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!

“It was an absolute pleasure working with Elliot as our wedding photographer. From our very first engagement shoot to the big day itself, he was attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. Elliot understood our vision perfectly every single time and made us feel completely at ease, knowing everything was in great hands. His communication was excellent. He answered every one of our (many) questions quickly and clearly, which made the entire process stress free. The final photos went above and beyond what we could’ve imagined. If you’re looking for the perfect photographer for your special day, don’t think twice: book Elliot!”

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.

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!”

I appreciated her work ethic, professionalism, advice, and creativity. Her personality made it easy to have a great day, even in the midst of a little chaos. Also, I have to mention her second shooter, Antwonette, was a pleasure to work with as well! Second, the sneak peak pictures....BLEW ME AWAY!

“I don't ever write reviews but I knew I had to figure out how to for Mayah. She was there for me and my husband from the very beginning - from the proposal to the engagement shoot to the big day (and rehearsal dinner). I couldn't imagine going through my bridal era without her and I'm beyond grateful for her. For the sake of not exceeding the word count, I'll focus on the wedding weekend. She came to my rehearsal (which was just us & family & wedding party) and basically acted as a planner. She walked through the entire next day with us while capturing all the best shots. I went to bed that night feeling completely ready because of her. On the wedding day, she walked into my suite and I instantly felt a weight off my chest. The next few hours of photos were so fun, she had the entire bridal party giggling and singing. I got to live in the moment at every turn because I had complete faith that she was taking amazing pictures. Her eye for details and the way she brings her visions to life is mind blowing. I also have to note that my hair fell out after the ceremony when we took my veil out and she completely fixed it and no one could tell... who else's photographer is doing that?!? All that to say I don't think it gets better than Mayah. As I wait for the rest of my gallery it's hit me that our time with her is over, but I have so many memories to cherish and I plan to work with her again in the future. I couldn't imagine letting anyone us capture my special moments. ILY forever Mayah!!!”

“We booked Your Wedding Day Film, LLC to photograph and record our wedding and they were 10/10! Vanessa was the person I spoke to throughout the entire planning process and she helped make things so much easier for me. Having a schedule and a shot list took so much stress off of my shoulders and we spoke often to confirm everything prior to. Taytum and Michael were our photographer and videographer, and they truly helped make our day feel magical, and they also helped make me feel so beautiful. There is nothing I would change and I would recommend them to anyone looking for someone to capture their special day. Thank you Your Wedding Day Film!”

She was on time, brought awesome creative ideas, was very professional, and super awesome to work with!
