Complete Weddings + Events Madison (Photography)

  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $1,495
  • Serves Columbus, WI

There are many types of wedding photographers, and all of them combine art and storytelling to capture significant life moments. At Complete Weddings + Events Madison, our wedding photographers bring the same dedication and attention to detail to our photography services as we do to the rest of our wedding and event services. From major corporate get-togethers to fabulous downtown weddings, our event and wedding photographers in Madison, Wisconsin and surrounding areas are ready to exceed your expectations and create memories that you’ll enjoy for years to come.

It was an amazing experience working with the three amazing people we were assigned for our wedding. We booked a photographer, videographer, and DJ through this company and I don’t think I could have asked for much more than what they did for us! Finding vendors for these three jobs was very important to me as a bride because I wanted to make sure it was going to be a stress free and memorable day. I wanted to make sure everything was captured and that friends and family would have the best time possible celebrating with us. To start with our photographer Sean, he is such an amazing individual and was such a light hearted and fun energy to have. He got along with everybody and was so patient with our youngest and oldest family members. The photos we received were amazing and captured so many great moments without feeling posed. Our videographer Jason captured such great moments for us and cracked so many jokes throughout the day. Our video is absolutely amazing and was pretty close to what I had imagined before receiving it. When your videographer willingly whips out a kart wheel to show off to a group of dancers, you know he’s passionate about his job. Lastly our DJ John was the perfect DJ for our party! He was so attentive and absolutely hilarious. An amazing MC and worked with me to create several surprises throughout the night. As a dancer and perfectionist, I could not have asked for someone to have read the room any better! I never had to ask for songs to be skipped and my guests felt so comfortable to approach him with requests. I don’t know if we could ever put into words how well they worked together. Everyone that we dealt with through this company made our experience so easy to manage.

Birchwood Studio 
  • Fine art style
  • Starts at $4,000
  • Serves Columbus, WI

It all began when I was a sophomore in high school, with my first photography class. Before digital was a "big thing," we had film and a dark room. I lived in that dark room, and photography was the only "advanced" class I took in school. I can honestly say, I have not dropped the camera since that first day of photography class. My style has changed and evolved, but what remains is my love for capturing life with light. Now, 18 years later, I am married to my best friend and gorgeous hunk of a husband, with four amazing gorgeous babies and one in heaven. We are a couple who fell in love over 10 years ago at Red Robin (yes, the restaurant!).

Awarded Best of Zola
I met Edgar, the owner of Anchor Studios several years ago when we both lived in Houston, TX. We met because I had just finished my degree and was looking for a photographer - he actually took my graduation photos! When it finally came time to book our wedding photography, I knew I wanted to go with him - no questions. His communication style is open and easy. He is responsive to all questions and requests which made the planning process a breeze. The quality of his work is truly top-notch, with beautifully curated photos that captured all the special moments of our wedding day. He is incredibly accommodating and guided us through every step of the way. He didn't hesitate when I even asked him to travel out to California for the wedding. It was awesome to have someone who is like an old friend and has seen us grow over the years capture our special day. Edgar, Anchor Studios Photography, was the perfect addition to our wedding day, and we couldn't be happier with the memories they've preserved for us.

I have been a photographer for 8 years. Throughout my time as a photographer I’ve captured clothing, models, and memories. I shifted from corporate shootings to families and weddings because it gave me this warm fuzzy feeling when I edited my couples and families photos. Don’t be afraid to reach out to me and ask about my photography style, my editing style, or my favorite restaurant! I highly recommend scheduling a free consulting session!

Grace was a pleasure to work with during the wedding planning process. She was timely in her responses and upfront with pricing. On the day of the wedding, it felt like we were herding cats, but she remained professional and efficient. Even though we were running behind schedule with getting dressed, she managed to squeeze in a few dress shots and some first look photos. Grace remained patient even as some of our friends and family showed up late for photos! As we moved between locations, she made sure I was holding my dress in a way so that I wouldn’t fall on my face. She also helped my MOH bustle my dress after the ceremony (again, so I wouldn’t fall on my face). Grace was always cognizant of the lighting on location, and how it would affect photos. Her assistant, Joey, was lovely and accommodating as well. All in all, a wonderful experience!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Candace for my wedding weekend in France was a dream come true. I’ve been lucky enough to know Candace since she photographed my best friend’s wedding in 2020, where she impressed all of us so much that three more of my friends hired her for their weddings in the following years. When I decided on my own destination wedding, I knew there was no one else I would ever want to document my own celebration. Candace is the ultimate professional and deeply skilled in her craft. She has a very clear vision and point of view that comes through so clearly in her photos. She is wonderful to work with – polite, communicative, and a calming energy amid all the stress of the wedding process. My husband and I felt so comfortable in front of her camera and she gave us great direction along every step of the way. Candace is an amazing cheerleader and makes you feel like your most confident and beautiful self. Our destination wedding in France came with a lot of moving parts and unexpected obstacles and Candace handled everything with grace and a great attitude. So many of our guests and vendors have commented on what a joy she was to work with. She worked with us tirelessly for multiple days and provided us with more images than I could ever have dreamed of within an unbelievably quick turnaround time. And most importantly, she captured the energy and feeling of the whole weekend perfectly. You can feel the laughter, love, and joy bursting out of every frame. It’s been impossible to choose our favorite images because every picture is crafted with such skill and care. It’s a joy to revisit these photos again and again and feel transported back into the memory of the weekend. We are so grateful to Candace for her effort, talent, energy and the beautiful memories she captured. We recommend her to any couple without hesitation!

I’m a wedding photographer who believes your story deserves to be told with honesty, intention, and a little bit of magic. I’m drawn to couples who feel deeply, love boldly, and sometimes worry about how they’ll translate on camera — that’s where my gift lies. Clients often share that I bring a calming, grounding presence that lets them breathe, open up, and feel beautifully themselves. I chase tender glances, soft chaos, joyful bursts, and all the quiet magic in between. If you want warm, romantic, lived-in imagery, I’d be honored to tell your story.

My husband and I ABSOLUTELY love Natalie and cannot recommend her enough. We got married recently and she exceeded all of our expectations and made our wedding day perfect and a dream. She is so sweet, radiates kindness and fun, professional and organized, and made us feel so comfortable from our first consultation, to our engagement photo session, to our wedding day. You can just tell she cares about her clients so much (and brides more specifically) and you will not regret working with her! Can’t wait to book her again soon.

Hey there! Kataryna here. Thanks for checking out my work. I never thought that I would have the opportunity to meet you and everyone else that I have throughout my photography journey.

Shortly after graduation, I moved back to the Chicago suburbs and began growing my business. A few years later, and I am extremely grateful for everything I have been able to accomplish. ​

Hi! I'm Christin, a destination wedding photographer based in Chattanooga, TN. Specializing in timeless and artful imagery, my expertise goes beyond just taking photos; it's about crafting a visual story that reflects the joy, love, and unique spirit of your celebration.

Working with Christin at Christin Sofka Photography was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding journey. From our very first inquiry to the days following our wedding, Christin has been nothing short of phenomenal—responsive, professional, fun, and such a warm presence throughout. We initially found her because of her stunning photography style, but it was her incredible personality that sealed the deal. From our first call, she genuinely wanted to get to know us—our story, our vibe, our vision—and it showed in everything she did. Before we even officially hired her, Christin was helping us find a venue that aligned with our dream, connecting us with other amazing vendors, and offering support in ways far beyond the role of a photographer. She was in it with us every step of the way. I’m usually awkward in front of a camera, but somehow Christin made it feel effortless and fun. She created an environment where we could just be ourselves—and that joy, love, and personality came through in every photo. Our pictures shine with who we are. Every idea we had, she embraced and brought to life in ways that exceeded our expectations. She was just as excited as we were the entire time—and honestly, I can’t imagine our day without her. Christin is not just a photographer—she’s a true artist, a cheerleader, and a calming, creative force you’ll be so lucky to have by your side. If you’re considering hiring her: do it. You’ll be singing her praises too.

When we got married, we only had forty 4x6 prints—no album, no gallery, just a few fleeting memories on paper. Yet those photos became priceless reminders of the joy, laughter, and love of that day. They inspired us to create what we wished we’d had—a timeless way to relive your wedding story for years to come. Since 2010, we’ve captured heartfelt, elegant weddings across Wisconsin for adventurous couples who revere life, marriage, and lasting beauty. What began with forty prints became our mission: to preserve love in its most genuine, enduring form.

James Stokes Photography, LLC was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the start, we were drawn to their clear communication, compassionate approach, and obvious dedication to their craft. James and Katie have been a complete godsend in our wedding planning journey, consistently going above and beyond to make the experience feel calm, kind, and effortless. When multiple rain postponements threatened our engagement session, James still traveled an hour and a half to our chosen location and spent hours shooting with us in the rain. His genuine commitment and thoughtful attention to detail helped capture the dreamy, romantic feel we had hoped for, and the photos turned out absolutely stunning. Beyond their beautiful and meaningful work, James and Katie have been a constant source of honest advice and support throughout our wedding planning process. We feel so fortunate to have found photographers who treat you as more than just clients, but as people.

I'm Ashley a Cleveland, Ohio portrait photographer specializing in dark and concept driven imagery. With 18+ years of experience, I blend mood, storytelling, and artistic depth while offering a range of editing aesthetics to match each client's vision. I hold a Certificate in Photography from the Hallmark Institute of Photography and am also self taught. When I'm not creating, I'm with my supportive husband and our 2 cats Pumpkin & Goblin. We love traveling, trying new things, and discovering great food. My passion for photography began in childhood, inspired by my mother's photos and 90s magazine ads.

Awarded Best of Zola
The Important Points about Sage & Iron You Should Not Skip: -Budget friendly -Super flexible -Empathetic and understanding -Professional family wrangler -Prompt communication & transparency -Open to ideas if you've got 'em, but if not that's totally fine too -Easily the most "human" professional photographer I've ever had the pleasure of working with Sage & Iron (we only worked with Ashley) is someone I felt super comfortable with right away--which says a lot because I'm usually so untrusting of most people I hire for things. My husband and I were hunting for a wedding photographer that could provide spooky/moody photos of us, but also some traditional classics too. All with the very tight constraints of funding our small wedding ourselves, we thought we'd never find what we were looking for. *Enter: Sage & Iron* We booked with S&I right away, and while I originally had plans with a friend to take our engagement photos, that fell through, and S&I(Ashley) was SO understanding when I asked about booking an engagement session even though it wasn't originally in our plans. We scheduled for dates in the fall, but it's Ohio, so there was of course rain.. then wind.. so our spooky moody engagement shoot ultimately was pushed to early spring in a cemetery. You would NEVER know that we didn't take these photos in the late-fall! Mission: Accomplished I am chronically forgetful, but Ashley always came through with reminders about payment dates, and was always incredibly flexible with me when I said I'd text her soon and "soon" became days. A Saint of Patience! Not to mention, all of our wedding planning (Read: Me stressing out) was happening while Ashley was experiencing some heavy life-things of her own, but she never once made me feel like anything less than a priority. Truly dedicated to her clients and making sure they feel heard and cared for. Wedding: It was beautiful weather all week, but naturally, bonkers wind and rain the entire day of our wedding. Unfortunately, and at no fault of S&I, our venue that already was lacking in the "indoor photo locations department" decided to book a 1000 guest event at the last minute the same day of our wedding... So are many of our photos in a stairwell not designed for photos? Yes. Did Ashley do her damndest to get interesting photos of the bridal party despite the lack of indoor locations or ideal lighting conditions? I believe so! She was also a champion of wrangling us, keeping the family under control during photo time, delegating whose turn it was to get photos with the bride and groom next, it was like watching a foreman in a work zone. And I NEEDED someone to do that for me because I was, well, a bride. In summary: S&I (Ashley) is a joy and a pleasure to work with, even when I forget to download my own wedding photos before they came down from the website... She still has them stored safely for me to be able to download them. An angel. If you're looking for a photographer who is real with you, keeps you updated, has transparent pricing and won't ever try to bait-and-switch you, cares about you as a human first and foremost, knows how to flex some genuinely cool moody artistic shots but still nails the classics, you've found your vendor!
