From the moment we booked Picture This Photography Studios, we knew we were in good hands. Ryan and his team were responsive, professional, and easy-going throughout the entire process.

Emily Kettner Photography

Appleton, WI
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,000

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.

My husband and I recently got married this summer and had Emily Kettner as our photographer. We absolutely loved working with Emily through from the initial booking to our final gallery. She is flexible, organized, patient, timely, creative, professional and simply a joy to work with. On the day of our wedding she did a great job helping us stay on track with our timeline and was very efficient. We are thrilled with the beautiful photos we received after both our engagement photos and our wedding gallery! We have received countless compliments on our beautiful photos and Emily’s light and bright style which we loved from the start. Highly highly recommend! Much love for Emily Kettner Photography!

That’s the Exceptional difference.

Awarded Best of Zola
This is your DJ. Without a doubt one of the best decisions my husband and I made when planning our wedding was hiring Exceptional Entertainment. We worked with Joe, and he was very communicative. He was the vendor we met with the most, and even though that may sound excessive for a DJ, it really isn't. The DJ is the life of the party for a wedding, so it's 100% worth it to invest the time & money into it if you and your guests want to have a great night. Joe did a phenomenal job with the transitions and kept people out on the dance floor. We also had their Photo Booth services and it was a hit with the guests. The picture quality was great and guests could get a copy sent to their phones immediately after. Another cool add-on they offer are their cold spark machines. If you're looking for an alternative to the sparkler exit, these have the same affect in wedding photos but less of the chaos of having to organize and manage all of your guests with sparklers. They were beautiful and definitely added a "wow factor" to the night. Overall, it truly was the best night of my life and I have Joe to thank for playing such a vital part to that. (P.S. if this wasn't enough to help convince you, three of my wedding guests actually booked with Exceptional Entertainment soon after for their own weddings because of how much fun they had!)

I'm a Wisconsin-based photographer with a love for storytelling, genuine connection and finding magic in the in-between moments. I’m fueled by tacos, crispy Diet Coke, and golden hour magic. I believe your wedding day should feel like you—and your photos should, too. I photograph couples who don’t mind a little dirt on their dress or wind in their hair if it means chasing golden light. Couples who care more about being present than being perfect. This isn’t just about pretty photos—it’s about capturing your story in a way that feels like you, and having a dang good time doing it.

Kati is a phenomenal photographer! We felt at ease and like ourselves while she captured the magic of our most special day so beautifully. Kati and Chris did an exceptional job keeping track of desired photos and the schedule without making us feel rushed. We can't stop reliving our perfect day through Kati's lens!

  • Cinematic style
  • Starts at $1,900
  • Serves Appleton, WI

John, the owner and lead videographer, understands the importance of preserving this important time in your life. He is very passionate about telling compelling stories through cinematic story telling.

TLDR: John is fantastic and you’d be a fool not the invest in the quality works he provides. This review is a long time coming. As my wedding day approached I found myself frantic in trying to decide who I wanted to film my wedding. I myself am a photographer of modest means and critical eye, and so this search was grueling. Frassetto films appeared before me in a search of desperation and I tunneled through the varied pieces of perfect art on his website before deciding to reach out to John. John was quick to respond and had a natural ease to him which took me from frantic to focused. He’s a people person to say the least. To this day he and I interact with each others work. As the wedding day approached it was clear that John was a professional. He had laid out an exceptionally organized format that actually helped us in a variety of ways beyond shooting the wedding. On the wedding day he greeted me with a winning smile and a motivated attitude. He got along great with my photographer (Ken Cravillion) and the chemistry fed off each other. This entire experience was a money shot and I really can’t say enough good things about John. There is so much more to him than a simple website visit and a modest review by me could possibly encompass, but I hope I did you justice in this John. Thank you again for helping to make my wedding perfect. -Cory
