Can’t recommend them enough. I hate being in front of a camera but VIDART made me feel relaxed. The candids are unbelievable, they caught me laughing with my dad and that one is now my favorite photo of us ever. Totally worth it.

Where to begin with how much Dusti made our wedding day and made our vision come to life. When I told her that I was envisioning a lot of greenery like when we hiked in Olympic National Park in Washington and a Lord of the Rings essence she knew exactly what I was talking about! She made communication easy and personable with videos chats online if we could not meet in person. She made a mood board that was very detailed to make sure we were on the same page which was extremely helpful. She had items we could rent and also helped guide us on what to purchase. My bouquet and my bridesmaids bouquets she made me instantly brought me to tears they were so beautiful. Honestly everything she made was so unique and special which was exactly what we were looking for. We wish we found her sooner in our wedding planning because she is incredible! The amount of stress she took off our shoulders was immense. She reached out to all the vendors to relay the timeline, she set up all the decorations for the ceremony site and took those down to bring to the reception site. Also decorated the reception site, set up the memorial table, guest book and gift table....then took down the decorations at the end of the reception and made sure they got to a safe place with our family or us. She set up our rented photobooth which is above and beyond what she had to do (packed that up as well) . Also, shout out to her assistant that day Samantha who is pregnant. Thank you!! Overall, I highly recommend Dusti. She was constantly in communication and made sure we could always reach her every step of the way. She is so incredibly talented, completely professional and her creativity and diligence did not go unnoticed. I can't thank her enough for making our wedding day so special.

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 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!

Elliot, our photographer for our wedding, was incredible to work with, fast and took amazing photos for us to remember our special day. We did not have much of a “plan” so his help was instrumental in organizing and initiating photo opportunities. We would %100 recommend him to anyone needing a photographer for an event.

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.

My daughter (the bride) explained how she wanted the buffet set up, Kayla understood exactly what she meant and made it happen with an "action station"! The buffet show was just as good as the food! I asked if the bartenders could drop a "drink topper" into the drinks, no problem. I asked if Hoffman House could provide desserts, no problem! I asked if we could change one of the wines at the last minute, no problem! Everything we requested was met with a positive attitude and I never felt like I was asking too much.

Our event ran smoothly and their staff exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend getting one of their coordinator packages because it will help you and them plan your big day. Megan Westrup was our coordinator and she made sure every single detail was taken care of, she also made a few fun suggestions that made our event unique and special! One of our many favorite things was that they have the getting-ready suites onsite which was a big plus for us and our wedding party. We also got their DJ service and Terry and Preston were amazing!

Based in Janesville, Wisconsin, I partner with corporate event planners, wedding coordinators, and private hosts throughout Madison, Milwaukee, and the Chicago area to elevate their gatherings. Weddings can be a bit awkward, especially if both your families don't know each other well yet. My magic turns those awkward family interactions into a moment of connection. Giving both sides something to break the ice, talk about, and create a unique memory together.

Sage performed for our Halloween party and she was fantastic! She peformed a variety of magic tricks for about 30 minutes and it was some of the best magic I've ever seen. I am, to this day, still figuring out how she performed some of the tricks! I cannot recommend her enough, if magic is what you're looking for, you've found it. Book her asap you will not regret it!

Hi, I'm Makenna, and I’m a Wedding + Lifestyle Photographer based in the Madison Metropolitan area! I am a midwest gal, born and raised, currently residing in Stoughton, WI. Most days you can find me hanging out with my best friend and husband, Chris, our daughter Scottie, and our dog, Sky. Other than my family and photography, I’m most passionate about music, dance and the arts in general. I’m also interested in clean skin care and beauty, sustainable fashion, supporting small businesses, and meeting/getting to know new people! I would love to get to know you more as a couple, and to photograph your wedding day!

Makenna was super great to work with and I really hope to work with her again in the future. She was really respectful of my space when I was aiming to get certain video shots, but was also communicative anywhere on site with not only us videographers, but also with her couples. She even captured a few photos of us in action for us to use on our website, which was so considerate! Again, I really enjoyed working with Makenna and hope to again soon. She is excellent!

I’m a Wisconsin-based, travel-ready photographer specializing in weddings and families who want photos that feel like them. My approach is natural, romantic, and real — documenting your story with emotion, movement, and meaning. Let’s create images that will live as part of your legacy.

Finding Dani for my wedding was SUCH a blessing! As someone who does NOT like their picture taken, she made me feel at ease, comfortable, CONFIDENT, and so beautiful! Our photos are full of smiles and laughter because she loves what she does, and she's GREAT at it. I couldn't be happier with Dani, and I REALLY encourage you to reach out and chat with her.

Hey, Im Grant. I'm a Madison, WI based wedding photographer who specializes in a documentary approach using both film and digital photography. If you want your wedding gallery to be uniquely yours (vs a Pinterest shotlist), then I'm your guy.

I can’t say enough good things about working with Grant. Working with him was so easy and fun! He took the time to ask us about our vision and what we were looking for from our day. Grant captured our day in such a unique and beautiful way you can feel the emotion in the photos. All our photos were everything I wanted and more! I can not recommend him enough!

Erin and Matt at Zedland Farm's Overlook Venue were wonderful to work with for our wedding! Erin was very responsive in email and text when we had questions during planning. The venue itself is clean, spacious, and has gorgeous views that made for beautiful photos. On our big day, Erin and Matt were on-site and attentive to any needs that came up. All our guests raved about the beauty of the venue and how caring the owners were. I can't praise Zedland Farm's enough for contributing to our special day - the communication, service and beautiful venue came together for an amazing wedding experience.
