Ryan and his team are incredible! They are professional, creative, prompt, helpful, courteous, talented and FUN!!! They captured our wedding so beautifully.... it has been over a year since that day and I am still obsessed with our wedding photos! One of our groomsmen was quite a handful and Alex still managed to wrangle him and the rest of the guys when they had been drinking (think herding cats...lol) for group photos and they turned out great while also capturing some of the one groomsmen's shenanigans for laughs to be had for years to come. The beach had a bunch of people sitting on it and Ryan posed our group to conceal all of the beachgoers! No editing needed! Ryan's night shot (gorgeous!!!) and some of our other favorites from the day still grace our living room wall in our home! Would hire this company again in an instant!!! The night shot won't load on this review page as it is apparently too many MB for this platform, but trust me when I say it is STUNNING.

Emily Kettner Photography

Appleton, WI
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,000

I love photographing real moments of people in love. With me, I work hard for you to feel comfortable to be yourselves, so that I can capture the most creative, endearing swoon-worthy moments. My style is a mix of candid and editorial, and while I'll make certain to grab those mandatories with fam, the majority of your photos will be captured "moments" — especially between the bridal couple. My editorial-style wedding photography and engagement photos will capture those moments, those details, those looks you gave one another, that you may forget about 20 or 50 years from now, but will be able smile upon when you look at your wedding photos.

Emily is amazing and so reliable! From engagement photos to your wedding day- you will be in excellent hands.

From the beginning process of wedding planning, through our ceremony, to the best part (THE PARTY) Joe absolutely nailed it. If you’re looking for a DJ that does so much more than play music, look no further. After our first couple meetings with Joe we felt much more at ease, there’s so much to think about when you’re planning a wedding and he kept us right on track every step of the way. As far as our reception his set up and equipment is stunning!! He kept a constant flow of people out on the dance floor - even my 85 year old GG was out shaking her groove thang!

Capturing weddings since 2017, Sam is passionate about creating images that showcase the real you. Your wedding is an incredibly important event & you deserve to work with vendors you not only get along with, but trust completely & enjoy spending time with!

Awarded Best of Zola
We spent a LONG time researching a photographer/videographer. We agreed that this is what was the most important for us as it was the thing we get to keep forever. The style right now is dark, moody, and blurry, which isn't our style. We found Sam's photography to be vibrant, crisp, and fun. We noticed she captures people as they are. She isn't going to edit out cellulite or fix your hair if it is out of place, but we knew that ahead of time. We met and she took our engagement pictures, which turned out stunning. She finished everything in a timely manner. On our wedding day, she took pictures as well as another photographer Marissa, and Sam's husband Cory was the videographer. They made an awesome team. Marissa directed more than Sam with moving pieces of hair or turning necklaces. We were glad she came. Sam and Cory would have been great, but adding Marissa made it the 10/10. Our videos and pictures, as well as a book and metal print were all done and in our possession in a timely manner with LOTS of great communication. I am obsessed with them.

I'm a Wisconsin-based photographer with a love for storytelling, genuine connection and finding magic in the in-between moments. I’m fueled by tacos, crispy Diet Coke, and golden hour magic. I believe your wedding day should feel like you—and your photos should, too. I photograph couples who don’t mind a little dirt on their dress or wind in their hair if it means chasing golden light. Couples who care more about being present than being perfect. This isn’t just about pretty photos—it’s about capturing your story in a way that feels like you, and having a dang good time doing it.

Kati is a phenomenal photographer! We felt at ease and like ourselves while she captured the magic of our most special day so beautifully. Kati and Chris did an exceptional job keeping track of desired photos and the schedule without making us feel rushed. We can't stop reliving our perfect day through Kati's lens!

John, the owner and lead videographer, understands the importance of preserving this important time in your life. He is very passionate about telling compelling stories through cinematic story telling.

We found Frassetto Films through an honest google search for "wedding videographer near Oshkosh". I only had one consult before meeting with John, and I knew from that first Zoom meeting he was the right man for our wedding. We had a very nontraditional and unconventional ceremony and reception. We wanted someone fun who would be able to keep up on all the nonsense and shenanigans that the day would bring. John did his best at capturing the sweet, sentimental moments all the way to the downright ridiculous moments. He was equally excited, especially when he found out our food was being provided by Pete's Garage in Oshkosh. I booked him pretty early in the wedding planning process, so it was quite the wait to see how day unfolded. Communication was great throughout the year and a half engagement. There were never any questions left unanswered. He worked great with our photographer and other vendors. He is also a firm believer in letting you enjoy the day; you almost forget he's there with a camera. There were never any uncomfortable moments. He shared a teaser video a few days after the wedding which left us wanting more, obviously! He even posted a tik tok snippet of our ceremony which all of our guests and officiant keep raving about and sharing! I cannot wait to see the final product!
