I’m Jill — a Wisconsin wedding photographer with over 13 years of experience and a serious love for honest, emotional moments. I’m drawn to real connection, great light, and the kind of photos that feel alive, not overly posed or polished.

Awarded Best of Zola
Jill was fantastic to work with. She helped me feel comfortable even though I usually feel awkward posing for pictures. My husband and I had such a great experience with Jill for our engagement photos that we asked her back to photograph our wedding and we would do it again. All our photos, from both photo events, are simply stunning. She captured our energy, the scenery, the natural light, and made us look great!

Timeless | Romantic | Classic Wedding photographer - I believe in the idea that "great photos are created from personal connection." I put my heart and soul into making sure the couples I work with have the best possible experience and end up with images that we can both be proud of. My favorite part of taking photos is being able to find the special moments within your big milestones. It's those candid times, along with the significance of the occasion, that come together to create your favorite memories and it's my job to capture those through my visual storytelling.

Meg is a dream and truly one of the best around. She was recommended to me by a friend and I have zero regrets. She is funny, understanding, and a total professional. Our engagement photos and wedding photos turned out incredible. Can't recommend her enough!

I'm Courtney! I care not only about providing you with sharp, authentic and colorful images on your wedding day, but helping you to be fully present on your wedding day so you remember all the big and little moments.

Courtney was AMAZING! I found Expedition Joy on instagram when she was doing a giveaway contest for a free Engagement session. To our suprise and BIGGEST BLESSING— we won! When my husband and I met Courtney, we instantly clicked! She was so easy to talk to and made us feel so comfortable so quickly! She was very intentional about building trust with her and having a friendship as well! We had great conversations during our shoot and got to learn about her aswell! After our session, my husband and I both agreed that we NEEDED Courtney to be a part of our big day. We expressed our excitement with Courtney just as much as she expressed hers with us! During the planning months, she was so easy to reach and made us feel confident that she would go above and beyond for us on our special day and she DID. Courtney showed up camera in hand and started shooting the second she walked in the door! She was ON IT. She continued to encourage the bridal party and family so they felt comfortable as she was taking photos. She was so intentional with everyone! Courtney and her second shooter were the life of the party on the dance floor! They had a blast with us and it was so much fun for all of our guests to cheer them on when they went to bust a move in the center circle! Courtney continued her 5-star reputation throughout the night and even went above and beyond to stay past our contracted time for our grand exit! She took the most memorable photos of our day, we will always remeber her when we reminisce on our beautiful photos! She truly is Expedition Joy

Hey there! We are a husband and wife photo & video team who LOVE capturing love!! We are based in Rockford IL but are always up for travel too! We got married in 2016, started our business shortly after that and have had a blast getting to where we are today! Some of our favorite things are Thai food, coffee, pop punk music and most of all, our pup, Snickers!

Mitch and Rachel Visuals were the perfect photographers for our wedding day. From the very beginning, their communication style was easy, clear, and extremely helpful. They listened intently to what we wanted and didn't want in terms of photos, making the entire process stress-free and fun. On the day of the wedding, they moved quickly and efficiently to capture all the big group shots, easing any anxiety we had about sticking to the timeline.

Hi, I'm Brian. A photographer with 10+ years of experience and a never-ending fresh exuberance. I capture your day without being intrusive. My approach is detailed yet fluid, photographing your day as it unfolds. I will anticipate where the moments are going to happen. I take the time to photograph the details you painstakingly decided on. I capture all the hugs, smiles, laughs, and tears that organically occur throughout your wedding day. I also take a little time and make it even more just about you. Even with just a few minutes, we capture that amazing moment of just the two of you that will be in your hearts forever.

Brian from B. Adams Photography was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding day. From the very first interaction, he was professional, prompt, and had a fun, joking personality that instantly put us at ease. His communication throughout the planning process was top-notch, providing a detailed timeline that guided us seamlessly through the day. On the wedding day itself, Brian catered to all of our specific wishes for photos, capturing every moment beautifully. The quality of his work is the best of the best, and we feel we received incredible value for the investment.

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!

Awarded Best of Zola
Elliot was amazing to work with for our engagement photos and wedding photos. He showed up on time and was ready to go. He was very easy to work with and came prepared with everything. He gave us a 30 minute warning before his time was up and asked if we wanted any other specific photos. He gave direction and guided us through our wedding photos. He was flexible when our wedding timeline needed to be adjusted. He did a great job with delivering our sneak peak photos within 2 days of our engagement photos and wedding photos. I am so in love with our wedding sneak peaks. I can't wait to see the rest of them. I cannot recommend him enough. I will definitely work with him again in the future!

We can not recommend IG PHOTO VIDEO INC enough. We had Tetyana and Egidijus as our photographers and Irad as our videographer. We also were in contact with Ivan. He was extremely communicative throughout the entire process. From introducing us to Tetyana, Egidijus and Irad, How the process would happen from start to finish to getting our photos and videos back. The photos and video blew us out of the water. We are so in awe of the work and quality they put into our day. They were truly the best to work with from start to finish. The only thing is we have so many pictures I can not choose a favorite. (But that's a great problem to have) They truly captured my husband and I in our photos and videos and we are so blessed we came across their page. This company is 100 percent worth the money and we wouldn't have changed a single thing. You guys were amazing in person and in your work! You can definitely tell they love what they do by the work they produce. A huge thank you to Tetyana, Egidijus, Irad, and Ivan for helping make our day extra special and a day we can look back on in 50 plus years!

You are probably assuming my about me section will have a story about how I always wanted to be a photographer, I came out of the womb holding a camera, but that couldn’t be me. I stumbled into it, literally. I had no plans to become a wedding photographer. I was either going to follow my dad’s path and go to dental school, or become a social worker. But a freshman in college decided to shoot a few photos for fun, and now over eight years and almost 200 weddings later, I could not imagine myself doing anything else. This is my dream job!

Awarded Best of Zola
Abby wasn’t able to travel to my wedding but she sent her assistants and she edited the photos. It went absolutely perfect. The photos were beautiful and I got so many meaningful photos with my family and his family that I wouldn’t have thought to get. I sent her draft of a timeline and the photographers printed it out and had it to make sure the photos I wanted got done. They were absolutely amazing. Thank you so much to Abby and her team.
