Colleen is absolutely wonderful to work with. She is clearly very passionate about what she does, and it shows in her work and while you work with her. Colleen took the time to get to know my husband and I over zoom and during our engagement shoot, and she made us feel so comfortable taking photos. On our wedding day, she worked so well with the entire wedding party. We had so much fun working with her! My entire wedding party has nothing but great things to say about her as well as her assistant, Jamie. All of our pictures came out beautifully, and Colleen helped to curate a book for us after the wedding. We’re so happy to have a keepsake to forever remember our wedding day.

Alex & Jeremy were the BEST. I cannot believe the number of compliments I received from friends and family who were at the wedding. They were the most professional and interacted with our guests all night long. During the day, we moved through our timeline so smoothly but never felt rushed in my special moments with my husband. We laughed, we cried, we danced- every moment was captured by them and we are so thankful! I was hoping that the weather would cooperate for some golden hour portraits- not only did Jeremy get the most BEAUTIFUL golden hour photos but he grabbed us just as the sun came peaking out of the clouds and got a few photos of us with my veil in the wind. I am OBSESSED with both sets of these portraits. I’ve already recommended OLAS to friends and family who are getting married. They were the best vendor I could have asked for to capture our special day!

Lindsay Stayton Photography LLC 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Forest Junction, WI

Lindsay Stayton began her career in the photography industry in 2008. Her first gig was photographing The Worlds Largest Music Festival, Summerfest. In 2010, Lindsay was asked to photographed her first wedding after a couple stated "If you can photograph Flava Flave, then you can most definitely photograph our wedding!" Most couples have requested Lindsay to continue capturing life’s candid moments for their growing families, which led to her tag line: “Your Family Historian”. Lindsay has a distinct and unique style which captures real human emotion and candid moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
It’s honestly hard to capture in words just how incredible Lindsay is—not only as a photographer, but as a person. From the moment we first connected with her, it was clear she didn’t just see her role as “taking pictures.” She understood what our day was truly about: love, connection, and community. That perspective came through in every single interaction and every single image. When we were prioritizing our wedding budget, we knew photography would be at the very top. We decided to skip a videographer and planner and crossed our fingers that the photos would tell our story in the way we dreamed. Choosing Lindsay was without a doubt the best decision we could have made. Her talent, dedication, and passion shine through in a way that makes it clear she should never be considered “just another vendor.” She is a true artist, and worth every single penny. One of the biggest reasons we chose Lindsay was the diversity of couples she showcased in her portfolio. It meant so much to see ourselves reflected in her work, and it reassured us that she could capture the beauty, uniqueness, and authenticity of every couple’s love story. From start to finish, Lindsay gave us everything we could have asked for and then more. She guided us through engagement photos that were stunning and full of personality, and then on our wedding day, she showed up prepared, energized, and completely present. She not only took photos—she kept the day flowing. She helped us plan the timing of the schedule, moved groups seamlessly for portraits, and brought a sense of calm and confidence that allowed us to simply enjoy being in the moment. She even connected us with other vendors, showing how much she genuinely cares about her couples’ experiences beyond just the photos. And the photos themselves? Breathtaking. They are stunning, timeless, endearing, and true to the moment. She captured the big, emotional highlights of the day while also finding those in-between moments we didn’t even realize were happening—moments that make the memories so much richer. Our family and friends have been floored, with so many saying things like, “I never thought I could look that good in a picture” or “I can’t believe she managed to capture me actually smiling!” Lindsay has a gift for seeing people as they are and reflecting back their truest, most joyful selves. Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the day in the most beautiful way possible. These are the images we will share with family for years to come. Lindsay didn’t just document our wedding—she became part of the story, and the photos she gave us are part of our family history now. That’s why we know we’ll be returning to her for all of our future photography needs. She isn’t just a photographer; she’s a family historian, and we couldn’t be more grateful that she was the one to capture this chapter of our lives.

He is highly detailed oriented which is a must for somebody like me who really notices all the little details. He went above and beyond by traveling to our engagement shooting location all the way in Madison, WI! When it came to shooting the big day, Erik orchestrated everything perfectly including calming me down during a stressful moment, making us all laugh, and capturing all the "good angles". From the first few photos I received, his work made me feel absolutely beautiful. When I shared with others, the first thing they commented was: "Wow, Your photographer KILLED it with the wedding photos!" Extremely high quality editing....Erik is worth every penny and I would highly recommend him to anyone!

I am the heart and soul behind Dakota Layne Photo. Based in western Wisconsin, my love for photography started as a seven-year-old girl as the flower girl in a family wedding and has now become an extension of who I am. I approach my clients from a place of empathy - understanding who they are, what is important to them, and how I can bring their story to life in a significant and meaningful way.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the moment I inquired with Dakota, she was prompt. We instantly jumped on a call and we literally talked for a hour! I instantly knew she was going to be our photographer! Throughout the planning process, she consistently reached out to check in. Her thoughtful and uplifting voice messages were such a light midst the stresses of wedding planning. I would get so excited when I saw her name pop up on my phone, her bubbly personality and genuine care in her messages meant everything to us!! Our engagement photo day was a scorcher--95 degrees and pure sun!! But Dakota made the absolute best of it, even as we took breaks to cool down. Despite the sweat and crazy heat, our photos turned our magazine worthy--seriously stunning!! In the weeks leading up to the wedding she checked in almost daily, which was so reassuring. Her online website and questionnaire were very thorough and incredibly helpful. At one point, I even called her to vent about a difficult wedding situation (that had nothing to do with her), and she listened and reassured me through it all! She is truly a wedding industry professional!! On our wedding day, her presence was incredibly pleasant and everything flowed perfect. We fell a bit behind due to hair and makeup, and she continued to reassure me that we would be just fine. Her photography style is absolutely stunning, with great attention to detail that captured every important moment for us. We received our sneak peeks just a day or two after the wedding which was one of my favorite memories ever!!-- getting to reminisce on the stunning photos with my now husband on our first day of our honeymoon. It meant the world to us! The full gallery was delivered within the timeframe discussed in our contract as promised, I even had a few questions about different angles and additional photos and she delivered on all of my requests. Her gallery website was very easy to use and share. Overall we had a 1000/10 experience with having Dakota as our wedding photographer. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer, but she is also so personable and was one of the best decisions and investments we have ever made! When it is your special day, you want to be surrounded by the absolute best, and that is Dakota!!
