Photography By Jill Emmer 

5.0

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,900
  • Serves Waupaca, WI

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
If you’re looking for a wedding photographer who is responsive, kind, and truly talented, I can’t recommend Jill enough! From the very beginning, she made us feel completely comfortable and at ease — something that meant a lot to me as someone who was nervous about being in front of the camera. Jill was incredibly responsive throughout the entire process, patiently answering all our questions and helping us figure out the perfect photo timeline for the day. On the wedding day itself, she brought such a calm and confident energy that helped everything flow naturally. What really stood out was how seamlessly she captured all those beautiful, candid moments — the laughter, the quiet glances, the small interactions that make the day so special. I was initially worried about the “posed” photos feeling stiff, but Jill made them fun and relaxed — and most of our favorite shots ended up being unposed, authentic moments that she somehow caught perfectly. Even my father, who is notoriously particular and has been a wedding photographer himself for decades, had nothing but praise for her — he actually complimented her photography style (which never happens!). Our photos are absolutely stunning — timeless, full of emotion, and beautifully composed. Jill has an incredible eye for detail and light, and she truly knows how to tell the story of the day through her images. We feel so lucky to have found her and will cherish these photos forever. Sorry I can't upload my photos for some reason but they are stunning!

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!

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. I want to celebrate the moments your senior enters into adulthood, or freeze time when you are having a session with your family. I want to tell your story, that is authentically you!

Katie and Dani were the best wedding photographers we could have asked for! I can’t recommend them enough! We got married in October of 2022 and had a great experience with Katie! She was super easy to work with, and made taking pictures fun! She was making us laugh the entire time which helped to make us feel comfortable. She took time to answer our questions and was super professional. It got pretty cold that day and Katie even let me use her coat in between pictures! We got the pictures back in January and I’m obsessed!! They are GORGEOUS! I couldn’t be happier with the experience.

Hailey Stark Photography

  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Waupaca, 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!

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
I cannot say enough about how wonderful it was to have Elliot as our photographer for our wedding! Simply put - book Elliot for your next event! He is the best vendor we have ever worked with and I promise you will not be disappointed. Elliot is incredibly responsive - like anytime we had a question (which was often) he would be texting/calling us back within 10 min. It was so nice and really helped relieve a lot of stress throughout our planning. Elliot is extremely knowledgeable in his field of work and was extremely helpful in guiding all of our poses and providing insight on the best location spots and recommended order of events. Elliot prioritizes you on your special day and will do anything to get the best shots - he literally climbed a tree for us lol! He also kept a box of Q-tips on him at all times to help me blot my tears without ruining my makeup which was so so sweet. Elliot is also very efficient. He gets great shots super quickly and can work within your timeline. He literally had our sneak peeks and drone video uploaded to my phone the same day as our event. Overall, Elliot is extremely passionate about his work and will do everything he can to ensure you are happy with the result. We are obsessed with what we have seen so far and cannot wait to see the full package!

The company encourages couples to remain present and mindful on their wedding day, which enables Mark and Beth to capture genuine and natural images.

We couldn't have been more thrilled with our choice to have Mark Malec Photography capture our wedding day. From the very first meeting, Mark made us feel like we were reconnecting with an old friend rather than just hiring a photographer. He’s incredibly warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind and so fun, which made us feel comfortable right away. His professionalism is matched only by how easy it is to be around him. Mark's fun and laid-back personality fit in perfectly with our family and made the entire experience so much more enjoyable! Beth was an absolute gem as well. Her attention to detail was impeccable, she noticed all the little things that could’ve been easily overlooked but made such a difference in the final photos. 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. Their skill, professionalism, and warmth made our wedding day unforgettable, and we’re so grateful to have had them with us. Thank you, Mark, Beth, and Kendahl, for being a part of our special day!
