The Landing at the Lone Girl was the perfect venue for our wedding. From the moment we first reached out, the team was incredibly timely, kind, understanding, flexible, and eager to make our day special. The space itself has a beautiful, slightly rustic-but not too much, casual elegance that we loved. They put up all of our decorations for us, and even provided giant Connect Four for the kids to play with - little touches that went a long way. Caleb, the event coordinator, was a great communicator and made us feel so welcomed, even letting us bring our big dog to the wedding. We could not have asked for a better experience or a more perfect venue. Highly recommend!

My name is Elliot Stokes and I am a photographer located in the Madison, WI area, but I work all across Wisconsin and Illinois. I have been drawn to the camera since I was young, but becoming a father has really shown me the magic behind capturing the most candid and beautiful moments of our lives. I started my journey into professional photography officially in the summer of 2019 and received my Bachelors of Fine Arts degree with honors in Digital Photography in the spring of 2022. I absolutely love what I do and look forward to every new experience and opportunity this journey takes me on!

Awarded Best of Zola
Elliot was amazing to work with for our engagement photos and wedding photos. He showed up on time and was ready to go. He was very easy to work with and came prepared with everything. He gave us a 30 minute warning before his time was up and asked if we wanted any other specific photos. He gave direction and guided us through our wedding photos. He was flexible when our wedding timeline needed to be adjusted. He did a great job with delivering our sneak peak photos within 2 days of our engagement photos and wedding photos. I am so in love with our wedding sneak peaks. I can't wait to see the rest of them. I cannot recommend him enough. I will definitely work with him again in the future!

This is probably going to be long because I can’t say enough good things about 10south. I got married on 9/6/2025 and it was the most incredible day ever. First, Audrey was our event coordinator and she did such a phenomenal job. I was probably the most annoying person with all my questions but she always got back to me so quickly and helped me out so so much. She made sure my vision would come to life. It was also amazing to have the ability to book our djs through them as well as some other add ons so we didn’t have to search (will be reviewing the djs on their page but wow they were great as well!!) The venue has the largest bridal suite out of all the venues I have seen (ones I toured and for weddings I’ve been a part of) which made getting ready feel so much less stressful. We had plenty of space to set up food and all the hair and makeup equipment we needed. The patio is a dream. We had our ceremony outside which was absolutely gorgeous. We then turned it into an area for cocktail hour which worked out amazing because it was so large for the amount of people we had. Of course the reception area is also amazing. The bar staff did incredible, I don’t think anyone had to wait in line for long at all. And it really helped having 2 bars during cocktail hour (Poppy is just adorable). Everything was magical, thanks to the 10south team and the way the venue is set up. I highly highly recommend getting married here!

I first met Dusti in January 2024, and the minute I met her, we clicked and I knew she was the perfect person to plan and execute our Un-Wedded Bliss Bash in October 2024. We sat down for a couple of hours to get to know each other and understand what we were looking for for our celebration. She first helped us locate the perfect venue to host the vibe and vision we wanted. Once that was complete. Dusti went to work to create our vision board that guided all of our choices and decisions to create the perfect evening. She is incredibly talented and creative and we fell in love with the elements she put forth. Then it was on to finding all of the vendors. Dusti has so much experience with so many vendors and she made our selection process smooth and stress free. The vendors she selected with us were perfect and she ensured they provided exactly what we wanted to make our dream come true. If she was ever stressed about anything she never showed it… always as cool and calm as a cucumber! Dusti has great communication skills and always kept me informed of where things stood or what might be needed. And when the big day came….she created the event space that was absolutely stunning! She coordinated all of the vendors, kept them all informed on the run of the show and expertly managed the entire preparation. She is so attentive to details and one step ahead of me.. always. I never had to worry about a thing. I cried when I saw the event space come to life. She and Sam took great care of us that evening, ensuring we had food or anything else we needed. I can’t say enough about her kindness, talent and expertise. All of our guests raved about the entire evening—-and we have Dusti and Indigo Moon Events to thank for that. Not only is she tremendous at what she does, I now call her my friend. I couldn’t imagine having done this without her. There wasn’t a thing I would change!

Where do I even begin. Pat was ABSOLUTELY amazing. We met with Pat before signing with Koru Ceremony and knew after that short meeting she would be the one to marry us (I even canceled my other appointments with other officiants). Pat took time to get to know us, who we were individually and as a couple and created a ceremony that was absolutely us. When we first got our script for approval, I cried. We also received so many compliments after the ceremony on how great it was executed. We couldn't have asked for a better day and Pat started the afternoon with a beautiful ceremony, one we could have only dreamed of.

DJ KJ absolutely killed it!!! We had a unique multi floor venue where sound was needing in more than one place and he did an amazing job making it work. We had some small hiccups with speeches/ the microphones but I think that was more of us not knowing how close to hold the mic while we speak. There were a few changes throughout the day on my part and KJ was amazing at adapting and pivoting to what I was wanting. As far as announcing goes, he did a fantastic job with names and bringing the energy. As the night went on, he truly read our crowd and figured out what songs our group enjoyed and he did an amazing job at that. We got raving reviews from all of our guests about how great the DJ was. Thank you for making our day even more special!!! Highly recommend!!!

I would highly recommend Ironworks Hotel for both your ceremony and reception! My husband and I got married in September 2023. From the beginning of planning our wedding all the way to the end of our wedding day Maria and the staff were so helpful. During our wedding day the staff lit our candles, handled moving our cakes and desserts around, and assisted with making sure everyone got down the aisle and was where they were supposed to be. The food, staff, and venue were AMAZING and so helpful throughout the entire process. They highly contributed to making our big day as amazing as it was!

Hi, I'm Makenna, and I’m a Wedding + Lifestyle Photographer based in the Madison Metropolitan area! I am a midwest gal, born and raised, currently residing in Stoughton, WI. Most days you can find me hanging out with my best friend and husband, Chris, our daughter Scottie, and our dog, Sky. Other than my family and photography, I’m most passionate about music, dance and the arts in general. I’m also interested in clean skin care and beauty, sustainable fashion, supporting small businesses, and meeting/getting to know new people! I would love to get to know you more as a couple, and to photograph your wedding day!

I can't say enough good things about Makenna Smith Photography! There are so many things to love! We've worked with her three separate times and each time she absolutely exceeds our expectations! She is so incredibly talented. One of the times we worked with her was when she was just beginning her photography business and the finished product was absolutely stunning - we still get compliments today on our photos and I love to tell people that she was just getting started at the time. We love to brag about her! Her attention to detail and organizational skills during the planning process is so much appreciated. She helped answer all planning questions, assisted us with finding vendors and was so great at communicating with us and with our other vendors. Even though she had other clients, I always felt like the top priority. On the day of the wedding, Makenna is so helpful at keeping things going. She leads when she needs to but she's flexible and goes with the flow when things don't go as planned. She always makes it a priority to check in with the couple to see if they are having fun, doing okay, and enjoying the day. She's so selfless and does whatever it takes to make the day amazing for the couple. She goes above and beyond in everything she does - she is so much more than a photographer. Aside from being a great professional, Makenna is a wonderful person and her energy and heart shines through in everything she does. This is her passion. She loves capturing special moments and I'm so thankful she agreed to capture ours!

Kim at Collective Grace was incredible to work with. She did an engagement session as well as our wedding and both were such a great experience. As a couple, we are not the most comfortable in front of the camera, but Kim walked us through our special day in a way that allowed her to capture our love in the most authentic way. She captured amazing photos that truly memorialized our perfect day. We are so grateful for her work and who she is as a person. We highly recommend working with Collective Grace!

AB On Site Beauty

AB On Site Beauty is entering their third official year in business as a wedding hair and makeup company. With over 12 years of experience in the beauty industry owner Alyssa has been specializing in brides, and every year has mastered her art more and more. She now specializes in both makeup and hair artistry, and has added on an incredible team to be able to accommodate larger bridal parties.

Alyssa and her team were amazing to work with for my wedding! We did all hair and makeup at the venue and they arrived early and were ready to go. We had a large group but all bridesmaids, mothers and myself were done on time and looked amazing. Our wedding was on a particularly hot and humid day in July and everybody’s hair and makeup survived throughout the entire day. Alyssa and her team had great energy throughout the morning in the bridal suite and really made the getting ready process fun and easy. Alyssa was also on-hand to do touch-ups after my first look with my parents and groom. I would recommend AB Onsite to any bride!
