I'm a self proclaimed music enthusiast, homebody, & a love-your-photos advocate who promises to be with you for every single step to i do. On days that I'm at home, I'm usually curled up on the couch with my golden doodle and a good book. If the weather is nice, you can find me at the pool, hiking, or downhill skiing in the colder months! Oh.. & I LOVE food.

How do you put into words a service that is absolutely perfect and everything you’ve ever dreamed of? Caitlin is absolutely incredible. She has gone above and beyond other photographers I’ve worked with in every way. She helped us from the start with all sorts of information, tips and tricks and helped us create a timeline that worked for everyone and kept the whole day flowing. From engagement photos, to boudoir photos to our wedding – Caitlin was there and documented every step of the way. She truly is a godsend. She is so talented and every photo is crisp, beautiful and shows the true emotion of the day. She has one of the fastest turn-around times I have ever come across for wedding photographers. (We had our sneak peak 14 hours after she left our wedding and our entire gallery in 5 DAYS!) and every photo is perfect. She’s so quick and efficient and the groomsman didn’t complain once! She’s got a wonderful personality and she’s got jokes and makes every situation light and so enjoyable. She’s like a ninja and sometimes I forgot she was there! She’s so thorough and doesn’t miss a beat if something changes on the fly. We truly love all of our photos and recommend her to all of our friends who are getting married. She made the whole experience a breeze and so enjoyable and we love our photos and her so much!

Hi! I'm Amy. I love music, celebrating, and LOVE. Rolling the three together into a memorable night is pretty much the best thing ever, and I've been enjoying doing just that for over 15 years now. Polished Entertainment is my baby. I dreamed of having my own business for years, and there are few things I'd call more fulfilling. I'm a total people-pleaser, so learning more about your vision and executing it comes naturally to me. We'll meet and I'll soak in your plans, offer suggestions for rounding out the details you haven't considered yet, and pull it together for a low-stress planning process.

Our successful wedding say would not have been possible without Amy. From the first time we spoke we felt incredibly supported and heard by her. She was incredibly responsive, and conversations with her always left us feeling positive and excited. She took the playlists we created to give her a sense of our tastes and created an amazing playlist that had people enjoying the music from the start of the ceremony all the way to the last song of the reception! Hire her. It is a no brainer.

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
It was an absolute pleasure working with Elliot as our wedding photographer. From our very first engagement shoot to the big day itself, he was attentive, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. Elliot understood our vision perfectly every single time and made us feel completely at ease, knowing everything was in great hands. His communication was excellent. He answered every one of our (many) questions quickly and clearly, which made the entire process stress free. The final photos went above and beyond what we could’ve imagined. If you’re looking for the perfect photographer for your special day, don’t think twice: book Elliot!

We loved having Hoffman House as our catering vendor! Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the food and one guest even mentioned that it was the best wedding food he’s ever had! We chose the plated dinner option and had stuffed chicken caprese, baked ziti, and seared filet of sirloin as our options. And all options were delicious! We also had a slider bar as a late night snack and they were really yummy as well! We would highly recommend Hoffman house (:

We recently had our wedding at 10 South on Friday, November 1st, and the experience was absolutely wonderful from start to finish. From our initial tour to the day of the wedding and every meeting in between, the team at 10 South, especially Lindsay (Venue Manager) and Audrey (Event Manager), went above and beyond to make our day seamless. They took the stress out of planning with their coordinator packages, in-house DJ, and trusted list of preferred caterers, allowing us to fully enjoy the process. Their recommendations for furniture and decor rentals were spot on, making it easy to create the perfect atmosphere. I genuinely can’t recommend 10 South enough—if I could plan ten more weddings, I would host them all here!

Where do I even begin. Pat was ABSOLUTELY amazing. We met with Pat before signing with Koru Ceremony and knew after that short meeting she would be the one to marry us (I even canceled my other appointments with other officiants). Pat took time to get to know us, who we were individually and as a couple and created a ceremony that was absolutely us. When we first got our script for approval, I cried. We also received so many compliments after the ceremony on how great it was executed. We couldn't have asked for a better day and Pat started the afternoon with a beautiful ceremony, one we could have only dreamed of.

Ashley is wildly organized and a hard worker! I had zero worries the day of. There was one thing I noticed and it was only because I could see the shuttle arriving too early! Even then, I did not worry because I knew Ashley would handle it. My bustle kept falling and she would appear out of nowhere to fix it! During the planning process, she asked questions about things I had not thought of, was timely in her response to emails, and incredibly professional. She ensured no one came to me with questions on our day and I truly did not worry about logistics a single moment. I highly recommend!!

DJ KJ absolutely killed it!!! We had a unique multi floor venue where sound was needing in more than one place and he did an amazing job making it work. We had some small hiccups with speeches/ the microphones but I think that was more of us not knowing how close to hold the mic while we speak. There were a few changes throughout the day on my part and KJ was amazing at adapting and pivoting to what I was wanting. As far as announcing goes, he did a fantastic job with names and bringing the energy. As the night went on, he truly read our crowd and figured out what songs our group enjoyed and he did an amazing job at that. We got raving reviews from all of our guests about how great the DJ was. Thank you for making our day even more special!!! Highly recommend!!!

Old Coon Creek Inn was a fantastic venue for our wedding day. Their communication throughout the planning process was straightforward, timely, and non-ambiguous, which made it easy for us to stay on top of all the details. The quality of their work and value was outstanding - the outdoor space was beautifully maintained, had a charming, rustic feel, and was very fairly priced. We were able to visit the venue a few times to help with decision-making and planning, and they worked closely with us on the table and chair setup to have everything ready when we arrived to add our personal touches. They also recommended a wonderful on-site coordinator who was invaluable in ensuring our day ran smoothly. The flexibility they provided with vendor choices for various areas was also greatly appreciated, and because we were able to bring in a lot of our own elements, it was very cost-efficient for us. We couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else and are so grateful to the Old Coon Creek Inn team for helping make our special day perfect. Photos are by Laura Hamp from our wedding day (:

Most days you can find me hanging out with my best friend and husband, Chris, our daughter Scottie, and our dog, Sky.

Makenna was extremely helpful and understanding throughout the engagement and wedding photography process. Both my wife and I have little photography / posing experience so we were thankful for Makenna's input and suggestions. As she learned our photo preferences she was able to anticipate what shots we might want. Combined with her thorough review of planned wedding pictures we were able to prioritize what shots were "must haves" and massage our timeline as needed.

Four Winds Farm is a countryside wedding venue located in Fitchburg, just 10 minutes from Madison, WI. The newly restored 8,900 sq. ft. barn is the main attraction suitable for wedding receptions and ceremonies. Four Winds is a fully functional farm focusing on permaculture and can accommodate both small and large parties year-round. The barn, which holds 200 people, provides thoughtfully designed spaces that can be customized to suit your needs. The Loft is the most significant space on the barn's second level and has been updated and restored to enhance the gorgeous long wooden beams. This area is equipped with audio-visual hookups and speakers. The spacious kitchen and dining area was the newest addition during the refurbishment, and it includes a catering kitchen and a fireplace, creating a wonderful homely feeling. The attached patio space has direct access to several areas of the barn and is large enough to host an outdoor event all by itself.

We had our wedding at Four Winds Farm and it was fantastic. We were able to setup and do a rehearsal on Friday and clean everything up on Sunday. Kinzie was very easy and professional to work with. She answered all questions in a very timely manner. We had our ceremony and reception in the upstairs loft. The Four Winds team did a fantastic job in flipping and setting the tables for dinner. We took pictures in the loft upstairs which is gorgeous. Our wedding was in November and we were still able to get some beautiful outdoor shots by the various trees, rolling prairies, and sheep barn. We were able to pick our beverage package with Four Winds and they did a great job keeping the bars stocked upstairs and downstairs. I highly recommended a wedding or any event gathering at Four Winds Farm.

The Bowery was the first and only venue that my now husband and I toured. We took one step onto this property and instantly fell in love. The staff were so friendly and knowledgeable and they made everything so easy for planning! From checklists, to tipping guides, to responding (kindly) to my endless emails- we couldn’t have asked for more. I have to give a special shoutout to Hannah, who’s coordinating services we added onto our day. She truly understood and executed my wedding vision better than I could’ve ever imagined. We felt like we were part of the family here and not just another couple. If you’re looking for a place that is more than a venue- this is it.
