Puneet S Ghai Photography 

5.0

Whitefish Bay, WI
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,500

My photography business was born in sunny San Diego, but a new adventure has led me to the midwest! I currently live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with my wife, our two cats, Nesta and Zinnia, and our dog, Clementine. I studied Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior at UC Davis and went on to my Masters at UCSD in Healthcare Administration. Through all of this professional development, photography has been my constant and my creative outlet. I have been capturing moments for the past six years. To me, photography is a practice and a ritual. I am inspired by emotion, movement and adventure. I can't wait to meet you and capture your adventures.

Not sure if you'd call our wedding "weird" or "unconventional" but we certainly had our fair share of odd moments. We were originally worried about hiring any photographer just because we didn't know how well we'd be able to communicate every little oddity our community would throw at us on our day especially since there were bound to be surprises. Then comes Puneet. The smile on his face always reminding us that this was our day, his kind words telling us we were doing great, he rolled with everything we threw at him and got so many amazing pictures. Pretty sure we even got him on the dance floor once. As my mom-in-law said afterwards "It's so great that you found a photographer who just instantly felt like part of the family. Thank you Puneet. It would not have been the same without you.

We bundled for photo, video, and DJ services and these guys were phenomenal! They made sure our wedding was not just a ceremony but a celebration. Every detail was double-checked with us, ensuring everything ran smoothly. The music was absolutely spot-on, creating the perfect vibe for each part of our special day. Our dance floor was never empty - they had a knack for playing tunes that got everyone, from our little niece to my grandad, up and dancing! Our guests are still talking about how great the music and the super fun photobooth were. The photo & video team captured every laugh, tear, and crazy dance move. Their professionalism and creativity were evident in every shot. They were like ninjas – present at every moment yet never intrusive. We were blown away by the quality of the photos and videos. Each one tells a beautiful story of our day. The coordination between the DJ and the photo/video team was seamless. It felt like they were all working in perfect harmony, making our day a dream come true. Both teams were not only skilled in their crafts but also incredibly friendly and approachable, making us and our guests feel totally at ease. In short, if you're planning a wedding and want a team that's organized, friendly, and ridiculously talented, look no further. Huge thanks to Enclave Light and Sound and Ward 3 Media team for making our wedding day absolutely unforgettable!

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.

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!

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!

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

A DJ will make or break a party and Milwaukee Underground Productions MADE OUR PARTY! Prior to our wedding day, we were convinced our friends and families would be avoiding the dance floor, opting for card games or the bar but, to my utter shock, there wasn’t a single song we didn't have a group dancing the entire evening. Chris Troka listened to us, who we are as a couple, who our guests would be and absolutely nailed it. He played a wide variety of songs that had everyone from my younger brother to our grandparents entertained. Chris’s set up was so sleek and looked very professional, from the up-lighting to the DJ booth. He was professional, funny, and a great DJ/MC.

We booked Veronica as our month of planner and she truly went above and beyond. She made her resources available to us immediately after booking her, which was still 1 year to go from our wedding date. We both felt so comfortable with her. We were never afraid to ask questions or bring up concerns. The month leading up to the wedding I truly was not stressed at all.

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.

Kayla exceeded every expectation, and I couldn’t recommend her enough. From the moment we started working together, I knew she understood the vibe and would be able to bring my vision to life. Starting with our engagement photos that were like something from a magazine, to capturing stunning candid moments that told the story of our wedding day perfectly. She went above and beyond, even to blow-dry my dress after we got caught in an unexpected downpour, making what could have been a stressful moment feel manageable and even fun. She read me so well throughout the day, knowing exactly when I needed a quiet moment to myself versus when I was ready for portraits. Her attention to detail, kindness, and genuine care made her an invaluable part of our celebration, and her work is something we’ll treasure forever. We hope to continue to work with Kayla to capture future milestones!

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.

If we work together, there is a high chance that will be my outfit color of choice.

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.

The Best Place at Pabst was so easy to work with, affordable, flexible drink packages, lots of fun amenities, natural atmosphere and decor means you don’t need to do much decorating of your own, I could go on and on. Our guests could not stop raving about how unique, intimate and lovely the space was. We used the Blue Ribbon Hall which included a balcony space which we used to give our guests the opportunity to play classic WI card games; Euchre, Sheepshead, cribbage etc… It was a great, separate space to hang out but still be a part of the celebration and watch the dancing. The staff even accommodated our last minute request to play the Bucks playoff game on the projector during dinner!

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!

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.

The Sugar Maple is a one-of-a-kind venue that gave us the most memorable wedding experience imaginable. Adrienne created a cozy, intimate space in the backroom that was simply breathtaking. We said our vows there, surrounded by friends and family with beers in hand. The reception, held in the bar area, was lined with her incredible artwork—one of which now hangs proudly in our home. The beer experience at the Sugar Maple was unmatched. The care and creativity infused into every detail, from Adrienne’s striking poppy artwork to the unique beer pairings, made the venue truly magical. As the night went on, the beer kept flowing, laughter filled the air, and the dance floor came alive. Our guests raved about the unforgettable beer, the artful setting, and the warm, intimate vibe that the Sugar Maple delivered. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that combines artistry, craft beer, and heart, the Sugar Maple is beyond perfect. We’re forever grateful to Adrienne and her team for giving us such a magical, personal, and beer-filled day! Cheers!

I had the pleasure of hiring Danielle to create the most stunning and unforgettable wedding flowers for my special day. From the initial consultation to the final installation, Danielle was nothing short of amazing. Her creativity and attention to detail were truly impressive. She brought my vision to life, crafting beautiful centerpieces, bouquets, boutonnieres, and adding touches throughout the venue that were absolutely breathtaking. The attention to detail was incredible, and I couldn't be happier with the final result. The quality of her work was exceptional, with each flower carefully selected and arranged to create a cohesive and stunning look. Danielle was also incredibly flexible and accommodating, working with me to ensure that every aspect of my wedding flowers was tailored to my specific needs and preferences. What truly set Danielle apart, however, was her ability to add those extra special touches that made my wedding truly unforgettable. From the way she transformed the venue into a beautiful setting to the thoughtful details that added a personal touch to each arrangement, Danielle truly understood the importance of creating a memorable and romantic atmosphere. In short, I would highly recommend Danielle to anyone looking for a talented, creative, and professional florist. Danielle’s dedication to her craft is evident in every detail, and I would no doubt utilize her for any floral needs in the future! Thank you again for making my wedding day so unforgettable!

Life gets celebrated around food! Together, we can create a menu and setting that will reflect the love for you and your loved one. ​ At Antigua, we love what we do! And what better place to show our love for food and service than at your wedding. Let our award-winning team help you take care of the reception details so that you can enjoy your family and friends.

I can confidently say Antigua made our wedding day absolutely perfect. My wife and I knew we wanted food that was not only delicious but also unique and memorable. From the moment we sat down for our tasting, we knew Antigua was the right choice. First off, the food was next level. Seriously, people are still texting us about the empanadas and the cotija cheese mashed potatoes. It was this incredible mix of authentic Latin flavors with a sophisticated, modern twist. They worked with us to create a menu that matched our vibe perfectly. I mean, we’re talking about food that had my dad going back for seconds (and thirds) — and he’s usually super picky. But what really blew us away was how much the Antigua team cared. They weren’t just there to cater; they went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly. The staff was so professional, friendly, and on top of it. It’s like they genuinely wanted us to have the best day ever, and they delivered. The setup was gorgeous. Their team transformed the venue into this warm, vibrant space that felt so us. They even helped us incorporate some personal touches — like a late-night churro station (game changer). If you’re looking for a catering team that feels more like family, Antigua is IT. They made our wedding feel like the best party Milwaukee has ever seen, and we couldn’t be happier. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. Antigua Catering, you guys crushed it. Thank you for everything! Ethan R. P.S The Chimi

Blush By Brittany Airbrush Makeup Artist

  • Beauty professional
  • Starts at $340
  • Serves Whitefish Bay, WI

I LOVE what I do! I received my Aesthetics degree from Vici Park, an Aveda Institute in 2006 in Milwaukee, WI. Makeup artistry has been a career that I’ve always wanted to advance in. I started out a salon in 2006 and knew after 11 months that I was meant to be a business owner. I saw a need from brides to have makeup services on location in their own home or hotel and thus Blush by Brittany was created. I am going to make you look like You!

Brittany was great! She did my whole wedding party and moms makeup (9 total) in a timely manner and even finished ahead of schedule. She is great at bringing out your natural features without overdoing it, everyone looked gorgeous! She has a comfortable presence to her as well which is calming on your wedding day!

Holy cow, Lyssa rocks, hire her now before she books up! I'll be honest, I was skeptical about needing a planner for our wedding ("ours isn't a crazy extraganza, how much do they do?"), but now I can't imagine how anyone does it without one. Now for the details you probably care about: - Lyssa is responsive & helpful - we had numerous big wrenches thrown at us during wedding planning (venue got sold, etc.) and Lyssa was ready for our panicked call, talked us through options and making us confident things would be O.K. - Lyssa is fun - I know that's not top of the list, but you spend a lot of time interacting with your planner, so it helps if you enjoy it. - We hired her to be planner & day of coordinator. We also went with her extra packages where she handles the majority of floral & decor. Having the same person do the day-of was so helpful, because she already knew everything that was going on & had helped us create timelines that were realistic. - Lyssa (especially if helping with decor) helps you fit your vision into your budget. She's a regular at all the craft stores & FB marketplace around Milwaukee and knows all their deals - if we had bought the exact same stuff ourselves without Lyssa handling it, I bet we would have paid 3x as much for the decor we used. We already recommended Lyssa to a couple friends, so we'd recommend her to you as well. P.S: her husband is a great D.J., so you potentially just checked off finding 2 vendors at once. :D
