VIDART nailed it. I’ve seen friends get wedding photos that felt stiff or over-edited. Ours are the complete opposite. They’re natural, timeless, and beautiful. Best choice we made.

I'm a 35-year-old husband to Samantha, our son Silas, daughter Fiona, and our wiggler companion Moxie. I've been a wedding photographer for 11 years, having photographed over 300 weddings and countless other sessions! My hobby is also my job, and you bet my wife loves that, haha. I am also a stay-at-home dad, a philatelist, a Lego freak, and a craft beer nerd, and we have an orange fridge, haha.

Awarded Best of Zola
The quality of Erik's work as a photographer is unparalleled. He truly captured the "light, bright, airy" aesthetic that I loved when I first started researching different styles. 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!

Hello! My name is Brook! I am the owner and lead photographer of Forever Frozen Photography. Thank you for checking out my page! Let's jump right in! I have an amazing 4 year old son and my husband and I are newly married as of November 2022! I've been a professional photographer for about 8 years now enjoying every minute of it! My true passion when getting behind the lens is wedding photography. I pride myself in noticing the little details of special moments that happen during your wedding day, things that in maybe 30 years from now you may not remember of the day.

Awarded Best of Zola
Brook at Forever Frozen Photography was absolutely amazing. We really wanted to make sure our day was captured to the fullest, and Forever Frozen Photography worked hard to ensure they didn't miss a single moment. From our engagement photos to the big day, Brook's keen eye ensured every special moment was beautifully documented. As two of the most awkward people in front of a camera, Brook made us feel relaxed and natural, allowing us to truly focus on our wedding day rather than worrying about the photography. We are thrilled with the results and are so grateful to Forever Frozen Photography for their incredible service.

  • Serves Dane, WI

Hey, Im Grant. I'm a Madison, WI based wedding photographer who specializes in a documentary approach using both film and digital photography. If you want your wedding gallery to be uniquely yours (vs a Pinterest shotlist), then I'm your guy.

Awarded Best of Zola
Choosing the right photographer was one of the more important decisions for our wedding, and we dedicated considerable time to making the right choice. Looking back after our wedding, I can say that we made the best decision. Working with Grant was truly a fantastic experience. From the moment we connected, he seamlessly guided us through the entire process, making us feel at ease and ensuring our day was beautifully captured. He made the day a breeze, capturing every special moment while making us feel totally relaxed. His ability to blend into the day effortlessly while capturing important moments was impressive. Some of the most cherished shots were taken without us even realizing he was there, yet each picture vividly brings back the emotions we felt at that moment. His documentary style? It's our jam! No stiff poses- just real, authentic shots that tell our story. Also, his skill in film photography added an incredible depth to the images, preserving the essence of our day in timeless frames. I also want to point out how easy communication was/is with him. Grant is lightning-fast with responses! So friendly and approachable too. When so many details of a wedding can be stressful, it was SO nice knowing we didn’t have to worry at all about our photography. If you're after a wedding photographer, Grant has the skills, the vibe, and the passion. Highly recommend!

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Makenna was super great to work with and I really hope to work with her again in the future. She was really respectful of my space when I was aiming to get certain video shots, but was also communicative anywhere on site with not only us videographers, but also with her couples. She even captured a few photos of us in action for us to use on our website, which was so considerate! Again, I really enjoyed working with Makenna and hope to again soon. She is excellent!

They work so perfectly together and they both were so naturally encouraging and shared our joy with us.

I’m a wedding and elopement photographer for couples who want their day to feel real, relaxed, and completely their own. Whether you’re saying your vows on a mountaintop, in your backyard, at the courthouse, or surrounded by all your favorite people, I’m there to document it in a way that feels honest and true to you. My approach is documentary-style with gentle guidance when you need it, so you never have to worry about feeling awkward in front of the camera. I focus on the in-between moments, the big emotions, and the little details that make your story yours.

I gave Courtney a list of groups and family members I wanted included for my wedding photos, could not have been more pleased with the outcome. Not only did she get the photographs I was hoping to see; she also helped posed the whole group (if you have a husband you know)

I'm a midwest wedding photographer specializing in wedding photojournalism. I believe a wedding day is a celebration, not a photoshoot. Come as you are and know you don't need to pose and perform for the camera. The real stuff is the good stuff.

We cannot say enough great things about having Caitlin as our wedding photographer! From our first meeting to engagement shoot and right up to the big day she was so easy to work with. She was always quick to respond to emails and questions. Even through all the COVID craziness, she was flexible with every change that came our way and was willing to adjust timing, schedule, location, etc. My husband and I were nervous in front of the camera at first, but she made us laugh, kept us talking, and encouraged us to be our natural selves. On the wedding day, she did not stop working for a second! She had talked and planned with us beforehand, so made sure to get all the specific photos she knew we wanted. We love how all our pictures turned out- she captured the emotions of our day perfectly!

Erika Diaz Photography

  • Serves Dane, WI

My own love story makes my heart skip a beat, and that’s my inspiration for capturing yours. For me, photography started as a fun, creative outlet—but it quickly became a way to bottle up the most meaningful moments in life. I love freezing those moments in time that make us want to hit “rewind” or at least “pause” for a little while. The moments that make my heart skip a beat.

As a wedding vendor, I've had the pleasure of working with Erika many times on creative projects and wedding days and have never had anything but the kindest words for my time with her! She's attentive and warm with every person she meets. She captures intimate moments others miss and allows freedom in the day for authentic memories to happen naturally. You'll feel fully supported leading up to the day with check-ins, timeline creation and easing nerves to make the day run smoothly. Highly recommended to all my couples!

Jenna is AMAZING! She was so easy to work with, and highly professional. My husband and I were drawn to the authenticity of her work, and we are so in love with our engagement and wedding photos! Jenna captured the genuine emotion of our wedding day, without any of the "cheesiness" that can be typical of wedding photos. On our wedding day, Jenna and her second shooter, Cody, were present to capture all our special moments, but it never felt crowded or overwhelming. We're also really glad that we went with the option to have a second shooter. We would highly

George Street Photo & Video were an amazing company to work with for photographing my wedding!! Coordinator was very communicative and helpful for whatever I may need or want. Even went through what different packages include, what would most likely work best for what I’d like, and lists of photographer’s portfolios while also giving recommendations based on what I had described being desired styles I was looking for in photos. The price was budget friendly while also providing quality service. My photographer was Ron and he did a beautiful job for both the engagement shoot and wedding day shoot. He was very professional, kind, and flexible throughout both days as well as ensuring that my husband and I captured everything we wanted for our getting ready, first look, ceremony, cocktail hour, family, you name it!

I present fun, elegant, and exciting Wedding Photography for my clients. My style is photojournalistic; I feel it's the most effective way to tell a story. After all, there is so much happening on a wedding day. Between the ceremony, dancing, and endless extravaganzas, the most memorable moments will naturally occur.  My goal is to capture the emotions and memories of your day through my lens. These recollections are your forever keepsakes, a chapter of your life's story. Every image accounts for those who were by your side, delighted for you, and the next step in your journey. I appreciate you for giving me a few moments of your time.t

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I were from out of town and hired Sean to photograph us at a Christmas gala at the place we got married. He was accommodating to last minute changes to make the most of the session and even went above and beyond to make it happen. Upon first impression, he was upbeat and had a vision. We were outside in sub 30 degree weather with fading evening light as well as low light inside a building and he was up for the challenge. We ended up with beautiful images in less than ideal conditions and that is what makes a great photographer. Sean has a sense of humor and an eye for that perfect photograph. He was fun to work with and his heart for people and creativity shows through. Thank you Sean for capturing this time in our lives.

She made me fall more in love with myself, and we had the funnest time together. We then did a very cool moody lights session together which I loved! She’s so great at communication, too!
