right skill set to be a good wedding photographer. Lauren is beyond that, she's great. She's personable, caring, professional, artistic, and can give you direction (this is huge) while capturing you, your mate, and your family. Her portraits are out of this world and her style is brilliant. She's in my top 5 of all time.

Hey there! Since you are trusting me to capture these special moments in your life, I figured you should probably know a bit about me, right? I am a Huntsville, Alabama native, but moved to Nashville after graduating from the University of Alabama in 2013. ROLL TIDE! Although I consider Nashville home, I am anything but a homebody. I love traveling and exploring new places (especially the food at those places!). I even studied abroad in Italy, which let me tell you, was a food lover's dream. I have always felt like an old soul trapped in a millennial’s body. I would rather listen to Frank Sinatra than anything on the radio today.

PLEASE READ - IT'S A LOT BUT YOU SHOULD REALLY KNOW: Diana is BEYOND incredible. When you book with her, you are booking so much more than just a photographer. Her soul is so unique and personable. I did not have a wedding planner as I am so picky and wanted to embrace it all on my own - and with Diana I was in fact NOT alone. Any minor or major inconvenience she was there to help me figure it out. I gained such a beautiful personal relationship with her, and I am so happy to say we are friends for life since we had our first phone call. I "spoke" with 3 different photographers, and Diana was the only one that provided information over a call - but also took time to for us to get to know each other and understand mine and my husband's vision. Her laugh is infectious, and her work is palpable. I could write for days about how awesome she is.

We are so happy we chose Lucia to capture our elopement. Lucia is professional, fast to respond to emails and texts, helpful with decisions, accommodating to any requests, concerns, and excited to give advice. Duncan and I really wanted our photographer to capture our true emotion and to get candids of us, and Lucia DID THAT! The day felt blissful and a key point for us was that we got to enjoy the day without it feeling solely like a photoshoot which I think speaks to Lucias talent and confidence in her craft. She was good at giving guiding advice for posing without us feeling posed. I put together a Pinterest board and shot list which she really did a great job pulling inspiration from. The photos are stunning and the exact style we envisioned. Also, our sneak peak was huge and she got them to us very fast. If you are torn between photographers or are just starting your research, you're in very safe hands to stop here. We hope to continue reaching out to Lucia in the future when we start a family.

I was that kid enchanted by Disney Princess movies and the idea of "true love". My true love revealed itself through photography. At 8, I grabbed my dad's camera and was hooked, thrilled to show people my world. I started with zoo animals, friends, and siblings, eager to freeze moments in time. As I grew, I learned from local photographers and knew by 17 that photography was my calling. Since then, I’ve captured love in all its forms: couples, new parents, best friends, and the joy of seeing your favorite band live. The world is full of magical firsts, and I'm honored to capture these moments forever.

She’s very personable and wants YOU to enjoy the pictures wholeheartedly. We have done 2 sessions so far and she will do my wedding in November. I have loved every single shoot/picture and I highly recommend Tylar for ALL of your photoshoot needs she’s seriously the best!

Jenni and her team did a phenomenal job capturing our wedding day. We felt so comfortable from the moment we first met with her and that definitely translated to how easy it felt taking direction from her for our wedding day photos. Her team took time to get to know us and figure out what we were comfortable with so it felt natural (we're not the most comfortable in front of the camera but somehow she figured out how to get those sweet in the moment shots without it feeling forced!). The photos turned out stunning. From the formal portraits to our mountain top vows to the sweetest candids she captured of me and my dad and my adorable nieces and nephews there’s seriously so many amazing photos to choose from. I also appreciated how organized she was with our formal portrait list keeping it quick and everyone ready to move through those as soon as possible. Cannot recommend her enough. Thank you so much Jenni! We absolutely could not dream of better photos!

Essi Photography

  • Starts at $3,900
  • Serves Waukesha, WI for additional fees

Chicago-based wedding and elopement photographer. I like to make my clients take off their shoes or at least get bare and honest about their love in front of my camera. I love to explore the urban environment with you and make your wedding portraits feel real and true to your life in the city. But I also take any chance I get to drag you to the woods or the beach for some barefoot wedding portraits. Aren’t we so lucky to have those right here in the city!

Essi Photography was an absolute joy to work with on our wedding day. From our first interaction, her communication was intimate, responsive, and understanding of our vision. The quality of her work was creative in the way she could capture small moments throughout the day. Our photos are everything we wanted them to be, documenting all the special moments and candid photos of our loved ones that we will cherish forever. Essi played a huge role in making our wedding day so special, and we cannot recommend her highly enough.

I am a documentary photographer that specializes in weddings & couples. I make sure that you are staying in the moment during our session instead of it feeling like a photoshoot the whole time. I love to have fun and get you guys moving around! I use more prompts than stiff posing because it really helps my couples focus on each other and simply have fun! Laughing and having a good time always = better photos

I've worked several ceremonies with Charlee. I always sigh in relief when I see that a couple has chosen her because I know they will be in great hands. Charlee is a true professional! She is easy to work with, friendly, guests and family enjoy working with her, as do other vendors such as myself. She always has a cheery smile as she slips through your guests, catching those little unplanned moments that make for beautiful memories. Watching her work, I see her easygoing style relaxes people rather than having them give fake photo smiles and check their watches for when they're done with photos. Her ability to make friends with your guests and bridal party translates directly into the beautiful shots you'll have to remember your special day for the rest of your lives. My clients have all loved working with her, and are quick to recommend her to their friends and family too. Charlee will be a great choice for your beautiful day too!

  • Editorial style

  • Serves Waukesha, WI for additional fees

I am a Chicago-based wedding + elopement photographer. I am available worldwide and love to travel! I document genuine moments for couples, no matter who they love. My images are the perfect mix of posed and photojournalistic, giving you gorgeous portraits without missing the important, candid moments you will want to remember for years to come. My approach to wedding days is simple: I want to make sure you have images of you two that you love and cherish and tell your wedding day story.

When I say I truly couldn’t be more grateful I found Tawny to capture all of the amazing moments for my husband and me, I mean it with my whole heart! Her thoughtfulness, kindness and general support and hype was everything and more we were looking for in a photographer. From engagement shoot, to boudoir, to wedding day, then post wedding portraits, she was always making sure we looked, but most importantly, felt our best! I’m forever grateful I found her!
