Hi, I’m Kelsey! I am a wedding photographer! I am obsessed with dogs. I will never not acknowledge a dog near me by saying “puppers”. It is what it is. I would 100% rather be on the beach somewhere with palm trees. I am constantly daydreaming about being in the tropics. I love the color black. If we work together, there is a high chance that will be my outfit color of choice.

Awarded Best of Zola
Kelsey did our proposal shoot, engagement shoot, a random photoshoot we planned, and our wedding. She is so easy to work with and makes us feel so comfortable working with her. She goes above and beyond with her delivery of images too. She’s always given us more images than what we’ve paid for just because she enjoys the shoot so much and the images. You can tell she loves what she does through her work! She’s always timely with her shoots and delivery of images! She got us close to 100 preview images within a day of our wedding. We love working with her and highly recommend her!!!

Whimsical Roots Photography 

5.0

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,500
  • Serves Elm Grove, 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.

Before we even got engaged, I had already started to look for wedding vendors as we would be planning our Wisconsin wedding from out of state. With so many photographers in the wedding game, it was hard to figure out exactly what we wanted until I came across Andrea and her Whimsical Roots page. I was immediately hooked and wanted to book her as soon as possible. It was clear from her style that she cared about her clients, and I wanted a wedding album that reflected that warmth and authenticity. From our first phone call, we adored Andrea. She was so easy to talk to and was eagerly waiting for the news when we officially got engaged. Throughout our engagement, Andrea kept up with us, making sure things were going well in the planning process and even sent us a New Years greeting card – truly above and beyond! When it came to wedding day, Andrea was an absolute angel. I did not think about how many quiet, raw moments I would be alone with just a photographer and videographer on wedding day: reading a letter from my soon-to-be-husband, taking bridal shots on a back porch, and waiting in a back room before finding my dad for our grand entrance. It was such a comfort to have Andrea be the person who was with me in those tender moments. Her presence was a gift for which I will forever be grateful. Once the main events started, Andrea was a rockstar as she navigated a semi-public space, a boat ride that was pretty bumpy, and an entire event outside with the sunlight fading too quickly. She made everything look easy and kept such a positive, energetic attitude the entire day. We still talk about how much we laughed while taking photos because she made it so fun! The turn around time for our final photos was quicker than we expected, and we are so blessed to have such beautiful, timeless works of art to remember our special day.

Steve Bowman Photography

  • Photojournalistic style

  • Serves Elm Grove, 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!

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Serves Elm Grove, 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. I'll even make sure to snap authentic moments that may've slipped by unnoticed - they're the best ones! Whether you want me to inconspicuously lurk in the shadows, snapping candid shots, or be right up front, rounding everyone up for group photos, I'll be the chameleon you need on the day. 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.

When it comes to photography, I want to provide you with images that make you feel something. Things I love when creating images.... great lighting interesting lines, symmetry, framing for unique composition humor emotions (crying, laughing, etc.) clients that trust me to give them something unique & fun

Our venue, Circa on Seventh, has been open for over 7 years, and Shannon has been one of our absolute favorites to work with over the years! She is so sweet to everyone, and always someone to jump in to help with anything --- pinning groomsmen boutonnieres, bustling the brides dress, repining a bridesmaids hair --- anything needed to make sure everyone looks absolutely perfect for photos. Not to mention how she captures every little hidden moment of your day --- the look on your love's face when they see you for the first time, a quick hand squeeze between your parents as you say "I do", your niece spinning around in her flower girl dress on the dancefloor... she knows just where to point her camera to capture those special hidden moments, perfectly. She's great! :)

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.

His guidance was super helpful and we were able to get all the shots we wanted plus a lot of amazing candid shots! He worked with us every step and made sure we had fun with it. He was also very understanding about our limited budget and worked resourcefully and creatively. We were originally supposed to have an outdoor wedding but it rained so we had to move it indoors. We were disappointed because we loved the outdoor space at the venue, but Pierro found ways to get beautiful shots inside. He also managed to get some incredible shots outside despite the weather! Overall, it was an amazing time and we are so happy that we went with Pierro. Would definitely recommend his services!
