Ampersand Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (9 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,600
  • Serves Franklin, WI

Hi, I'm Sam! I tell everyone I know that I have the best job in the world - I get to document life moments. I genuinely love being around people, building those connections and letting your images tell your story. Beyond weddings, I also offer family portraits, head shots, milestone sessions, boudoir, senior portraits and more. I love audiobooks, potatoes in all forms (including raw), playing games, peanut butter, ice cream, dogs, and truly just being around people. I love listening to others' stories. I love grandparents.

Awarded Best of Zola
From the initial consult, to the delivery of our Gallery, Sam was the superhero needed to keep things going smoothly. If you’re looking for a photographer who has skills in getting to know who you really are, making sure your personality is as much in the photos as you are, going above and beyond to help things go smoothly, take care of things you didn’t even know needed to be done, and show up in whatever way helps you while getting the job done: you’ve found her. I could not possibly say enough that would capture how great of an experience it was to work with Sam; the professionalism, care, and attention to details are as equally prevalent in her practice as her positive attitude, genuine helpfulness, and kind spirit. That is to say, Sam is everything you could want in a photographer, and everything you need to make sure it’s done with the utmost precision and skill.

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,800
  • Serves Franklin, WI

As a wedding photographer I believe your love story deserves to be told with honesty, warmth and intention. My approach is rooted in care for you, your loved ones and every moment in between. I am drawn to authentic connection, natural light and the in between moments that often mean the most- a squeeze of the hand or the way you look at each other when no one else is watching. My goal is to make you completely comfortable and truly seen so your photographs reflect who you are and honoring love in its most beautiful form.

I have worked with Erica in many stages of my life. From college graduation, maternity, and baptismal photos for my daughters. She has done an exceptional job each and every time. No matter the vision I give her, she always exceeds my expectations! I can’t wait to continue working with her for future milestones. Always a pleasure working with Erica!

Allie Amber Photo 
Rating: 5.0 (4 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,600
  • Serves Franklin, WI

I have a passion for travel and I love meeting new people and hearing their crazy (or not so crazy) stories. I love trying new things and walking around a new city until my feet bleed (that's literally happened...still love you tho, NYC). I'm a major extrovert, but I have a great appreciation for the little things in life. You'll likely find me sipping some strong coffee at a local café or snuggled up on the couch with some wine, pizza, and my husband on a rainy day. With a camera in hand, I am probably the most annoying person to travel with, stopping every ten feet to take a picture. Sorry not sorry.

Awarded Best of Zola
My husband and I could not recommend Allie Amber Photography enough! She captured our wedding day perfectly and fully embraced our multicultural wedding day. Throughout the whole process, Allie was so helpful, organized, and professional. On our wedding day, she was so much more than a photographer. She helped make sure everything was running smoothly and joined in on the fun to make our wedding day the special day that it was! Allie is incredibly talented - we haven't stopped looking at our photos since we received them!

Puneet S Ghai Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (3 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Franklin, WI

My photography business was born in sunny San Diego, but a new adventure has led me to the midwest! I currently live in Milwaukee, Wisconsin with my wife, our two cats, Nesta and Zinnia, and our dog, Clementine. I studied Neurobiology, Physiology and Behavior at UC Davis and went on to my Masters at UCSD in Healthcare Administration. Through all of this professional development, photography has been my constant and my creative outlet. I have been capturing moments for the past six years. To me, photography is a practice and a ritual. I am inspired by emotion, movement and adventure. I can't wait to meet you and capture your adventures.

I've worked alongside a lot of photographers, & Puneet is among the best of em. He was both professional & good-natured for the whole event. I personally knew the couple we were working for, and I was in awe of the album he put together afterwards. Not only was I amazed by all the perfect moments he was able to capture, but the pictures of my food was some of the best I've ever seen. In short, I highly recommend this dude.

Photos that feel natural, emotional, and timeless - images that reflect how your day truly looked and felt.

Derrick Parsons Weddings

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,250
  • Serves Franklin, WI

The goal is simple, that you fully live and enjoy your day. My approach is built on kindness, fun, and caffeine. My style is documentary first, complimented with editorial portraits. Your wedding day is a collection of fleeting yet unforgettable moments. All you need to do is be fully present and celebrate with all of your people in one place. I want all the authentic, unfiltered excitement. I want you to be free to dance in the rain, to jump in the pool, and to embrace the imperfect. Most importantly, I want for you the immeasurable joy of this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

If you’re looking for a photographer for your big day, look no further because Derrick is the absolute best! He captured every moment and emotion of our wedding at the Farmhouse in Plainfield so beautifully. Looking at these photos I’m instantly taken back to that moment and how I felt. Derrick was so organized, helpful, and kind throughout the whole process from planning to the wedding itself. His efficiency and professionalism on the wedding day allowed me to be in the moment and enjoy every little part of our day because I knew we were in great hands. He truly is just so talented and a pleasure to work with. Seriously, look no further, you’ve found the best! Oh and let’s take a moment to appreciate how well he photographed our dogs too! Thank you so much again for everything Derrick! I can’t wait to see the rest of the photos

Chelsea Matson Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (2 reviews)
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $4,600
  • Serves Franklin, WI

Hi! I grew up in NY and came to Milwaukee 8 years ago - you could say it was for love. We have settled in and embraced our new community. I have been so lucky to always have working with people at the forefront of everything I do. From teaching to non profit work, photography allows me to do all of those things. I LOVE being outside and exploring new places. We live on the shores of Lake Michigan and visit the beach regularly year round. When I am not frolicking and photographing amazing people, I am usually spending time with my nutty little family outside.

Chelsea is an absolute dream! She has an incredible eye and captures the big moments, but also the intimate and special moments throughout the day. Her photos are stunning and so so special, as she really gets to know you and your family. Chelsea will find the beauty in and celebrate what is special about/unique to you as a couple, and the results show that. She is so kind, easy and fun to work with, and was a real support throughout our whole planning process. Especially since we got married during the pandemic we had a lot of questions and unique hoops to jump through. Chelsea was always willing to talk through details (even those not photo-related!), share suggestions, etc. throughout our planning process. The day of Chelsea was a joy to have around and her positive energy and willingness to do whatever it took for the perfect shot (including walking backwards for several blocks during our mariachi band parade through the streets) is unmatched. I recommend Chelsea Matson Photography to any and everyone- you will not be disappointed!

In 2011, Scott Patrick founded Cream City Weddings to provide a collection of quality, creative services under one roof. His team includes talented photographers, videographers, album and graphic designers, DJs, officiants and event planners. The focus, however, is still he same, to collaborate with clients to create top quality images that tell the story of their business, social event, or family milestone. If you're looking for authentic, creative, documentary styled images for your business or event, please contact us. We’ll collaborate with you to create an amazing set of images to tell your story.

I absolutely loved working with Cream City Weddings. They gave me exactly what I asked for (which was amazing ) but my inability to be open minded and consider other possibilities has left me with some regrets. The photography was great and I love looking through my album but I wish I would have been open to the possibility of a video. Truthfully when I was planning my wedding everything came down to cost and I could not see past the bottom line. Cream City Weddings was incredibly respectful of my budget and did not push me however I wish they would have. Be open to different possibilities and make sure you communicate with your photographer because you get one chance to do this.

We can't recommend OLAS enough! Our photographer, Victoria, was amazing—super bubbly and made us feel comfortable right away during both our engagement and wedding shoots. She was so fun to work with while remaining highly professional and knowledgeable. The variety in our photos was incredible, but some of my favorites were the natural ones that perfectly captured our personalities. The rest of the OLAS team was also fantastic, helping us develop a detailed timeline and sharing portfolios of potential photographers to choose from. We received our photos quickly, and they were beautifully edited and of exceptional quality. Be sure to check out OLAS—and definitely ask for Victoria!

We are huge fans of Emma! Here are 5 reasons she should also be your wedding photographer: 1. Emma is incredibly nice and was so generous with wedding organizing wisdom. She helped us feel more confident about the thousands of small details in the entire process, from our first Zoom meeting with her to the engagement photo shoot to the final shots on our wedding day 2. She is incredibly thorough as a communicator. We never had any question about what she needed or what she was doing before, during, or after the ceremony. And she was even very communicative via email with our moms(!) 3. She is so organized but also so creative. She kept our wedding day smooth by planning out all the posed shots needed, and she got all photos back to us in an always impressive timeframe. But she was also always open for a surprising shot or a little experiment. It made her work feel even more personal 4. She was a rock star on our wedding day, if you couldn’t tell. And she was a super fun hang during our engagement photo session, which featured Emma, my wife, and I improvising playful shots during a sudden rain storm(!) 5. Most of all, when she’s taking photos of you, her excitement in that moment fires you up more and makes you feel so comfortable. She makes you feel like your pictures are the best wedding photos ever taken. (But ours were, obviously)

The turnaround time for those photos was great and the quality of work was not compromised by how quickly we got them. For our wedding day they were able to catch all the best moments without making the day feel like it was all about photos.
