We had our wedding ceremony and reception at the Boerner Botanical Gardens, hosted by Zilli Hospitality. Everything about our celebration was perfect in every way! The Zilli team is top notch- every little detail was executed in an amazing way! I had nothing to worry about the day of, knowing we were in great hands of the staff. They truly are so skilled and we were amazed at the way everything ran so smoothly- they are truly pros. They pay attention to every little detail and made sure things were perfect! Staff are so kind and attentive and willing to go out of their way when they can! The food was absolutely delicious. People were raving! Shout out to our main coordinator, Yvette, she was our first point of contact and was just exceptional throughout the entire process from start to finish. Her energy, kindness, enthusiasm, and professionalism put me at ease. Also, huge thanks to Dana and Amanda. Zilli staff made our wedding a magical experience for us and all of our guests. Thank you!

Ward 3 was absolutely amazing; we were lucky enough to work with Elena as our lead photographer and Irv as our lead videographer and from the start everyone was so communicative and put us at ease even early on in the planning process. They all just kept asking day of, how they could help us make the day go smooth and it really truly meant more than I could ever explain because it showed they weren't just there for photos and a paycheck, but they were there for US as a couple. Super quick turnaround time with sneak peek photos and I'm already blown away by the talent Ward 3 has in their photographers. I cannot wait to see everything else and our video :) Would recommend them too absolutely everyone!

We booked High Street Sound and Ward 3 Media together for our wedding at St. James 1868 and honestly… BEST decision we made. It felt like having one big dream team instead of juggling a bunch of separate vendors. Our DJ from High Street Sound totally nailed the vibe: classy during dinner, then full-on party once dancing started. He somehow mixed my throwback emo favorites with my husband’s country songs and made it work?? Everyone kept asking where we found him. Ward 3 Media was just as amazing. They were so relaxed and easy to talk to, but still super professional. They didn’t make anything feel stiff or staged the photos and video look like us only way better :) Personal moment I’ll never forget: during the reception, my bridesmaids surprised me with a little speech dance. I had NO idea it was coming. I looked over and the Ward 3 team had already repositioned and caught the whole thing like they saw it coming before I did. Watching it back in the video literally made me cry all over again. The best part about booking them as a bundle was how smoothly everything ran. They communicated with each other, coordinated timelines, and checked in with us all day so we never felt rushed or lost. The energy was fun, calm, and just so supportive. If you’re getting married at St. James (or honestly anywhere) and want zero stress plus insanely good photos, video, and music go with them. I would book this team again in a heartbeat.

Veronica Rose Wedding and Event Planning was one of the greatest gifts we gave ourselves on our wedding day. Veronica is exceptionally detail oriented in a way that instantly builds trust. From the very beginning, she saw things we did not even know to look for and treated every detail, big or small, as something that mattered. Her coordination was incredibly thorough and thoughtfully organized. The level of care she put into planning was evident in everything she did, right down to the Excel sheet that tracked every single piece of décor.

My husband & I worked with Sara for our wedding this past July for month-of coordination, and it was a super easy, enjoyable, and fun experience. Sara was personally a joy to work with and we clicked quickly. She remembered every detail from our meetings, kept me organized, and tracked down vendors for answers which helped me immensely. She went above & beyond what I was expecting, and as someone who usually likes control over all of the details I trusted her immediately and knew we were in good hands. Day-of, she hustled so hard and executed on every detail we discussed, making our day worry and stress free. She has a great way with people – making sure everyone in our families knew what they were doing (wrangling 20 people) but in a personable, yet firm way! I will miss working with her, and would recommend her to absolutely anyone. V

Hey! Allow me to introduce myself - I'm Stephanie. Born & raised in Wisco but I have a wandering soul. I love photographing love. Silly love, sweet love, crazy love, & any kind in between. Adventurous couples are my jam - those that aren't afraid to jump in a lake fully clothed or hang out with alpacas in the freezing cold for their shoot. I live for shoots where we are all barefoot, hanging by the lake, enjoying the sunset while I capture the moments.

From the very start, her communication was easy, accountable, and completely transparent, putting our minds at ease throughout the entire process. She was up front about pricing which we really appreciated. The quality of their work was truly incredible - the photos were absolutely beautiful and made me tear up when I first saw them. We booked Courtney as our head photographer and she knew exactly what she was doing! She made everything feel so easy and relaxed, and their team went above and beyond, even sending us prints of our photos with a beautiful Christmas ornament! They gave us so many good edited photos I was truly blown away.

Ari was great to work with! He was communicative, professional and always thinking of the details. There were options to fit our budget as well. Mark was our photographer and WOW HOLY COW! He was fun to work with and had this innate ability to bring out the best in everyone when capturing all the special moments. Then we received our digital photos, and they were absolutely spectacular! We were so impressed. Mark caught all moments with our family, friends and us, the bride and groom, that were loving, happy, beautiful, comedic, unexpected, reflective... We are in awe with all the shots and the quality. They are amazing. Ari also worked with us to do some minor editing on a few photos and organize them into a drop site. Definitely recommend Ari and Mark 100%!

Hey, I’m Alex—founder of Redwood Weddings and your behind-the-scenes bestie for all things planning. I didn’t grow up dreaming about weddings, but I did grow up organizing, (lovingly) bossing people around, and making sure everyone was taken care of. Turns out, those were all the signs. What started as a summer job at a Napa winery turned into a full-heart business here in Wisconsin. Now, I lead a team of detail-loving, down-to-earth planners who are obsessed with creating weddings that feel like magic—not cookie-cutter, just wildly you.

Awarded Best of Zola
Where do we even start! From the very first email, Colin was such a calming and supportive presence throughout the whole wedding planning process. Anytime I had a question or worry (which I had a few), he was right there with reassurance and quick answers - even when I’d email him late at night, he somehow would respond within minutes! That kind of responsiveness and care meant so much to us, especially in the week leading up to the wedding with things get hectic. He went above and beyond for our rehearsal, helping us run through every detail and setting up mics and speakers so efficiently that everything flowed seamlessly. It gave us such a peace of mind knowing he had everything under control. On the wedding day, Colin handled two complete sound setups - his wireless one for our outdoor ceremony and his main for the reception - and both were absolutely flawless! The sound quality was perfect the entire day; guests could hear every word of our ceremony and every speech crystal clear. There wasn’t a single hiccup. Then came one of the biggest surprises of the night - cold sparks! Colin and my husband had planned them without me knowing, and it was truly one of my favorite parts of the evening. It made our first dance feel straight out of a movie and the photos from that moment are unreal. If anyone is on the fence about adding cold sparks - DO IT! You won’t regret it. The Photo Booth was a huge hit with our guests! Colin recently upgraded with a printer which people were obsessed with being able to take home their photos (a little built in favor). It kept guests entertained all night long and added such a fun, interactive element to our reception. What really stood out though, was how Colin and his wife (who was his wonderful assistant that day) made everything so personal. They were professional yet warm, blending right into the crowd and truly feeling like family celebrating alongside us. Colin kept the energy flowing, a smooth timeline, and the dance floor full all night long. Looking back, we can’t imagine our day without Sound Love. Colin helped make everything easy, stress-free, and so much fun. We are endlessly grateful we chose him and will always recommended Sound Love to EVERY couple looking for a DJ who genuinely cares, listens, and delivers beyond expectations. Thank you, Colin, for everything you do.

A DJ will make or break a party and Milwaukee Underground Productions MADE OUR PARTY! Prior to our wedding day, we were convinced our friends and families would be avoiding the dance floor, opting for card games or the bar but, to my utter shock, there wasn’t a single song we didn't have a group dancing the entire evening. Chris Troka listened to us, who we are as a couple, who our guests would be and absolutely nailed it. He played a wide variety of songs that had everyone from my younger brother to our grandparents entertained. Chris’s set up was so sleek and looked very professional, from the up-lighting to the DJ booth. He was professional, funny, and a great DJ/MC.

There are really no words to say how absolutely LIFESAVING it was to have Monique coordinate our wedding!!! From the start of the process with filling out our questionnaire to packing up the end of the night, she is THE most detail-oriented, efficient, get things done professional. She is so warm, welcoming, and open to getting to know your vision and making it happen. We had quite a large bridal party with multiple events, and her wedding master document made it so much easier to keep everything and everyone organized and make sure nothing was missed. People always say to expect something to go wrong on your wedding day, it's not going to be perfect, but honestly nothing was missed and it was everything we could have hoped for. All of our decor and details were in place, everything was accounted for at the end of the night, and so many people in our party commented what a perfect combination she was of "professional and firm but friendly and not overbearing at all." I have been recommending Monique to anyone and everyone, do yourself a favor and hire THE BEST in the business with Monique!!!!

Lindsay Stayton Photography LLC 
Rating: 5.0 (11 reviews)
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Hales Corners, WI

Lindsay Stayton began her career in the photography industry in 2008. Her first gig was photographing The Worlds Largest Music Festival, Summerfest. In 2010, Lindsay was asked to photographed her first wedding after a couple stated "If you can photograph Flava Flave, then you can most definitely photograph our wedding!" Most couples have requested Lindsay to continue capturing life’s candid moments for their growing families, which led to her tag line: “Your Family Historian”. Lindsay has a distinct and unique style which captures real human emotion and candid moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
It’s honestly hard to capture in words just how incredible Lindsay is—not only as a photographer, but as a person. From the moment we first connected with her, it was clear she didn’t just see her role as “taking pictures.” She understood what our day was truly about: love, connection, and community. That perspective came through in every single interaction and every single image. When we were prioritizing our wedding budget, we knew photography would be at the very top. We decided to skip a videographer and planner and crossed our fingers that the photos would tell our story in the way we dreamed. Choosing Lindsay was without a doubt the best decision we could have made. Her talent, dedication, and passion shine through in a way that makes it clear she should never be considered “just another vendor.” She is a true artist, and worth every single penny. One of the biggest reasons we chose Lindsay was the diversity of couples she showcased in her portfolio. It meant so much to see ourselves reflected in her work, and it reassured us that she could capture the beauty, uniqueness, and authenticity of every couple’s love story. From start to finish, Lindsay gave us everything we could have asked for and then more. She guided us through engagement photos that were stunning and full of personality, and then on our wedding day, she showed up prepared, energized, and completely present. She not only took photos—she kept the day flowing. She helped us plan the timing of the schedule, moved groups seamlessly for portraits, and brought a sense of calm and confidence that allowed us to simply enjoy being in the moment. She even connected us with other vendors, showing how much she genuinely cares about her couples’ experiences beyond just the photos. And the photos themselves? Breathtaking. They are stunning, timeless, endearing, and true to the moment. She captured the big, emotional highlights of the day while also finding those in-between moments we didn’t even realize were happening—moments that make the memories so much richer. Our family and friends have been floored, with so many saying things like, “I never thought I could look that good in a picture” or “I can’t believe she managed to capture me actually smiling!” Lindsay has a gift for seeing people as they are and reflecting back their truest, most joyful selves. Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the day in the most beautiful way possible. These are the images we will share with family for years to come. Lindsay didn’t just document our wedding—she became part of the story, and the photos she gave us are part of our family history now. That’s why we know we’ll be returning to her for all of our future photography needs. She isn’t just a photographer; she’s a family historian, and we couldn’t be more grateful that she was the one to capture this chapter of our lives.

Aggie's Bakery and Cake Shop has been baking and creating masterpiece wedding cakes for over 40 years and we look forward to working with you! Our cakes are known for incredible texture and flavor and the delicious flavors are the result of a combination of baking mastery and passion that is simply unsurpassed. We use only the highest quality ingredients, recipes, and baking practices resulting in exceptionally delicious and moist cakes.

Aggie's Bakery & Cake Shop was a mixed leading up to our wedding day. The communication style from the owners was rude, rushed, and slow at times, which caused some minor hiccups that were partly my own fault for not reading everything carefully before confirming (wedding brain). However, the end result was absolutely worth it - the two beautiful 3-tiered cakes they created were simply gorgeous, decadent, and had everyone at our wedding raving about the incredible taste. Despite the less-than-ideal communication, Aggie's Bakery delivered on the quality and value of their work, creating cakes that were truly the highlight of our dessert table.

Hi! I'm Kayla - a traveling Milwaukee wedding photographer - and I'm going to make you cry. Wait, what? Don't worry, not in a bad way. Most of my couples say they cry when receiving their wedding photos from me for the first time. Five, ten, fifty years down the road when you open your wedding album, bet I'll get you again. You'll still be surrounded by your loved ones - remembering the happy tears and laughing until your belly hurts - just as you did on your wedding day.

We are so beyond thankful that we went with Kayla to photograph our wedding. Throughout our engagement shoot and the wedding day- watching her work is truly incredible. She is a master and finding little moments that bring absolute magic to her photos. Never did we feel like we were doing cheesy poses on our wedding day, and the photos reflect that. We have been looking through our sneak peek pictures obsessively because they instantly bring us back to our wedding day. Throughout which, Kayla was the calm amid the chaos. She was so focused on helping us stay on time and navigating us from one task to the next. It was such a comfort knowing that she had our backs and was ensuring that we got all of the big (and small) moments we had discussed leading up to the day. We can’t wait to see the rest of our photos. We know that choosing her as our photographer was one of absolute best decisions for our entire process - from engagement to wedding day. If her pictures haven’t already convinced you- let this be your sign! You want this one.

Hi, I’m Kelsey! I am a wedding photographer! I am obsessed with dogs. I will never not acknowledge a dog near me by saying “puppers”. It is what it is. I would 100% rather be on the beach somewhere with palm trees. I am constantly daydreaming about being in the tropics. I love the color black. If we work together, there is a high chance that will be my outfit color of choice.

Kelsey did our proposal shoot, engagement shoot, a random photoshoot we planned, and our wedding. She is so easy to work with and makes us feel so comfortable working with her. She goes above and beyond with her delivery of images too. She’s always given us more images than what we’ve paid for just because she enjoys the shoot so much and the images. You can tell she loves what she does through her work! She’s always timely with her shoots and delivery of images! She got us close to 100 preview images within a day of our wedding. We love working with her and highly recommend her!!!

Did you know that you are around your photographer more than any other vendor on your wedding day? It's so important to love your photographer and their style. I want to connect with you and take photos that really tell your story.

One Shot Scott Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. From our initial consultation, Erin was quick to respond, thorough in her communication, and incredibly organized throughout the entire process. Their attention to detail and ability to pivot seamlessly when needed was invaluable - Erin truly served as our guiding light, ensuring the day ran smoothly and giving us moments to ourselves when we needed them most. The quality of their work was stunning, capturing the beauty and emotion of our special day in a way that felt so personalized and genuine. Erin is not only talented professional, but also a warm and personable individual who made us feel at ease every step of the way. We cannot recommend her highly enough!!

We had Kevin as our DJ through Milwaukee Airwaves at the Filament. Kevin was personable and read the vibe of the room throughout the night. People were on the dance floor the entire night and he made everything run smoothly when introducing our bridal party, walking down the aisle, first dance songs, etc. He was a value add to our night and I would highly recommend!
