Our experience with Taylor and Yan from Sounds Originals was phenomenal. They went above and beyond to ensure every significant moment was captured with creativity and precision. The end results were nothing short of spectacular. The photos were high-quality, with stunning clarity and perfect lighting. Each shot was framed beautifully and told a story of its own. They were punctual, well-prepared, and adaptable to the changing dynamics of the event. For example, when we were behind our schedule for our couple's picture, Taylor suggested a great idea of finishing our sections during the cocktail time. Taylor's approachable and engaging manner made the photo sessions enjoyable and stress-free for us. She was really helpful with guiding us with posing when we didn't know what to do. The video footage was crystal clear, with smooth transitions and impeccable editing. Overall, I would highly recommend Taylor and Yan from Sounds Originals to anyone in need of an exceptional photographer/videographer. Their passion for their craft is evident in every shot and frame, making them a joy to work with.

Steve Bowman Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,000
  • Serves Merton, WI

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!

An Artist at the core and a Connection for life. My Wife found Steve through countless searches of different photographers. Upon an exhausting search she/we struck gold! I will forever recommend Steve to others and like a barber I will never find a new one to replace the perfectionism of life that Steve captures. Hes a perfect fit! It all started with a beautiful engagement shoot filled with creativity, laughs, professionalism, stories, and shared interests. Steve made us feel comfortable and confident to be taking photos. We had a few ideas but were happy to let the photographer guide us through the process. After all he is the professional. Through out the wedding Steve made guests feel comfortable, iconic, and look like rock stars. our photos turned out so beautiful. Like a ninja and wizard Steve lurked in the shadows and appeared when most needed. He graciously helped me get ready when I was a nervous wreck in the groom room. With his personality, camera set up, and knowledge there is no doubt in my mind that a session with him, wedding, engagement, family photos, is something worth more than money or pictures can buy. It’s a true experience.

Three: Seventeen Photography Llc

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Merton, 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.

Natalie made Nate and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She helped direct us as to what would look good with the lighting and setting. She also was open to taking our ideas and implementing them. It was a great experience.

Either way, I'll be behind the lens, not missing a beat. When you look through the photos memories will come to life and it'll be as though you're right there doing it all over again.

I’m Yeri (pronounced yeh-dee), and I’m a photographer based out of a city right in between Chicago and Milwaukee (best of both worlds, if you ask me!). I’m a total extrovert, a big time hugger and totally not your typical show-up-to-a-shoot-and-leave-right-away type of girl. From the moment you inquire, to even after our work together is done, I got your back! We’ll have coffee together (or if it’s an old fashioned, even better!), we’ll talk, we’ll plan and find out how I could best serve you.

Yeri Photo Co. was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. Their communication throughout the entire process was consistent, fun, and professional - putting us at ease every step of the way. The quality of their work was simply spectacular, capturing the true essence of our special day with an unparalleled attention to detail. Yeri Photo Co. brought an incredible energy that made our wedding day photography feel less serious and more fun, allowing our personalities to shine through in the most beautiful photos. We could not have asked for a better photography team, and we would highly recommend them to any couple looking for the best wedding photos.

From the moment they arrived, they brought such a calm, encouraging energy that instantly made us feel comfortable. They captured every detail, every emotion, and every moment we didn’t even realize we’d want to remember. Our photos are absolutely breathtaking!!! They somehow managed to be everywhere at once without ever feeling intrusive. The candid shots, the portraits, the tiny in-between moments… all of it feels like a perfect retelling of our day. We will genuinely treasure these photos forever. If you’re looking for someone who is talented, professional, kind, and truly invested in your vision, definitely go with Heather & Andrew!

Awarded Best of Zola
TWA Photographic Artists were straightforward and direct in their communication, and kept us on schedule throughout our wedding day. Their work was great, capturing many timeless and detailed shots. However, at times they seemed a bit hurried when working with our wedding party and guests, though they remained attentive and eager to get the right shots. For example, the photographer remembered the little details that made our photos special, but we felt a bit rushed after the ceremony and didn't fully capture the joy of those moments. Overall, TWA provided solid photography services, but could have been a bit more patient and attuned to our desired pace for the day.
