The Sound Originals team were fantastic people to work with, not only due to their professionalism, but also because they were great people to have around. They were extremely comfortable and friendly while working with us and taking photos. Even when it came down to the dogs, 2 of which were panicking because they are rescues and being around so many people stressed them out, this didn't even phase the Sound Originals team which impressed me the most. Their professionalism with their gear was truly amazing to see (we have some professional photographers in our family who were commenting on this too), you could tell they knew how to handle their equipment. One thing that I loved was that they took the time to create cute photogenic moments to capture with the camera that would normally be over so fast, you would probably miss it. Every photo, from the goofy spur of the moment reactions - to the posed adorable moments, came out beautifully. Thank you Sound Originals for working with us! We couldn't have asked for better photographers.

Eivan's made our wedding day wonderful! Alexander Schmidt was our photographer, and our videographer was Noah. We got our pictures back sooner than expected, and they suited the exact style we had hoped for. Communication was great, photos were easy to access, and we were allowed free download for so many pictures! One family portrait had one person not looking, otherwise people were smiling and looking in everything. Many people commented on their professionalism as well as their kindness at the wedding.

Whimsical Roots Photography

  • Serves Wilmot, WI

Over 200 times since 2013, I’ve hopped out of bed in the morning with butterflies in my stomach & stars in my eyes as I’ve loaded up my camera bag & headed out the door to capture a beautiful wedding day. I help sophisticated couples like you celebrate this iconic chapter in your journey by creating sincere images that look & feel true to life, & true to you. Your love story is anything but ordinary, & you can trust that I will celebrate your connection with creativity & poise, in its own, unrivaled way.  Depend on me to ensure a relaxed & joyful experience that will transform the fleeting moments of your wedding day into treasured heirlooms.

We first worked with Andrea for our engagement/wedding photos in 2017. We picked her for her fun and uplifting energy but we were so happy with the photos that we have continued to work with her for multiple family lifestyles sessions over the years. She makes you feel so comfortable behind the camera and you can see that come through in the pictures. We love her style of work and even more so her personality! You won’t be disappointed!

Taber Lacie Photo 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,400
  • Serves Wilmot, WI
  • Offer

As a Milwaukee wedding photographer, I’m drawn to quiet, in-between moments - the fleeting glances, unguarded laughter, and effortless connection. For nearly two decades, I’ve captured weddings and families with a calm, observant approach, blending artful composition with genuine emotion. Based near Milwaukee and available for weddings worldwide, I create timeless images for those who value authenticity, artistry, and connection.

Awarded Best of Zola
I could not have dreamt up a better photographer for our wedding than Taber Lacie... I don't even know where to begin. Booking her was easily the best decision we made of all our vendor choices. Her talent is just through the roof. There are certainly plenty of photographers out there who are talented and it can be tough to narrow down, but what I think separates Taber from the pack is how, in addition to being uniquely talented and passionate about her work, she is also affordable, incredibly fun to be around, and will stick around for the ENTIRE day and night. The importance of having a photographer who is laid-back, directive (in an enjoyable and super helpful way!), hilarious, and overall a joy to have with you is so underrated; it can really make or break your mood for the day since they're there, ideally, throughout every part of your day. In terms of her rates, I truly believe she could charge double what she does and still be worth every penny. The fact that she included a free engagement photo session (in part to help you ensure it's a good fit) and stayed through the reception was such a gift. That said, if I had to pinpoint one aspect of what makes Taber so special and why I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer is that she tailors her photographs to your preferences and taste. We are a huge fan of dancing photos, for example, and holy cow did she come through. She sends out a questionnaire before the big day and its purposefully lengthy so that she can be thorough and give you all exactly what you're looking for. Even if our photos aren't your taste, I highly recommend browsing her site, as her range is as remarkable as is the quality of her photographs. In short, if you book Taber, I am confident she will exceed your expectations just as she exceeded ours.

Steve Bowman Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Wilmot, 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!

Steve Bowman Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, his communication was quick, informative, and friendly. The quality of his work was stellar - they captured the most beautiful, artistic, and detail-oriented photos that we will treasure forever. They were able to get us our fully edited photos the same night, which was incredibly impressive. The best example is, the stunning family photo they took of my husband, daughter, and I - it's now my new favorite of the three of us and I can't stop looking at it. He also took incredible shots of my husband and I throughout the day that I'm so grateful to have. Plus, he made the whole experience easy and fun! We had a great time getting our pictures taken together for a first look before the ceremony. The value he provided was unbeatable, and we'll absolutely be using him again in the future. Steve Bowman Photography is simply the best!

Three: Seventeen Photography Llc

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Wilmot, 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.

From stolen glances to cheeky kisses and getting loose on the dance floor, I'll be there to document your love story.

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.

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!

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.
