I’m Jill — a Wisconsin wedding photographer with over 13 years of experience and a serious love for honest, emotional moments. I’m drawn to real connection, great light, and the kind of photos that feel alive, not overly posed or polished.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jill was fantastic to work with. She helped me feel comfortable even though I usually feel awkward posing for pictures. My husband and I had such a great experience with Jill for our engagement photos that we asked her back to photograph our wedding and we would do it again. All our photos, from both photo events, are simply stunning. She captured our energy, the scenery, the natural light, and made us look great!

Hello! I am a passionate photographer who is obsessed with finding and creating beautiful moments. My philosophy about photography for the last 18+ years is to make it simple, with gorgeous light and to trust the power of capturing the connection between individuals. When I'm not busy chasing moments with my camera, I'm doing crafts and going on outdoor adventures with my family!

Awarded Best of Zola
When picking a wedding photographer we received the advice of you get what you pay for. Nicole did such fantastic work and her pricing fit perfectly in our budget. Before your big day she sets up a meeting with you to talk about specific things that you want captured. For us it was a tree that had pictures of passed love ones, our hands and rings displayed, extra pictures on a staircase. She wrote all of these things down to make sure we got everything we wanted! On the day of, before she left she asked if there were any last minute pictures we wanted to make sure nothing was left out! The pictures all came out soooo beautiful and she made sure that everyone looked great in the pictures!! I do wish that our pictures came a little quicker, however since she is so great at what she does, she understandably has lots of clients to work on as well. We would pick her again and again!

Hi, I’m Paige! 🤍 You deserve beautiful, timeless images with a photographer you can trust so you can focus on what matters most: marrying the love of your life and enjoying your wedding with the people you love. My goal is to capture your day with great attention to detail so you’ll love and cherish your photos and videos forever. Capturing weddings is truly my passion, and I feel so lucky to preserve couples’ most meaningful moments.

Paige at Like Family Photography was truly incredible to work with. She captured our wedding day so beautifully. Our photos are absolutely stunning and perfectly reflect the joy and emotion of the day. Every image feels natural, heartfelt, and so “us.” Her communication throughout the entire process was fantastic. She was organized, responsive, and made everything feel seamless and stress-free. We had a unique micro wedding with multiple stops throughout the day, and she was so accommodating and flexible, which meant the world to us. We also received videography, and we could not be happier with the footage. Being able to relive our day whenever we want is such an incredible gift. Paige and her team captured not just how everything looked, but how it felt. I truly cannot recommend Like Family Photography enough. We are beyond grateful and cannot wait to work with Paige again in the future to capture more special moments in our lives!

Capturing moments, creating stories, sharing the love…is my passion. I want to be there for those surprise proposals, or on your wedding day, telling the story of your big day.

Hailey Stark Photography 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Appleton, WI

I am so dang excited to hear all about your love story! I've always dreamed of being able to stay home and raise my babies but still be able to create the art that burns so passionately in my heart. When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me doing all the mom things. A few of my go-to activities include hiking a new spot, spending the day at my favorite beach, or camping in the pines. Truthfully, I've never said no to an adventure. You could ask me to hop a plane with you next week to the mountains and I would make it happen.

I will never stop recommending Hailey Stark Photography to everyone that I know! I don't even know where to begin. I truly have nothing negative to say about the experiences we have had with Hailey. There is no one else I would rather have had as our wedding photographer. Even with booking Hailey before we were engaged, she was so responsive to ALL of my questions and was always willing to give her expert advice. During both of our engagement sessions as well as on our wedding day, Hailey was able to work magic and take 2 people who are camera shy and give them the space and experience where we had FUN and laughed with her. For once, having pictures taken didn't feel like a chore AND we both loved the photos we received. As we left our first engagement session, my (now) husband and I said to each other that we felt like we had known Hailey for so much longer than the hour that we spent with her. The day of our wedding, Hailey was no less amazing. She was there whenever and wherever needed, even helping me secure my veil when I felt like it was becoming too loose. We haven't received our gallery yet as our wedding was just on 10/12, but I already know that we are going to love our photos because Hailey is so amazing at what she does. If I were to plan a wedding again, there is no doubt in my mind that I would choose Hailey as our photographer every time. I can't wait to have her photograph more of our life's milestone moments in the future!

She has a real talent for taking charge without being overbearing, ensuring that everything went smoothly while still keeping the energy light and relaxed. Together, Mark and Beth worked seamlessly with Kendahl, the videographer, and the results were nothing short of amazing. The team’s coordination really shone through, and they all made sure to capture not only the big moments but the subtle, heartfelt ones too. We now have memories that we'll cherish forever, beautiful, candid, and authentic. We would absolutely recommend Mark Malec Photography to anyone looking for a team that goes above and beyond.
