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.

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.

Hey there! What a special season of life you’re in right now. Planning a wedding is exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming trying to make sure the day is remembered the way it truly felt. No two weddings are the same, that’s why I guide couples like you documenting their real moments as they naturally unfold, so you can stay present and enjoy the day. Years from now, your photographs bring you right back to the emotions of it all. Tell me what you're most excited about and let's get to know each other!

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.

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.

I'm an artistic wedding photographer based in Milwaukee, a city I sincerely love to call home. When it comes to wedding photography I consider myself a professional third wheel—someone you could hang out with and who appreciates the authentic version of you! As your photographer, I promise to shoot fearlessly, notice the small details, and most importantly, tell your authentic story. If you believe that authenticity is more beautiful than perfection, I might be the photographer for you!

I've been artfully photographing couples and families for over 10 years. I take a documentary approach to weddings, along with some beautiful lifestyle portraiture. Most of my weddings take place in Milwaukee or Chicago, but I never say new no to a new spot!

It's all about having fun! If you love what you do it isn't work! You will notice that I am always in motion, always looking for that unique angle, reflection or to get that shadow in just the right place. I have even been known to climb a tree to get that special perspective from above. I will always offer suggestions for those adventurous enough to try something new for some great photos. Photographing weddings for over 20 years, I still find new ways to approach the day. It is more than just documenting the day but also about capturing the emotions, expressions and laughter with your friends and family.

I’m Kat, short from Katarzyna, Midwest photographer with European roots. I’m based in Milwaukee, living happily with my husband and our little family. I am a mom to two human kids, a dog, and a cat. I specialize in lifestyle portraits and weddings. My style is raw and real. I like to document life as it is, catching details of life as it unfolds, capturing emotions of the very moment, whether they be romantic, funny, candid, or formal. Through the lens of my camera, I see emotions, beauty, fashion, pieces of life as it happens. I want to document your life as it occurs, in a moment. I will make your special memories easy to remember forever.

With Heartfelt Gratitude. After an amazing journey that began back in 2009, it’s time for us to close the doors to our photography studio. It’s hard to put into words just how much this experience has meant — and how thankful we are for every single person who has trusted us to capture life’s most meaningful moments. To all of our wonderful clients, from the bottom of our hearts — thank you. Thank you for inviting us to be part of your stories, for letting us witness your joy, and for allowing us to freeze those fleeting moments in time.

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.

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 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.

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.

If you’re looking for natural, candid photos that feel relaxed and true to your day, you’re in the right place. I’m Kate, a Milwaukee-based photographer with a documentary approach and a cinematic touch. I focus on real moments as they naturally unfold - the in-between glances, laughter, quiet emotions, and all the little details that tell your story. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, present, and able to actually enjoy your wedding day. The result? Photos that feel natural, emotional, and timeless - images that reflect how your day truly looked and felt.

Retired actress, ex-celebrity nanny, Los Angeles expat turned editorial photographer and intimate chronicler of your love, I'm Ashton. My eye for aesthetic was honed during my 15 years in L.A. but my roots are as midwestern and full of heart as Brett Favre winning the 1997 Superbowl. I value love, human connection and well executed visions coming to fruition as fully experienced celebrations, documented honestly and preserved as imagery that you can feel forever.
